One hosted by a dedicated safari guide, chef, butler and maintenance crew, for just 14 guests, transported in each of the two custom-designed Mhondoro Landcruisers. Enclosed for longer distance travelling, these comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles have sunroofs and charging points, but also convert seamlessly into open game-viewing vehicles with raised, pop-up platforms as roof height vantage points.<\/p>\n
One where you\u2019ll stay in glamping tents with comfortable beds and crisp, fresh linen, set up in spectacular sites that include some unfenced, wild camping in nature reserves, complete with the basic comforts of a gas-heated hot shower and toilet facilities. Other nights may be spent in some of Southern Africa\u2019s most famous, well-established wilderness camps, while some itineraries also include the option of stays in luxury lodges along the way.<\/p>\n

A trip where all food preparation is done by the chef on open fires with the focus on wholesome, high-end camping meals, including potjiekos, braais and fresh bread baked daily, all enjoyed along with premium quality wines and other drinks around the campfire.<\/p>\n
This is what\u2019s new (and very exciting) from Mhondoro Safari Lodge and Villa in the Waterberg, who\u2019ve just launched the new Overland Safaris trips. Currently three different itineraries are offered with set departure dates between May and September next year (by when they\u2019ll have added with a Namibian itinerary).<\/p>\n
Sensational options for the more adventurous traveller, highlights of the unforgettable Botswana and Zambia overland safari, that departs from Maun, includes a Ntwetwe salt pan quad-bike adventure and meerkat family experience in the Makgadikgadi region, the forest and open savanna woodland of Nxai Pan National Park in Northern Botswana, and wild camping at Khwai Magotho between the Moremi and Savuti (Chobe) National Parks on the edge of the Okavango Delta. From there the adventure continues via Kasane, the meeting point of Botswana, Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe, with the option to end at Mukwa River Lodge on the Zambezi River, incorporating a visit to the Victoria Falls. Departing from the Waterberg, Botswana itineraries can easily be added onto a stay at Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa, covering Mapungupwe National Park, the Tuli Wilderness and the mighty Limpopo River, before returning to Mhondoro.<\/p>\n

Those guests who prefer to stay within the borders of South Africa can opt for the Cape Town itinerary, which starts in Port Elizabeth, visiting the Mountain Zebra National Park, Camdeboo National Park with a traditional farm stay, the Swartberg Nature Reserve and Gamkaskloof, which is known as Die Hel, onto Oudtshoorn, Montagu and Paternoster with Cape Town as final destination.<\/p>\n
These Overland Safaris promise to cover some of the most scenic reserves and wilderness areas of Southern Africa, as well as the ancient waterways of the Okavango Delta, where itineraries will include scenic flights and boat trips, and Mokoro excursions.<\/p>\n
They are a selection of bucket-list itineraries for those who yearn for a true African safari experience, yet one that is guided and managed by professionals to offer a safe and hassle-free safari.<\/p>\n
Families with children older than six are welcome, along with those who have a special interest in birds, stargazing, photography, and elephants!<\/p>\n
