Botswana and
the Island of Madagascar

A unique wildlife extravaganza -

A 23 Day adventure from the Okavango Delta to the giant Baobabs of Madagascar

23 days
13 September to 5 October 2009

For over 35 years, we have organised extraordinary journeys to our world's rarely visited and unique places. Our tours are carefully researched and crafted to not only enable you to visit the justifiably popular and better known tourist attractions, but to also take you 'Off the Beaten Path' allowing you to experience, as travellers, diverse and ‘special’ places that have, in the main escaped the gaze of mass tourism.

At last it is time to combine two of the worlds most diverse and extraordinary destinations in the one all encompassing tour. We have created, what we believe to be an ideal journey in a limited time frame and our experience commences in Botswana, where the San people (Bushmen) are believed to have inhabited for at least 30,000 years. They were followed by the pastoral Khoi Khoi (Hottentots) and later by Bantu groups, who migrated from the northwestern and eastern regions of Africa sometime during the 1st or 2nd century AD and settled along the Chobe River. After leaving the spectacular Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park we return briefly to Johannesburg to join our flight to neighbouring Madagascar - the Great Red Island. And, here we'll marvel at the diversity and variety of the endemic flora and fauna during our time spent in the great National Parks and Reserves of the Island.

As well as the varied and delightful accommodation, good food and wine, our tour will be a combination of veldt, mountains, green valleys, gentle lagoons, wild and dramatic scenery, small villages, townships and amazing animals – something for everyone!

Please reserve your place early, as space is strictly limited due to the availability of accommodation in many of the carefully selected hotels, camps and lodges where we will be staying
