For travellers seeking to experience the wild, watery heart of Southern Africa, 'The Green Escape Extended' offers an extraordinary 10-day self-drive expedition. This meticulously curated journey bridges the dramatic sandstone landscapes of central Namibia with the lush, riverine corridors of the Caprivi Strip and the iconic floodplains of Botswana's Chobe National Park. Operating at a moderate pace, this self-drive adventure grants you the ultimate freedom to explore at your own rhythm while enjoying Kenakare's signature luxury accommodations and seamless logistics.
Your voyage begins at the striking Waterberg Plateau, a sanctuary of sheer brick-red cliffs where rare and endangered species, including black and white rhino, thrive. From there, you will journey northeast, watching the landscape transform into a subtropical paradise. Follow the life-giving Kavango River to Divundu, where the thunderous Popa Falls cascade over ancient rock ledges, and immerse yourself in the rich biodiversity of Bwabwata National Park—a crucial migratory corridor for vast herds of elephants and Cape buffalo.
Crossing into Botswana, you will arrive at Kasane, the threshold of the legendary Chobe National Park. Here, two full days of immersive exploration await, highlighted by private boat safaris along the Chobe River where you will drift past hundreds of bathing elephants, hippos, and basking crocodiles under golden African skies. Returning through the Caprivi's vibrant conservation areas back to Windhoek, this trans-national safari promises an unforgettable connection to the subcontinent's most dynamic wilderness systems.
