JOHANNESBURG TO NAIROBI 30 DAY OVERLAND
CAMPING SAFARI HIGHLIGHTS: ·
Ancient
Ruins Leaving Johannesburg early, we begin our trek north. Stopping en-route to do some last minute shopping, we head for our rustic bush-camp set on a private game reserve in the Limpopo Valley. We arrive early and familiarise ourselves with the vehicle and equipment, before camping the night. Enjoy a traditional "braai". D DAY 2: ZIMBABWE RUINS After a morning walk, we travel the short distance to the border where we complete formalities and then travel directly to the Great Zimbabwe Ruins. The afternoon is spent exploring this massive complex, and delving into the mysteries surrounding their origin. Tonight we enjoy a night of relative comfort, and a catered meal (own expense). B L A short drive today, we pass through the wide streets of Bulawayo, and on to our camp nestled amongst the precariously balancing boulders of Matobo. This afternoon we enjoy an open vehicle drive into the Matobo National Park in search of animals. This morning we stretch our legs with a climb on one of the "kopies" surrounding our camp before packing up and moving on to Hwange. This afternoon we enjoy an extensive open vehicle drive in search of the animals for which Hwange is so well known. Tonight we drift off to sleep to the sounds of the wild at our bush camp DAY 5 6: VICTORIA FALLS Leaving our bush-camp, we head for the amazing spectacle of Victoria Falls, and the surrounding tourist village. We spend two days here, at the DRIFTERS VICTORIA FALLS INN. There are numerous activities to pursue here, such as bungi-jumping, white-water rafting and aircraft flips (own expense). Clients will have leisure time to explore the town. One evening meal will be at a local restaurant (own expense). B L D An early start, we have a view of the falls whilst crossing the historic Livingstone Bridge over the Zambezi Gorge into Zambia. Our journey takes us across southern Zambia to the Kafue River where we set up camp at Gwabi. Relax by the pool and enjoy a hot shower. B L D After a river safety and procedure briefing we begin our canoeing adventure. These days are the highlight of the tour with excellent bird and game viewing opportunities. Hippo and other big game may be encountered at close range. This section does involve a certain amount of effort, and at night we camp wild on islands. We end the paddle at the Chongwe River, and camp here on the last night. The next day we conduct a short game walk before transferring back to Gwabi camp by boat, for a hot shower and a catered meal (own expense). Camp the night. B L D We continue north via the capital city, Lusaka, where we stock up on provisions, before moving along the Great East Road to our camp in the Luangwa district. B L D Travel on to camp on the banks of the Luangwa River where we overnight for two nights just outside the Luangwa National Park. We enter the southern park for some spectacular game viewing with excellent opportunities of Leopard sightings. Camp both nights. (Optional night drive, own expense) Today we enter Malawi, and after replenishing stocks and spending some time at the curio stalls in Lilongwe, we continue down to the lake where we spend two nights literally camping on the beach. The days are spent simply relaxing and soaking up the sun, or for the more energetic, the crystal clear waters offer excellent snorkeling and lovely beach walks. B L D DAY 16 : LAKE MALAWI Following the winding road along the lakeshore, we continue noth and agina camp the night on the beach, and enjoy Lake Malawi, one of Africas jewels. B L D Entering Tanzania, we begin our journey across this vast country. Tonight we will camp in the remote village of Mikumi. B L D DAY
18: DAR ES SALAAM
Rising early we continue game viewing for the entire day, before exiting the park and making for Simba Camp to camp the night on the lip of the Ngorongoro crater. B L D We descend into the crater on the steep dirt track cut into the crater wall. The diverse habitats of lake, swamp, grassland and acacia forests bring with them an equal diversity of game, with everything one can imagine, from Flamingo to Elephant and the ever-present Masai herdsmen. We finally exit the crater after lunch to return to Arusha for the night. B L D DAY 29: ARUSHA-NAIROBI After a final hopeful glimpse of Kilimanjaro we head due north to enter Kenya and to travel directly to Nairobi. We overnight in a simple hotel with an evening farewell meal (own expense). B L After breakfast we bid farewell to our fellow travellers and depart on our separate ways. Clients may join or leave this tour at certain stages of the itinerary. Call us for a quote in this regard. On the northbound tours, clients may on occasion return to Johannesburg with the vehicle at a nominal cost, but Drifters will be under no obligation whatsoever. DEPARTURES IMPORTANT
