Hidden Jewels Africa Safari offers excursions to five countries starting from £140. Kavango – Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Areas (Kaza TFCA) is the world's second largest natural and landscape conservation area, spanning five countries.
It includes the Upper Zambezi River and the majority of Okavango Basin, the Delta, Caprivi Strip in Namibia, southeastern Angola, southwestern Zambia, and northern wild and western Zimbabwe in Botswana. The region is at the confluence of the Zambezi and Chobe rivers, where the borders of Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe meet. It incorporates many notable national parks and nature sites, including Chobe National Park, Fange National Park and Victoria Falls.
Kavango – Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation area covers 200,000 square miles. More than 110,000 square miles of the included land are 19 existing protected areas.
The region has around 250,000 African elephants, the largest population in the world. It also provides important habitat for lions and wild dogs.
“This is a season of paradise,” said Tinola Rogers, managing director and owner of Africa Monarch Lodges in Spring. “Luxurious, greenery, warm weather, lots of young people are born. I worked for Mara, Serengeti, Kruger and Buwabuta.
Telegraph Travel Correspondent Sarah Baxter said guided safaris are very inexpensive, with Pangolin Chobe at £140 for morning cruises, lunches and afternoon game drives.
At the heart of Kaza's vision is the premise that conservation can be a regional economic factor, resulting in a thriving landscape where wildlife and people coexist.
To achieve this, WWF supports Kaza's national government, communities and other partners, protecting wildlife, ensuring freshwater, promoting tourism, supporting the socioeconomic well-being and resilience of the community, ensuring that people living with Kaza's iconic wildlife are at the forefront of conservation planning and action.
