12-Day Hwange & Elephant Sands & Okavango Delta Comfort Small-Group Safari

12-Day Hwange & Elephant Sands & Okavango Delta Comfort Small-Group Safari is designed as a longer circuit with several changes of setting, following Hwange, Victoria Falls, Chobe, Elephant Sands, Makgadikgadi Pans and Okavango Delta. Use it as a small-group proposal where departure dates, vehicle occupancy and group routines need to be agreed.

Indicative market benchmark: US$4,838 per person, checked on 26 October 2026 against SafariBookings operator listings. This is a planning reference for a comparable route, not a confirmed Book Safari Tours rate or reserved departure. A dated quotation must confirm accommodation, transport, permits, taxes and inclusions. The meal table follows the researched reference programme; the final quotation confirms the services reserved for your party.

How the journey flows

Zimbabwe can combine Victoria Falls with a substantial wildlife stay, especially when the route leaves enough nights for Hwange or Mana Pools. Also, compare road, flight and river transfers as parts of the trip rather than interchangeable upgrades.

Check each day alongside its transfers. In particular, allow for pickup times and road or flight connections before counting a full wildlife-viewing day.

Why choose this route

Hwange

Several nights in Hwange give a Victoria Falls combination a substantial wildlife component. Compare the camp’s sector, road access and included activities before judging the value of a package.

Victoria Falls

A waterfall stay can provide a memorable beginning or end to a wildlife circuit. Confirm the country, airport and included entrance side. Water levels influence views and optional river activities.

Chobe

Chobe is a strong river-and-wildlife component in a northern Botswana itinerary. A riverfront hotel, a mobile safari and a remote lodge offer different daily experiences; compare the included activities.

Elephant Sands

This stop can break an overland route through northeastern Botswana. Treat it as its own overnight and activity arrangement rather than assuming national-park facilities or guaranteed sightings.

Makgadikgadi Pans

The pans create a major landscape contrast to the river and Delta regions. Activities depend on surface conditions; a dry-pan outing should not be assumed in every month.

Okavango Delta

A Delta stay brings channels, islands and floodplain landscapes into the journey. Confirm the camp’s water and land activity mix for your month, including any aircraft luggage limits.

Group size and departure arrangements

First, confirm the departure date, minimum group and maximum people per vehicle. Also, check whether every traveller has a suitable viewing position. A shared itinerary follows the group’s transfer and activity schedule; a private alternative may suit travellers who need more flexibility.

However, the benchmark does not establish that a departure is operating on your dates. Ask how a change in participant numbers affects the price and what happens if the advertised minimum group does not form.

Accommodation and package scope

The research reference is in the mid-range category. However, it is a starting point for discussion, not a hotel reservation. Then compare the proposed properties by their location, access to activities, room setup and meal plan. A tented camp can offer very different facilities from a basic campsite, even when both appear in the same broad budget search.

Next, request one itemised proposal. It should cover accommodation nights, game drives or guided visits, transfers, park charges, meals and drinking water. However, an activity mentioned as a possibility is not automatically included. Named hotels in third-party research are not evidence of a partnership or available rooms.

Prices, seasons and what can change

The researched USD reference is US$4,838 per person. Other displayed currencies are indicative conversions using the 2026-10-23 reference rates: USD 1 = EUR 0.89342, GBP 0.74804 and CAD 1.3995. Converted amounts are rounded up to whole currency units and are not exchange-rate guarantees.

Also, room sharing, the travel month, vehicle occupancy, domestic flights and permit availability can all change the final amount. Therefore, ask for the price for your exact party and dates. Include any single supplement, child arrangements and mandatory charges. Finally, check international airfare, entry documents, insurance, tips and optional excursions.

For any cross-border combination, identify the actual airport, border crossing and pickup arrangement. Victoria Falls and Livingstone are different gateways, and the waterfall experience changes with the river conditions.

Cross-border connections

In addition, this route crosses national borders. Next, the written proposal should identify each flight or road crossing, any guide or vehicle handover, and time for border checks. Check entry and transit requirements for each traveller’s passport through the relevant official authorities before paying for non-refundable travel.
