The adventure
It’s one thing to watch nature documentaries from the comfort of your couch–it’s definitely another thing to get up close and personal with the wildlife of Botswana. During this unparalleled safari experience, you’ll travel in open jeeps and boats in search of elephants, giraffes, lions and exotic birds before resting up in our comfortable tented camps and even a house boat. Be sure to pack your camera—it might just be the most important piece of gear you bring with you.
Arrive at any time. Arrival transfer included.
Cross the border into Botswana, via a short border crossing through Namibia, continuing on to the Okavango Delta.
Transfer to a houseboat, which is home for the next 2 nights in the Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland delta. Travelling by houseboat allows us to explore a more secluded area of the delta, taking small boats into the channels and waterways for wildlife viewing and birdwatching.
Enjoy the day on a houseboat with early morning and late afternoon wildlife excursions. Opt to enjoy a cultural excursion to Tsoldilo Hills to view ancient San Bushman rock paintings, or relax on deck with a cool drink watching the passing scenery.
Transfer to the frontier town of Maun. Option to shop and take a scenic flight over the delta.
Drive to the Khwai River area bordering Moremi Game Reserve. With astounding wildlife, this area has been rated one of the best for wildlife viewing in the world. Relax this evening on the camp deck, admiring the stunning views with a cool drink.
Embark early on an open vehicle wildlife safari drive in Moremi and surrounding concession areas, enjoy lunch and continue with the wildlife safari drive. Make it back to camp in the afternoon with time to relax at the comfortable tented camp.
Leave the Khwai Area and move eastwards to Chobe National Park. Later, travel deeper into the Chobe wilderness to Ghoha Hills, with spectacular views of the surrounding bush. Enjoy late afternoon wildlife viewing in open vehicles around the hills and waterholes in search of elephants, lions, hippos, and giraffes.
In the morning, take a slow wildlife safari drive along the southern bank of the Chobe River. This afternoon, opt to take a sunset photography river cruise for wildlife viewing, accompanied by an expert wildlife photographer and guide.
Cross the border back into Zimbabwe for our final evening.
