From Whales to Waterways - A Safari Across South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe

Posted on Wed July 2, 2025.

Hylton and I recently hosted a luxury safari through Southern Africa. We began in the Cape Winelands with exceptional food and wine before heading to Botswana’s Okavango Delta, where high floodwaters meant boat-only access to our camp, and lions on the island with us.

In Linyanti, we saw leopards and lions at Duma Tau, and ended the journey in Zimbabwe with a powerful visit to Victoria Falls, both on foot and from the air. It was a journey rich in wildlife, luxury, and unforgettable moments.
