Usually I don't return to a destination I have travelled to but Zambia was so beautiful and friendly I really hope to. I feel like a week wasn't long enough, I was just getting to know the children and would love to see them a year along in their development.
I made so many friends and felt safe at all times.
Although a volunteer holiday, I felt refreshed and relaxed arriving home. I would definitely recommend.

It was wonderful to visit Zambia but by doing it as a volunteer I felt I had earned the right to be there and I felt we had a more authentic experience of life in Zambia and met far more local people.

As an experienced volunteer with several mission experiences from all over the world, each program reminds me of the importance of reaching out to those in need and how much even a little help actually goes a long way to help an individual, bring relief to people and support communities. My experience in Zambia has helped with a vital academic/career pivot and cemented original goals. To anyone hesitant, IVHQ is tried and tested. Use this opportunity to see the world beyond your circle and in the process learn more about yourself.

Botswana & Victoria Falls Adventure (8 days, 7 nights)

Botswana & Victoria Falls Adventure (8 days, 7 nights)

Itinerary:


Day 1: Windhoek. Arrive at any time. 

Accommodation: Auas City Hotel (or similar) - Hotel

Today's activities:
  • Meet your CEO and group: Your opportunity to meet your CEO and fellow travellers, and learn more about your tour. Opt to join the group for a local meal afterwards. Don't forget to see the notice in the lobby (or ask reception) for the official time and place to meet up with the group.

Day 2: Windhoek/Ghanzi. Get ready to check another country off your list as the group crosses the border from Namibia into Botswana. Travel east into the heart of the Kalahari to Ghanzi. Catch a glimpse of how the Indigenous San Bushmen adapted to this difficult landscape on a San bushman walk.
Then while the day comes to an end, enjoy the warm hospitality of the San Bushmen as the group will be staying at the Dqae Qare San Lodge & Camp. The best part? You are making a difference in the lives of this community just by enjoying your time at camp. So sit back, allow yourself to become immersed in their history and culture, sit around the fire, and simply enjoy the moment.

Meals included: Breakfast and dinner 
Accommodation: Palm Afrique Lodge (or similar) - Lodge

Today's activities:
  • Private Vehicle: Windhoek - Ghanzi, 8 hours. Settle in and scan the scenery from the convenience of a private vehicle.
  • Border Crossing (Namibia - Botswana): Buitepos - Mamuno. Ready for a little more ink in your passport? Grab your bags and get ready to check another country off your bucket list. Today, you will be crossing at the Trans-Kalahari Border Post.
  • Guided Bush San Walk: Get a glimpse of how the San tribe adapted to the Kalahari Desert and learn about their fascinating wilderness survival skills. The gatherer life of the San/Bushmen has all but disappeared; there are few remaining who retain the survival skills of their ancient way of life. During the walk, San/Bushmen guides will share their knowledge on mastering this harsh environment, helping us learn about the botany of our surroundings.
  • Dqae Qare San Lodge & Camp: Immerse yourself in the culture and history of the Naro San when you stay at Dqae Qare San Lodge & Camp tonight. This campsite and wildlife area is the only land-owned freehold by an Indigenous community in all of Southern Africa. The San are known throughout the continent for their warm hospitality, and tonight you have the opportunity to be immersed in their history and culture with a bush walk and dance around the campfire. Dqae Qare San Lodge provides much-needed employment for the nearby village of D'kar, and revenue from the lodge is invested in the nearby preschool, art program, museum, and community projects that bring clean water and other resources to the village. Everything for the lodge is community-sourced, including the labour, materials, artwork and ingredients for meals.

Our secluded camp offers a true bush experience, with comfortable, fully-set-up tents and the sounds of nature all around. From here, you’ll explore the Delta the traditional way, gliding quietly through the waterways in a mokoro canoe, steered by skilled local polers who know the channels like the back of their hand. Back on land, a guided walking safari gives you the rare opportunity to connect with the bush on foot. Learn about the plants, animal tracks, and smaller wildlife often missed from a vehicle, while keeping an eye out for the Delta’s bigger residents. Evenings are spent relaxing by the campfire under a sky scattered with stars, swapping stories and listening to the night sounds of Africa. This is more than a trip, it’s an immersion into one of the world’s most remarkable ecosystems, guided by the people who call it home.
  • Tswana Dance Performance: Enjoy a captivating performance by the Polers in the Okavango Delta. They will sing traditional songs in the Tswana language, providing a glimpse into local culture.
