Itinerary
From the thunderous spray of Victoria Falls to the tranquil waterways of the Okavango Delta, the “Botswana & Zimbabwe Lodge Safari” is a 14-day wildlife adventure crafted for seniors and nature lovers. This moderate-activity tour begins and ends in Victoria Falls, weaving through Matobo National Park, Makgadikgadi Pans, and the elephant-rich Chobe region.
Enjoy expertly guided game drives, search for elusive rhinos and wild dogs, and marvel at burnished sunsets over shimmering pans. The journey is enhanced by comfortable lodge accommodations, included transport, meals, and small-group camaraderie. Each day brings a new wildlife spectacle, from leopard sightings in Hwange to starry skies above Botswana’s wilderness.
The main activity is wildlife viewing, with the unique selling point being the opportunity to experience Africa’s most iconic reserves from the comfort of handpicked lodges. Sundowners on the Makgadikgadi Pans and up-close encounters with Africa’s big game make this trip an unforgettable safari experience.
For those seeking a blend of adventure, comfort, and extraordinary wildlife, this safari tour delivers the best of Botswana and Zimbabwe.

Customer Reviews
Trip of a Lifetime
This safari exceeded every expectation. Exodus has created an outstanding itinerary that showcases the very best of Botswana and Zimbabwe, combining incredible wildlife encounters with comfortable lodges, knowledgeable guides, and unforgettable experiences. The wildlife viewing was simply exceptional and we were fortunate enough to witness some truly remarkable moments. The lodges were all unique, each with its own character, but every one was comfortable, welcoming and of excellent quality. The food was good and plentiful. We travelled with three couples and five solo travelers, and it was an absolute pleasure sharing this adventure with such wonderful people. The friendships, laughter and shared excitement added another special dimension to an already incredible experience.
