If you traced the Call of the Wild, it would originate in Southern Africa. This journey deep into the heart of the Dark Continent will get you closer to the fascinating wildlife and unfiltered natural beauty of this region than you’ve ever been before. Safari excursions in search of the ‘Big 5’ through Botswana and South Africa’s Kruger National Park and Timbavati Game Reserve form the backbone of this trip. And while the animals doze, you’ll have ample time to recharge in the intimate environs of Livingstone, Zambia.
