Notes

Your Takavada 2026 Safari will begin in Johannesburg on 22 July 2026.

 

We recommend that you book your flights to arrive in Johannesburg by this date.

 

If you are flying from Sydney directly to South Africa, please note that we gain a day flying to South Africa from Australia. This means that we arrive on the same day we leave Australia, despite the 14-to-15-hour overnight flight.

 

We will spend 1 night in Johannesburg. A pre departure meeting is arranged at 8:00 pm on the day of arrival.

 

We catch an early morning flight to Windhoek, Namibia, on 23 July 2026.
IT IS A ONE NIGHT STAY IN WINDHOEK before we head off on our scenic trip to Sesriem. From here, we fly on A light-chartered, scenic flight from Sesriem to the coastal, colonial town of Swakopmund.

 

A few Days later we head off on our wildlife adventure into the renowned Wildlife paradise of Etosha national park.

We spend 3 days in Etosha National Park before we head back to Windhoek to fly to Zambia.

 

In Zambia, we will catch up again with group members that are on the ZIMBABWE –ZAMBAI SAFARI.
