Camping: Okavango Delta Safari
BYN5M

You will be met at Maun Airport and enjoy a light lunch with your group, before transferring to your light aircraft flight to Moremi Game Reserve.

 

Settle into your mobile tented camp and relax in this pristine wildlife wilderness on the edge of the great Okavango Delta, with its wonderful game viewing and bird life.

 

Accommodation is in 2-person dome tents (3x3 m/2.2 m high) with camp beds, comfortable mattress & duvets, and en-suite shower with flush toilet. Tents are erected for you each day and three delicious meals provided, as well as all mineral water. South African wine is served with meals in the evening, when you dine under the stars. Any other alcohol & soft drinks to be pre-ordered and paid for locally. Luggage is strictly limited to 12kg per person in a small sports bag (large bags cannot fit on the vehicle) plus one camera bag.

The seasonal Okavango Delta is flooded annually by the great Okavango River, whose waters flow inland from Angola into the vast Kalahari – never finding the sea, but instead forming a great inland delta whose waters are absorbed by the desert.

 

Comprising 6,000 square miles of crystal clear channels, serene lagoons and a myriad of islands, the Okavango Delta forms a natural oasis that sustains a vast variety of wildlife and birds of all descriptions. The waters are at their height from July to October, forming an amazing wetlands ecosystem that is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world.

  

Activities centre on early morning and late afternoon game viewing and bird watching, with an experienced local guide. These include a mekoro excursion and a game drive to track some of the larger species that inhabit this water wilderness - including buffalo, hippo and elephants. In the evening relax around a blazing fire under balmy African skies.

Today we continue to explore the vast Moremi Game Reserve, as we travel north to the site of our next camp on the banks of the Khwai River.

 

Enjoy superb game viewing and birding all day in this amazing wildlife sanctuary, where animals migrate freely across huge distances.

The Khwai River forms the northern border of Moremi Game Reserve and the large floodplains of this area provide good grazing for many species of antelope and unobstructed seasonal movement of wildlife.

 

Rise early, with coffee and biscuits at first light, to search for predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and hyena. Also antelope such as impala, lechwe, reedbuck and tsessebe and other game such as elephant, buffalo, giraffe and zebra.

 

We return to camp for brunch, and spend the middle of the day relaxing at camp, before setting out again in the late afternoon on another game-drive.

This morning transfer to your game lodge on a private concession adjacent to Moremi Game Reserve.

 

Relax and enjoy an afternoon game drive and sundowners, to mark the end of your wonderful camping safari adventure.

Transfer 3-hours to Maun Airport for your flight home.
