Day 2 Okavango Delta

Transfer to the Okavango Delta and activities in the delta.

After breakfast, it will be time to depart for the wilderness in our comfortable open-sided safari jeeps and embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

You will spend the next six days exploring the profound beauty of the Okavango Delta, Moremi, Savuti, and Chobe National Parks; scouring the parks for its abundant wildlife and immerse yourself in the local culture of remote tribes. After busy days, gaze upon breath-taking, fiery sunsets before gathering round the campsite to share your adventures under a sky full of stars.

This day you will explore the delta channels on mokoros (traditional dugout canoes) in the morning; rides of which are the highlight of the Okavango Delta. Lunch at the camp and another game viewing activity in the afternoon. This will be another mokoro ride along the delta channels to see the delta`s wildlife as they come down for the water. You will be driven back to the camp after sunset.

Day 3 Okavango Delta - Moremi Game Reserve

Okavango Delta and Moremi Game Reserve. Game viewing in Moremi game reserve

The Okavango Delta is one of the most expansive wetland systems in Southern Africa and offers spectacular game viewing and a wide variety of birdlife. Come up close and personal with hippos, lions, herds of zebra, and extraordinary birdlife. Your chance to meet the locals - the bush people (the bushmen) in their semi-permanent homes in Moremi Game Reserve.

Today you will do a morning game drive in the Moremi Game Reserve - we call it the predators paradise. Break for lunch at the camp and do another game viewing drive in the afternoon. You may also get a chance to visit the bushmen homes - semi-permanent homes in the Moremi Game Reserve. Moremi is just adjacent to the delta - for easier of logistics we will use the same camp.

Day 4 Savuti National Park

Transfer to Savuti and afternoon game viewing in the Savuti National Park.

This morning we will head deep into the Savuti Marsh. The Savuti area borders the Delta to the west and Chobe National Park to the east and is one of Africa's best-known big game areas. It is famous for its predators, especially its resident lion and spotted hyena populations - one place where one has a realistic chance of seeing the cheetah, leopard, wild dog, and other predators. The upper Savuti areas are among the most beautiful in Botswana. The game-viewing can be exceptional, and the wide variety of activities makes this an area not to be missed. Savuti hosts large herds of buffalo, zebra, elephant, and loads of other plains game.

You will game drive to Savuti soon after breakfast and we will be at the camp in Savuti game park in the afternoon. After lunch and siesta, you will do the sunset drive - the best time of the day to encounter the Savuti predators as they will be active and hunting again. You will be back at the camp after sunset.

Day 5 Savuti - Chobe National Park

Game viewing in the Chobe National Park.

Chobe National Park is Botswana's first national park, and also the most biologically diverse. It is located in the north of the country and is Botswana's third-largest park, after Central Kalahari Game Reserve and Gemsbok National Park. It has one of the greatest concentrations of game in all of Africa. The park is noted for having a population of lions that prey on African elephants, mostly calves or juveniles, but even sub-adults.

This day you will depart Savuti (soon after breakfast) and game drive to the Chobe National Park where you will visit this part of the Chobe that is secretly located away from the peak season crowds at the Chobe riverfront. This is also an area where elephant and buffalo can be seen in their hundreds - an experience not to be missed.

You will be at the camp at around lunchtime and after some rest, you will do a sunset game drive in the upper Chobe area - looking for the Chobe predators.

Day 6 Chobe National Park

Game viewing in the Chobe Riverfront.

Chobe is one of the most famous safari lands in all of Africa and is home to numerous animals. This day we visit the famous Chobe waterfront in search of lion, leopard, hyena, elephant, giraffe, and a host of plains game. The combination of wildlife, birdlife, and reptiles along the river's edge is a photographer’s dream, and the day`s two-game drives will give you plenty of time to explore it. You may also do an afternoon game drive on the Chobe River and witness some of the best sunsets that will camp at any of the Boga camps in the Chobe National Park.
