Days 1 & 2: Maun - Okavango Delta
Upon arrival at Maun Airport on Day 1, you are met by our representative and assisted onto your light aircraft transfer to Nxabega Camp in the heart of the Okavango. This pristine landscape is an enigma, a contradiction of origination and survival. Comprising of 16 000 square kilometers of crystal clear channels, myriad of islands and serene lagoons, fed by the mighty Okavango River - the entire system survives atop the sands of the vast Kalahari Desert, Enjoy game drives and mokoro (canoe) rides. The Okavango is famous for its birdwatching and its fish, which includes the Fighting Tigerfish, Pike and Bream species. Overnights at Nxabega Camp on a full board basis including park fees and scheduled activities.
Days 3 & 4: Linyanti Reserve
After breakfast on Day 3, a light aircraft transfer takes you to the Linyanti Reserve. The Linyanti Reserve is highly populated with animals particularly in the dry winter months when elephants concentrate in enormous numbers at the rivers and waterholes. Thousands of zebra spend the winter in the Linyanti before heading south to the Savuti in November in expectation of summer rains and good grazing. The particularly beautiful sable and roan antelopes are found here and red lechwe and the aquatic sitatunga antelope inhabit the wetlands. The main predators are lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and hyena. Birdlife is abundant here and particularly vocal with a magnificent dawn chorus. Daytime noises include incessantly grunting hippos and trumpeting elephants, while the night brings roaring lions and laughing hyenas.Enjoy boat cruises and fishing are available Kwando Camp on top of twice daily game drives.Overnights at Kwando Lagoon Camp on a full board basis including park fees and scheduled activities
Days 5 & 6: Savute Under Canvas
On Day 5, transfer by light aircraft to Savute. Carefully positioned in central Chobe National Park, is the elegant Savute Under Canvas tented camp. Featuring just six superlative ensuite safari tents, Savute Under Canvas allows guests to experience the pristine beauty of Botswana and its unrivalled wildlife at its best.During the rainy season, Savute, a famous corner of Chobe National Park hosts the annual zebra migration, which peaks in January and February when the zebra and wildebeest congregate in vast numbers to graze on the sweeter grasses brought on by the rains. It is not uncommon to also catch sight of leopard, cheetah and African wild dog. Savute also supports the greatest concentration of the king of all beasts – the lion. The landscape of Savute is strikingly different from the lush Chobe riverfront, with an almost desert–like feeling that has animals escaping the heat by grouping together in the limited available shade. Overnights at Savute Under Canvas on a full board basis including park fees and scheduled activities.
Day 7: Departure or Victoria Falls Extension
Today after breakfast, you are flown back to Kasane where you are met and transferred by road to Livingstone Airport where your safari ends.
