This journey leads you from the tranquil waters of the Zambezi, where Tembo Plains Camp nestles in Zimbabwe’s private Sapi Reserve, to the untouched wilderness of Botswana’s Selinda and Duba Plains. Along the way, you’ll witness the transformation of former hunting grounds into thriving sanctuaries, explore landscapes teeming with iconic wildlife, and immerse yourself in the spirit of conservation that defines this remarkable region. Each destination offers a unique window into Africa’s soul, promising intimate encounters, breathtaking scenery, and memories that will last a lifetime.
