Botswana and Victoria Falls
Botswana is wildlife rich all year round and Victoria Falls is always awe inspiring, however the flow of the water changes the vistas, with water levels peaking in April, and lowest in November.
With a trip spanning two gorgeous countries, a slightly longer stay is recommended, giving you plenty of time to soak in the charm of Southern Africa.
