Moremi Game Reserve * Okavango Delta (water camp) * Savute Channel, Chobe * Victoria Falls
This 10-night Botswana safari with Victoria Falls brings together three of Botswana’s most rewarding wildlife regions before ending beside the mighty Victoria Falls.
Begin in the Moremi Game Reserve, where seasonal floodplains, woodlands and open grasslands support an exceptional variety of wildlife. Most activities here are land-based, with the possibility of exploring by boat as well. From Moremi, fly deeper into the Okavango Delta for a contrasting water-based safari experience. Glide quietly through reed-lined channels by mokoro, explore by motorboat and enjoy guided bush walks on the delta’s islands.
Your journey then continues to the game-rich Savute Channel in Chobe National Park. Known for its dramatic wildlife encounters and strong predator populations, Savute offers exciting game drives across a rugged landscape shaped by ancient waterways. The safari ends with two nights at Ilala Lodge in Victoria Falls. The hotel is within walking distance of the Falls, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace. A sunset cruise on the Zambezi River is included, and we can add additional activities to suit your particular interests.
Although this itinerary offers excellent value by Botswana safari standards, the quality of the camps remains impressively high. Each property has been selected for its setting, service and authentic safari atmosphere.

Tailor-make this Botswana Safari with Victoria Falls
We can change some of the camps used in your safari without much change in price. For example, if you are interested in birding or tiger-fishing, then you may prefer to swap out the Water-based lodge in the Delta for Nxamaseri Island Lodge in the delta’s panhandle. From here you can also enjoy a fascinating visit to the Tsodilo Hills with its collection of over 2,000 rock art paintings.
Or you may prefer to go to Leroo La Tau to see the Zebra migration, the second largest migration in Africa which happens at the start and end of the dry season. Or you can opt for Chobe Game Lodge (for a small discount of $300 pp) which is on the Chobe River front).
And – if you simply can’t choose – why not add on 1-2 nights in order to stay at four different safari regions? (Technically, you can stay at 4 different camps for 2 nights each but it may be too tiring so we recommend adding on a night or two…)
Tailor This Safari
This Botswana Safari with Victoria Falls itinerary is an inspirational starting point and can be adapted to suit your interests, preferred travel season and pace.
For keen birders or anglers, the water-based delta stay can be replaced with Nxamaseri Island Lodge in the Okavango Panhandle. This also creates the opportunity to visit the Tsodilo Hills, home to thousands of ancient rock paintings. If you opt for this we recommend extending the safari by one night if possible.
If you are interested in Botswana’s zebra migration – the second largest migration in Africa – you may prefer to include Leroo La Tau, particularly around the beginning or end of the dry season.
Savute Safari Lodge can also be exchanged for Chobe Game Lodge on the Chobe Riverfront. Though we find that part of the park a little too busy….
Alternatively, add one or two nights to experience four distinct safari regions without making the journey feel rushed.
