THIS IS AFRICA BOTSWANA TUSCAN TREATS ITALY Explore Africa’s unspoiled beauty on this safari adventure. Ride down the Okavango Delta in a traditional dugout canoe and get up close and personal with the hippo over ice-cold sundowners on your houseboat. Feast with the local San Bushmen on warthog, buffalo, crocodile, impala before joining in the song and dance with your African drum and hear the tales of the Kalahari Bushmen around campfire. Sleep with the wild in the Chobe National Park, lick the Makgadikgadi Pans – one of the world’s largest salt flats – and bathe openly in an indoor freestanding bath or outdoor shower at your thatched chalet built on stilts. And don’t let the thundering sounds of the Victoria Falls scare you away from meeting one of the true natural wonders of the world. Slow your travels down to the pace of Tuscany. There is something to be said for home cooked meals. Get your hands dirty as you put on your chef’s hat and try your hand at whipping up some delicious traditional recipes from the region with a true local. Spend your morning strolling through the local markets to gather fresh produce for your authentic cook off!
