Something a little different to our mobile safaris… the Three Rivers Safari is a 10-night lodge-to-lodge safari. A fully accommodated safari visiting 7 different lodges in 3 different countries. Travel between the lodges in a Quantum mini-bus with a Letaka guide. Once at the lodges you will do the activities with their vehicles or boats.
Your safari begins at 14h00 at Maun Airport where you will be met by your Letaka Safaris guide who will transfer you to the comfortable Thamalakane River Lodge on the outskirts of Maun. Here you will have the chance to relax after your long haul flights and prep for an early departure the next day when the real adventure begins.
Dinner included.
An early start this morning so we can get on the road to our next stop. Arriving in Shakawe we will leave our vehicle for boats for our transfer to the lodge, where you have time to orientate yourself before heading out for an afternoon boat cruise.
Activities (boat cruise)
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
Enjoy an opportunity to spend the day exploring this UNESCO World Heritage area by boat and on foot.
Today we will exit Botswana and enter in to Namibia and the lush Caprivi strip. Traveling east through the Caprivi we will arrive at Nambwa Tented Camp, our accommodation for the night. The only lodge situated inside the Bwabwata National Park and where you will have the opportunity to head out on a game drive in the afternoon.
Please check if you require a pre-organised visa for Namibia prior to travel.
You will have some leisure time this morning where you can enjoy the peace of the lodge or head out on another activity (not included) before departing and continuing further east almost to Katima Mulilo where we will stay overlooking the Zambezi River upon which we will enjoy a sunset cruise before dinner.
The border crossing in to Zambia can be a true African experience as a multitude of permits are required for vehicles however, the drive itself between Katima Mulilo and Livingstone is relatively short at around 3 hours but, do expect some waiting at the border where you can people watch.
Once through, you will continue in to Livingstone where you will stay for 2 nights enjoying the multitude of activities on offer from bungee jumping to microflights, birding along the river to game drives in the Mosi-ao-Tunya National Park and obviously a tour of the mighty Victoria Falls themselves.
In our time in Livingstone we shall go for a tour of the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls.
Due to the sheer choice of additional activities, these have not been included in the itinerary and guests will have a full day to do as they wish (for more information on the availability activities and if you would like to pre-book, please contact your agent).
On this full day in Livingstone, you will have the chance to cross into Zimbabwe briefly to see the falls from that side in all its glory!
Farewell to Zambia as we head across the mighty Zambezi on the ferry and back into Botswana and heading to the Lesoma Valley on the border between Botswana and Zimbabwe.
The accommodations in the Lesoma Valley avoid the hustle of Kasane town and provide tranquil game viewing and birding opportunities in the Lesoma Valley, Chobe National Park and on the Chobe River itself.
Activities (boat cruise on the Chobe River, Game Drive in Lesoma and the Chobe National Park)
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
Today will be spent exploring this area of the Chobe by boat and game drive.
Activities (morning game drive and afternoon boat or game drive depending on sightings reports)
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
After a light breakfast we head south from Kasane through Nata and then towards Gweta Lodge. Situated near the Makgadikgadi Pans This area incorporates a multitude of salt pans and vast grass plains dotted by palm islands and forms the Great Makgadikgadi which comprise the largest area of salt pans in the world covering some 37 000 sq km in overall extent. It is the last vestiges of Africa’s largest inland sea and exudes an atmosphere of antiquity and mystery.
This afternoon we shall take a walk through the village and engage with the local community and inhabitants to see how day to day life in a Botswana village is.
Activities (Village Tour)
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
This morning we shall head out towards the pans themselves to take in the wonders of the moon-like landscapes!
An afternoon Baobab and sundowner walk is always a nice way to end the final full day here.

After breakfast, you will depart for Maun where we will expect to arrive approximately 12h00 for those guests who are departing on any of the international flights.

At Eclipse Travel, our expert destination knowledge and decades of travel planning experience come at no extra cost to you. While many think booking through a tour operator is more expensive than planning a trip independently, that’s not the case. We’re paid by our travel partners—such as hotels, activity operators, and cruise providers—via commissions, not by our clients.
Our team negotiates the best rates for you and ensures you receive unbiased advice, with no preference for any particular supplier. In fact, where we secure higher commissions, we often pass the savings on to you, giving us a competitive price edge.
Additionally, we lock in exchange rates at the time of your deposit, ensuring no surprise costs when it’s time for final payment. You can rest easy knowing we’ll handle the details with our suppliers. The only exceptions are national park fee increases or fuel surcharges imposed after your booking, though these are rare.
Take advantage of our team’s expertise and let us help you plan the perfect holiday—hassle-free!
Planning your next adventure has never been easier with our free downloadable travel guides. Get in-depth insights into local attractions, dining options, and hidden gems, all curated by our team of travel specialists with decades of experience.
