Highlights
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Arrival in Maun — Okavango Delta
Arrive at Maun Airport, the gateway to the Okavango Delta. Your guide transfers you to your Delta camp via light aircraft (approx. 20–40 minutes) or by road depending on your chosen lodge. The Delta spreads 15,000 km² of pristine channels, lagoons, and palm-studded islands — a permanent freshwater oasis in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. Afternoon game drive or boat ride to settle in. Dinner and overnight at your Delta lodge or tented camp.
Okavango Delta — Mokoro Safari & Walking
Rise early for a sunrise mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) excursion through the Delta's reed-lined channels. The mokoro is poled silently by an experienced local guide, allowing extraordinarily close encounters with water birds, hippos, and elephants drinking at the water's edge. After breakfast, explore one of the Delta's islands on a guided walking safari — tracking lion spoor, identifying birds, and learning to read the bush. Return to camp for lunch, afternoon boat ride, and sundowners on the water.
Okavango Delta — Moremi Game Reserve
Transfer to Moremi Game Reserve within the Okavango Delta — one of Botswana's most diverse wildlife areas, combining permanent water, floodplains, and dry savanna. Morning and afternoon game drives through Chief's Island and the Mopane Tongue. Moremi offers exceptional predator viewing: lion, leopard, cheetah, and the endangered African wild dog all occur here. Hippos and crocodiles crowd the river channels. Dinner at camp under a blanket of stars.
Moremi Game Reserve — Full Day
A full day inside Moremi with morning and afternoon drives. The diverse habitat — floodplain, mopane woodland, and thornbush — means wildlife varies dramatically between morning and afternoon. Buffalo herds of hundreds may block the track; wild dog packs weave through the mopane. Ask your guide about the spectacular seasonal changes as flood waters from Angola reach the Delta between June and August, pushing game onto higher ground and transforming the landscape. Campfire and dinner under the stars.
Transfer to Chobe National Park
Fly or drive north to Chobe National Park (approx. 30 minutes by air or 4 hours by road via Kasane). Chobe is famous for having the highest concentration of elephants in Africa — herds of up to 450 animals converge on the Chobe River in the dry season. Check into your riverside lodge. Afternoon game drive along the Chobe floodplain where elephants, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, and lion share the rich riverside habitat. Dinner and overnight.
Chobe River Cruise & Game Drives
Morning game drive in Chobe with your guide tracking lion and leopard in the riverine forest. After lunch, a sunset boat cruise on the Chobe River is the highlight of any Chobe visit — elephants swim across the river in convoys, hippos yawn in the shallows, Nile crocodiles bask on sandbanks, and African fish eagles call overhead. The evening light on the river is extraordinary for photography. Return to lodge for dinner.
Chobe — Victoria Falls Day Trip (Optional)
Optional day excursion to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe (just 80km from Kasane). The falls are one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World — at 1,708m wide and 108m tall, they are the largest waterfall on earth by total flow volume. Walk the rainforest trail with mist rising from the Zambezi Gorge. Return to Chobe for dinner, or extend your trip with a night in Victoria Falls. This excursion is bookable on request.
Kasane — Departure
Final morning game drive along the Chobe River at sunrise before breakfast. Transfer to Kasane Airport for your departure flight to Johannesburg, Nairobi, or your onward destination. Take with you extraordinary memories of Africa's greatest wilderness.
