DAY 3 - 4 Moremi Game Reserve A short flight in a light aircraft takes you to Khwai in the Moremi Game Reserve.Covering approximately a third of the Okavango Delta, the Moremi combines permanent waterways with drier areas, creating a reserve filled with unexpected contrasts and diverse wildlife. Its riverine forests, tall mopane woodlands and spreading floodplains fringed with majestic palms make it one of Africa's most scenic wildlife areas.The combination of habitats makes Moremi the ideal place for your expedition to combine typical savanna game viewing with leisurely cruises along lagoons and channels and rich bird watching. Spend two nights camping in the reserve, with extensive game-drives taking up your days. DAY 5 - 6 Chobe National Park - Savute region A long game drive (5 - 6 hours) takes you to Savute in the Chobe National Park, where you will spend two nights camping in an area renowned for thrilling sightings of lion and other predator.With the enigmatic Savute Channel now once again bringing water to the region after a drought of nearly 30 years, Savute has been transformed. Large areas of marshland have formed along the channel, attracting a wide range of resident game and the accompanying predator species. DAY 7 - 8 Chobe National Park - Serondela region Travel to northern Chobe (4 - 5 hours overland game drive), where you will camp for two nights in the Serondela area. This is the heart of elephant country and you may spend many hours watching the huge herds in and around the Chobe River on game drives or private boat cruises. Northern Chobe is renowned for its large variety of bird and animal life, beautiful scenery and magnificent sunsets.
