Maun - Tour Starts

You will meet up with the group at 5:00 pm at the camp (Audi camp). Situated on the banks of the Thamalakane River, Maun is a bustling frontier town where you will prepare for the delta excursion. After setting up camp, you'll have a relaxing afternoon at the swimming pool.

An essential part of your safari is some participation. From putting up your tent to packing the truck in the morning – it’s all part of your adventure and when everyone puts in a little effort, the trip will run smoothly. Your tour leaders will do all the meal preparation but we ask you to help (on rotation) with the washing up.

Okavango Delta

Our local guides will take you deep into the heart of the Okavango Delta on a mokoro (dugout canoes). The delta forms as water flows from the Angolan highlands out over the Botswanan flat Kalahari Desert sands creating a delicate, green oasis for birds and wildlife. You will camp wild on remote islands in this amazingly dynamic environment and enjoy bush walks, bird watching and swimming in the clear water. Camping with our local guides, you'll learn more about their lifestyle and culture. You'll return to Maun in the late afternoon of day 5 and have time for an optional (own-expense) game flight over the Okavango, which will reveal a different aspect of the delta.

Note: Dinner on day 4 is an own-expense meal at the local restaurant.

Moremi Game Reserve and Savuti

You will have 4 nights in these conservation areas with time to explore the various habitats. You will spend your time on game drives watching the plentiful wildlife including wild dogs, elephants, hippos, buffalos, lions, and other game.

Moremi Game Reserve rates as one of the leading wildlife areas of the world and we take our open 4WD vehicle into Moremi for fantastic game viewing! Grasslands, floodplains, forests, lily lagoons, and winding water channels combine to form a variety of game-viewing habitats.

Moving north over the sand ridge and into the Mababe depression, you'll arrive at the Savuti Marsh. This open grassland area attracts herds of zebras and wildebeests, which in turn draw the large lion pride for which Savuti is famous. You'l camp wild in the central Chobe National Park at either Savuti or Zwei-Zwei.
