Upon your arrival at Maun Airport, our team will greet you and accompany you to your aircraft for the flight to your initial destination in the Moremi Game Reserve. Our Guide, Pilot Manga, will meet you at the airstrip and escort you to the camp where you can refresh and settle in.

Returning to camp typically occurs around 6:30 pm from October to March and at 6 pm from March to September, adhering to national park regulations that prohibit movement outside the campsite after these hours for conservation purposes.

Your tent, measuring 6 x 3m, comes equipped with a private veranda, bathroom facilities, a bucket shower, and a chemical-flushing toilet, ensuring a comfortable and private retreat.

Day 2

Moremi Game Reserve

Moremi Game Reserve

Your day begins with an early wake-up call at approximately 5:30 am, followed by a light breakfast. Once you're ready, embark on your first morning game drive in this remarkable area, where the abundance of wildlife is truly astonishing. The duration of the drive varies and you'll return to the camp sometime between 10 am and 11:30 am, depending on your wildlife encounters.

Following lunch, indulge in a siesta before gearing up for the afternoon adventure, which commences after tea in the mid-afternoon, the timing varying with the season. In June and July, expect it around 3:30 pm; however, during the rest of the year, due to the heat, it's likely to be between 4 pm and 4:30 pm. Revisit the camp around dusk, where you'll savour dinner, gather around the campfire, and perhaps exchange a few stories.

As part of the morning drive, you'll also experience a motorboat cruise on the Xakanaxa Lagoon, included in the package, unless there are specific sightings you prefer not to leave behind.

Once more, you'll greet the day with an early wake-up, indulging in a light breakfast to fuel yourself for the morning's activities. The morning unfolds with your chosen pursuit, whether it be another captivating game drive or a unique adventure, and you'll reconvene for a satisfying lunch several hours later.

Upon the resumption of activities in the afternoon, you'll set out for a new exploration in an area distinct from the campsite, introducing fresh landscapes and wildlife encounters into your safari experience. However, the dynamic nature of the wildlife might lead to spontaneous decisions – if the captivating fauna is in close proximity to the campsite, a choice may be made to linger and relish the remarkable sight instead of venturing further afield.

This flexible approach ensures that your safari is finely tuned to the natural rhythms of the environment, allowing for unexpected and enchanting moments with the wildlife.
