Reggie Van Lee's Birthday Celebration
May 5 – 13, 2026 Namibia & Botswana
Get ready for an unforgettable celebration across Southern Africa as we honor Reggie Van Lee's birthday in extraordinary fashion. This once-in-a-lifetime journey will take us from the cosmopolitan heart of Johannesburg to the wildlife-rich banks of the Chobe River in Botswana, and finally to the surreal landscapes and coastal charm of Swakopmund, Namibia.
May is one of the best times to visit both countries. In Botswana, the dry season begins, which makes for incredible game viewing as animals gather near water sources like the Chobe River. In Namibia, you’ll enjoy cool breezes, golden light, and the otherworldly beauty of towering dunes and vast coastlines.
While this isn’t a traditional safari in the bush, it’s full of exhilarating, authentic African adventures. Experience a game drive through Chobe National Park, enjoy a private sunset cruise on the Chobe River, marvel at Victoria Falls (one of the 7 natural wonders of the world), and explore the haunting beauty of the Namib Desert with options like dune bashing and boat rides along the Skeleton Coast.
This celebration isn’t just a trip. It’s a gathering of friends and family, a journey through iconic landscapes, and a tribute to life, joy, and legacy.
