Overview

Ranch, Wilderness & Waterfall — One Unforgettable Journey

The Grand Safari is our signature journey: begin at Zulani's private malaria-free ranch in Limpopo, venture east to the dramatic escarpment of Blyde River Canyon and the game-rich plains of Kruger National Park, then head west into Botswana's wild Okavango Delta and the Chobe riverfront, before crossing into Zambia to experience Victoria Falls — one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Fully guided throughout, with a qualified tour guide and PDP driver.
