Day 1: Maun
This safari starts at the hotel in Maun where we have an evening meal at a local restaurant (own
expense).
Day 2-3: Okavango Delta
The Okavango Delta is an extraordinary wilderness environment that needs no introduction. A vast
wetland paradise in the center of the Kalahari Desert, fed by rivers from Angolan highlands and
seasonal rains. It is an ever changing kaleidoscope of waterways, reed beds, islands and dry land that
grows and shrinks each season like a living creature itself, supporting a breathtaking range of wildlife.
Hippos, elephants, lions and buffalo, the shy Sitatunga antelope and the abundant birdlife – a truly
amazing wildlife experience.
We drive around the Okavango through small villages, skirting the extremes of the flood to Etsha,
where we follow thick sands tracks into the Okavango Delta panhandle. Your room overlooks a
beautiful lagoon and you’ll enjoy a morning mokoro excursion and a sunset motorboat cruise.
Day 4-5: Moremi/Mababe
Moremi Game Reserve is the jewel of Botswana and arguably one of the best wildlife viewing
destinations in Africa. Moremi’s wide variety of habitats makes it a birdwatchers paradise.
Surrounding Moremi is a vast wilderness consisting of open grasslands and forest and abundant wildlife
and our camp is set on a concession bordering the east of the reserve. Our days are spent on open
4WD game drives in Moremi GR and on the wildlife concession along the Mababe River watching the
abundant wildlife including elephant, hippo, buffalo, lion & other game, both in Moremi Game Reserve
and in the private concession reserves adjoining the park.
Day 6-7: Savuti
We head north from Moremi to the renowned Savuti section of the Chobe National Park. This is an
excellent area for big predators with frequent sightings of lion and leopard, elephant and plains game.
We spend our time on game drives through the dramatic open plains dotted with Acacia, and along the
Savuti channel where we hope to see the lions and hyenas that make Savuti an outstanding wildlife
destination. We overnight in our serviced tented camp. After dinner in our dining tent, fall asleep to
the sounds of the African bush.
Day 8-9: Chobe National Park
Our next destination is Chobe National Park. We depart Savuti and head north through the remote
wilderness of Botswana to the small town of Kasane and our lodge on the banks of the Chobe River.
The following day we explore the national park on a morning game drive and spend the rest of the day
on the river, enjoying lunch on our cruise boat with spectacular wildlife viewing. This is possibly the
most satisfying and relaxing game viewing activity in Southern Africa. We get close to the herds of
elephants, and have amazing sightings of crocodile, hippo, fish eagle and many more. As the sun sets
we head out of the park with some amazing wildlife and sunset photographs.
Day 10: Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
We leave Botswana behind and cross into Zimbabwe and make our way to Victoria Falls. The mighty
Zambezi River thunders 100m over the gorge creating a magnificent spectacle. The spray from the
waterfall sustains a rainforest surrounding the falls which is abundant with birdlife and protected in a
National Park. We explore the Victoria Falls on foot with a local guide bringing the Falls to life with
tales of the explorers of these ancient lands.
Day 11: Victorial Falls - Tour Ends
There is time for one of the many optional adventure activities (own expense) before the tour ends.
