Each of the next few days brings the opportunity to explore your corner of the Okavango Delta. Lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo along with extensive plains game are always close by, waiting to be discovered. Birds of all kinds also call this paradise home, like herons, goshawks, fish eagles, sunbirds, hornbills, francolins and rollers. Rare antelope species like sable, tsessebe, sitatunga and lechwe can also be seen here as can the predators that hunt them like wild dog and leopard. No two days are ever the same and the anticipation each morning is palpable. 

After a morning wildlife activity, you'll fly even further out into the Delta.

Classic: Little Vumbura is a small, intimate, six-tent camp embodies all that is best about the Okavango Delta. The permanent wetland island habitat around camp abounds with treed islands of all sizes, surrounded by permanent waterways created by the summer rains and the annual flood of the Delta. Game drives here are incredibly productive, with guests often sighting amazing wildlife on the transfer from airstrip to camp. Float along a crystal-clear Okavango waterway by mokoro as you scan for reed frogs and waterlilies. 

Luxury: The eight spacious suites of Mombo are raised off the ground, and built to maximize the vistas over the plains. Each tent is elegantly furnished, complete with en-suite bathroom, a dressing area, indoor and outdoor showers, as well as a bathtub that creates a sense of indulgence. The expanded deck includes a sala and plunge pool. This is home to arguably the best big game viewing by vehicle in all of Africa with a bountiful hunting ground for large prides of lion and leopard.

Exploring the Delta each day, you'll be treated to an array of wildlife. Elephants trumpeting or taking a mud bath, mating lions, the rare cheetah on the prowl, plains game always wary and alert for signs of predators creeping up on them. Your expert guide will know just where to find all these critters and explain what they are doing and why. As much as a safari is about seeing wildlife, its the learning about everything that takes the experience to another level. Enjoy fresh coffee around the campfire each morning and gourmet meals served under the stars each night.

After a final morning wildlife activity, head to the airstrip bound for Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-tunya (the smoke that thunders). Both options are exceptionally well-positioned to overlook the Zambezi River and provide access to the falls.

Classic: Toka Leya sits just upstream from the falls on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River. The camp is far enough from Livingstone to ensure a tranquil, authentic bush experience, yet close enough for guests to enjoy all the many activities in the greater Victoria Falls area. Wash off the dust from the bush, enjoy a spa treatment, and toast the sunset on an evening cruise upriver. Local village tours are possible as is catch and release fishing.

Luxury: Situated on a private Zimbabwean riverfront, each of Matetsi's spacious suites is encased in local and repurposed materials while abstract carvings and local artwork complement the natural and contemporary atmosphere. A lovely en-suite bathroom boasts indoor and outdoor showers as well as a deep circular bath, which looks out over the Zambezi. A private veranda offers a refreshing plunge pool and a comfortable sitting area.

Today is yours to decide. Spend the morning on a tour of the Victoria Falls - sunrise here can be spectacular and it is much less crowded right at dawn. For those who are keen, take to the skies by helicopter to get a bird's eye view and tour of the falls. Victoria Falls and Livingstone both offer ample opportunities for shopping for gifts for those back home. Look no further than the on-site spa or gym to practice yoga, work out or just get a massage and relax. 

Bid farewell to southern Africa as you head to the Victoria Falls airport in time for your international departing flight.
