Belém district is your starting point, and you will begin your tour with a visit to the Belém Tower, which originally stood in the middle of the Tagus River, but isnow just off its shore. For centuries, Portuguese explorers set off from this 16th-century fortress in search of the riches of the new world.

You´ll also visit Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, an incomparable monastery that epitomizes the Manueline style, a highly decorative form of architecture that emerged during the reign of Manuel I (1495-1521). This ambitious building reflects the confidence Portugal enjoyed when its explorers roamed the seas, and it is classed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. One of the greatest navigators, Vasco de Gama, is buried in the monastery’s church. We recommend stopping for pastéis de Belém, the incredibly tasty cream- filled pastries are named after the district.

Before your tour ends, your guide will take down to the River Tagus, making a stop at the Sé Catedral, the religious center of Portugal since 1147. The fact that it is still standing today is a testament to the strength of the people of this region who recaptured the territory from the Moors and had the church built as a monument to their liberation. Continue your way through the streets of  the historic center until reaching the monumental Praça do Comércio, one of the biggest open squares in Europe. You’ll have the river at your feet and the majestic Rua Augusta Arch on your back.

Per i norvegesi Bergen è una grande città, ma con il fascino e l’atmosfera di un piccolo borgo. I suoi patriottici abitanti sono orgogliosi della loro città poliedrica, della la sua storia e delle tradizioni culturali. Molti sono felici anche nel suggerire ai visitatori le attrazioni, i bar e ristoranti che amano.

Circa il 10 per cento della popolazione di Bergen è composta da studenti, che danno alla città una ventata di allegria. Insieme all’offerta di musei, gallerie d’arte, eventi culturali e ristorazione, e alle possibilità offerte da mare e montagne, questo contribuisce a renderla una città viva e vivace.

Fondata più di 900 anni fa, Bergen fonda le sue radici nell’era vichinga e oltre. Uno dei principali uffici della Lega Anseatica, Bergen è stata per diverse centinaia di anni un prospero centro di commercio tra la Norvegia e il resto d’Europa. Bryggen, (“il molo anseatico”) è la traccia più evidente di quest’epoca, ed è oggi sede di molti dei ristoranti della città, pub, negozi di artigianato e musei storici.

Trasferimento da Tennevoll a Nyksund (durata: 5 ore e mezzo/ 250 KM).

NYKSUND was one of the largest fishing villages in Vesterålen around the turn of the previous century. In 1900, the place had 127 permanent residents, but during the winter fishing season, the population increased by several hundred. During one year there were some 750 visiting fishermen using Nyksund as a port for their open Nordland boats. However, the advent of larger fishing boats made the harbour unsuitably narrow, and the village was gradually depopulated. In 1973, the school was closed, and two years later, the last permanent residents moved away. Almost all of the residents of Nyksund moved to Myre, helped by government relocation subsidies. 

Nyksund is distinguished from other fishing villages by its special architecture. During the 1980s, the ghost town by the open ocean awakened with new life, first through an interna-tional youth project, and later as a result of active culture and tourism development. Today the village has many permanent residents who operate art galleries, overnight facilities, restaurants and cafés, as well as ocean-based activities.

The last portion of the road before Nyksund is an experience in itself; it winds alongside vertical mountain walls on the one side, and the open ocean far below on the other. We might also mention that the old gravel road represents a timeline, including preserved traces of human settlement dating all the way back to the Iron Age. Along the 9-km-long road, you can enjoy the view of fish-drying racks by the Hulderstein, Sami gravesites in Kråknesura, the monument raised to the memory of local sea rescue hero Torstein Reinholdsen, and Sami dwelling features and graves at Skåltofta and Rødneset.

This morning you will be picked up from the lodge and transferred though to the town of Kasane in Botswana. Tonight, you will be staying in a nice Lodge. This is a small 8 roomed property that is located in the small town of Kasane. It is based on the banks of the Chobe River. The lodge is five minutes by boat from the Chobe National Park and approximately eight minutes by vehicle. You can book afternoon activities such as a boat cruise on the Chobe River or you can enjoy a safari into the Chobe National Park.

The Chobe River forms the northern boundary of the Chobe National Park, renowned for its diverse and abundant game viewing opportunities. This section of the park is best known for its dense concentration of wildlife including elephant and hippo populations, but the waters attract all manner of game including large herds of buffalo and the lions that prey on them. A visit to this area guarantees close encounters with an array of African wildlife. Visitors can look forward to some exciting activities such as: driving along the game-dotted river banks in a 4WD; cruising along the river in a motorboat, spotting rare birdlife and for a unique, luxury safari experience, hire a houseboat.

Dinner and breakfast included.

This morning after breakfast you will be transferred to the Kasane Airport for an internal flight to the Savuti.

Set up camp and relax with a refreshment until darkness falls and dinner is served under the night stars! After a delicious meal it is time for bed.

In the heart of Botswana’s Chobe National Park lies a dynamic wilderness, a sweeping expanse of savannah brooded over by several rocky outcrops which guard a relic marsh and the dry channel that was once its lifeline. This is Savute, where mysterious wet and dry cycles mould the landscape and dictate the nature of its wild inhabitants. Currently it is dry, and wild dogs hunt in the channel where crocodiles swam only twenty years ago.
The Gubatsa Hills shelter leopard and klipspringer and rock paintings of early man’s wildlife sightings. During the arid winter months game viewing concentrates on Savute’s resident bull elephants, antelope and lion prides, and black-backed jackal, bat-eared foxes, tsessebe, and kudu, abound.
The summer rains bring a feast for lion, hyena and cheetah as thousands of migrating zebra and wildebeest assemble in a chaotic pattern on the marsh. Cape buffalo herds arrive and migrant birds swell Savute’s 300 resident species, thrilling bird-watchers with their spectacular antics.

Full board and activities included

Savuti – Chobe National Park. The mornings will fall into a rhythm after this with a wake-up call around 5:30 am with tea, coffee and breakfast before heading out on the morning’s activity.

It covers more than 4871 square kilometres of pristine wilderness, and the varied terrain includes savannah, winding waterways, and dense forest. This diverse ecosystem supports an incredibly wide spectrum of wildlife, ranging from large herds of buffalo, wildebeest and zebra, to the rare sitatunga and lechwe antelope, lion, cheetah and packs of wild dog in the open grasslands. The birdlife is prolific and includes most of the 550 bird species recorded on Botswana’s national bird list.

Today you will move through to the Deception Valley based in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.  This is a bit of a longer transfer which gives you a great opportunity to see Botswana! An idea of the daily activities in the area includes a game drive visiting the Deception Pan and numerous waterholes in this semi arid reserve. After close to 4 hours exploring the area you will return to camp and refresh with a warm bucket shower and a tasty lunch before relaxing for the afternoon. After high tea you will head off on an afternoon Game drive until sunset.

Adventurous travellers seeking a truly remote African safari will be thrilled to discover that such a thing still exists. As the second largest game reserve in the world and one of the least visited, nothing can prepare you for the sheer wonder of exploring this vast reserve with its wild, untouched beauty. The landscape is dominated by sand veldt, acacias, and Kalahari appleleaf, interspersed with grasslands, and dotted with occasional sand dunes, pans and fossil river valleys. While the reserve is home to an impressive variety of wildlife, there is one animal that is rather obviously absent, the human being. It is this lack of human traffic, combined with the park’s lack of infrastructure, that makes for a challenging and marvelously authentic African experience. Visitors need to be entirely self-sufficient but those willing to make the effort will be richly rewarded.
