 Day 1 : 2 nights, Wilderness Camping, Okavango Delta, Full Board & Game Drives
Charter flight into the Delta. The Okavango, the jewel in the middle of the Kalahari Desert, is Africa?s largest and most beautiful oasis - an isolated, lush green paradise with some of the richest wildlife in the world. This exceedingly beautiful maze of waterways, lagoons, vast grassy plains and palm-fringed and wooded islands is home to crocodile, hippo, elephant, lion, leopard, hyena, giraffe, wild dog, rare antelope and around 400 bird species. Explore the channels and lagoons by mokoro (dugout canoe) and on foot. Excellent birding. Exclusive wilderness camping on private Delta concession
|
Day 3 : 2 nights, Wilderness Camping, Moremi Wildlife Reserve, Full Board & Game Drives
Charter flight into Moremi - one of Africa's most beautiful reserves. The Moremi Wildlife Reserve is protected tribal land, which forms the eastern boundary of the Okavango Delta. The largest island in the delta, Chief?s Island, is located within the Moremi and is a wildlife haven. The Moremi is known for its predators, both of the mammal and feathered variety. Night drives and armed game walks are not permitted here but the exceptional quality of the game-viewing more than makes up for this. Two exclusive wilderness camping overnights.
|
Day 5 : 2 nights, Wilderness Camping, Savute, Chobe National Park, Full Board & Game Drives
Continue north by road into the Chobe National Park to stay in the Savute Marsh area. Dry season game viewing (May to Oct) concentrates Savute?s resident bull elephant, antelope and its world-famous lion prides around the permanent waterholes. The summer rains (Nov to Mar) bring a feast for the predators, as thousands of migrating zebra congregate on the marsh during their journey in search of life?s basic needs - water and food. Two exclusive wilderness camping overnights.
|
Day 7 : 2 nights, Wilderness Camping, Northern Chobe National Park, Full Board & Game Drives
Continue north to the Chobe River. The Chobe river system is known for some of the best elephant viewing in Africa in the winter months (May to Oct), with huge herds of up to 500 or more at the end of the dry season. Lion are common, and almost expected, with buffalo, cheetah and an amazing variety of antelope often sighted. The river is alive with crocodile and hippo and marvellous birdlife, including kingfishers and bee-eaters. Exclusive wilderness camping.
|
Day 9 : 1 night, Matetsi or Kingdom Hotel, Full Board & Activities
