Days 1 to 2 : Okavango Delta
After arrival in Maun, fly into the heart of the Okavango
Delta to our Mopane Mokoro Camp where you will spend the
next two nights. Here we explore papyrus-fringed channels,
lily-covered lagoons and forested islands. Transport is
by mokoro (dug-out canoe) punted by BaYei boatmen. All of
the Okavango’s big game including Buffalo and the
beautiful Red Lechwe are frequently encountered. There is
a possibility of spotting the elusive antelope, the Sitatunga.
Swamp Boubou, Slaty Egret, Pygmy Goose, Copperytailed Coucal
and Lesser Jacana are among the special birds one may encounter.
African Fish Eagles and waterbirds are plentiful. Here,
at our secluded private campsite under a profusion of stars,
one may enjoy the tranquillity of the Delta night punctuated
by the calls of Owls and Nightjars and the distant grunting
of a Hippo and roars of Lion.
Days
3 to 5 : Moremi Game Reserve
This morning we will fly back to Maun where there will be
time to enjoy a shower, lunch and relax in our guest lounge
before driving into the Moremi Game Reserve where our game
viewing begins. Our private campsite is in Moremi, one of
Botswana's most scenic parks. Time is spent traversing the
woodlands in search of Wild Dog, Leopard, Lion and colourful
birds such as Meyer's Parrot and Wattled Crane.
Days
6 and 7 : Savute\Chobe National Park
Savute is our next stop, and we camp in the vicinity of
the now dry Savute Marsh. The area is famous for large numbers
of Bull Elephants that congregate around the waterholes,
as well as the Lion prides and clans of Spotted Hyenas that
are resident in the area and are frequently seen. Cheetah
and Wild Dog are also found in the area, and large herds
of plains game gather on the open grasslands. Photographic
opportunities are exceptional. Several award-winning documentaries,
including "Eternal Enemies" and "Patterns
in the Grass", have been filmed in this area.
Days
8 and 9 : Chobe National Park
From Savute we head north to the Chobe River. Camp is set
up along or near the banks of the Chobe River within the
park. This is superb Elephant and big game country. Antelope,
including the rare Puku, as well as predators such as Lion,
abound in this region. Water birds are also abundant.
Day
10 : Victoria Falls
From northern Chobe it is a leisurely drive to Victoria
Falls. We expect to be at the Ilala Lodge by midday. Victoria
Falls accommodation is on bed and breakfast basis. There
are a variety of optional activities that can be enjoyed
at your leisure. A full day is needed for white water rafting,
and would require an additional night in Victoria Falls.
Day
11 : End of Safari
Your safari ends at midday in Victoria Falls. Transfers
are for your own account.
