A watery and wild wonderland Where is Africa's Eden?

There’s a place in Africa where time has stood still, a place so vast and wild and wonderful where nature still reigns supreme, a breathtaking wildlife sanctuary that spans the borders of a few countries in Southern Africa – it’s known as Africa’s Eden. 

Hidden away from the rest of the world, somewhere between the Sahara and the South Pole, the most extraordinary Safari awaits. Okavango Delta, Kafue, Hwange, Makgadikgadi, Lower Zambezi and the Caprivi – to name a few. And at its centre, Victoria Falls – a mighty waterfall and gateway to the region.   

You’ll find mighty, elephant-lined rivers at one end and a magnificent waterfall at the other, all connected by a sea of tiny bush planes, ready to make their way to countless hideaways teeming with wildlife but hardly another soul in sight. These are stylish places to escape to that we just know you’ll love. 

It’s not actually uncharted because, well, we have a map. Still, it’s an area known to be one of the last remaining wildlife sanctuaries. This alone makes it a destination worthy of being explored differently. 

Embark on unforgettable game drives through pristine landscapes, where each turn presents a new encounter with nature’s marvels. Witness the immense herds of elephants bathing in the shimmering waters, spot elusive predators stealthily traversing the grasslands, and marvel at the spectacle of bird migrations that paint the sky with vibrant colours.

Highlights

Africa's Eden: Go with the flow.

A water safari

There’s an underlying current to the region known as Africa’s Eden… water! And it’s the water that sets the region apart - there’s nothing like this in the rest of Africa.

Water moves us

Africa’s Eden has countless rivers too. The iconic Zambezi River stretches across six countries on its journey to the Indian Ocean.

Rainbow water

Victoria Falls, known as “The Smoke That Thunders,” is a natural wonder that leaves visitors in awe. Amidst its mist, a beautiful rainbow emerges, stretching across the horizon.

Water worship

With a desert ecosystem in destinations like the Kalahari carefully balanced on a knife edge, every drop of water here is celebrated.

Salty sites

In the Makgadikgadi – you can actually walk on water! As you wander across this seemingly endless salt pan, you’ll feel the surreal sensation of treading upon what was once a super lake.
