Day 1
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.
Day 2
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.
Day 3
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.
 
Days 4 To 5
The Khwai River forms the northern border of Moremi Game Reesrve 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.
Day 6
The Savuti Plains offer world-acclaimed game viewing – including the famous Savute lion prides, leopard, wild dogs, bull elephants, black-backed jackal, bat-eared foxes, hyena, cheetah, tsessebe, kudu, impala, ostrich and much more.
 
The summer rains bring a feast for lion, hyena and cheetah, as migrating zebra and wildebeest assemble in a chaotic pattern on the marsh. Cape buffalo herds arrive and migrant birds swell the resident population of over 300 different species, making this a bird watchers delight. Carmine bee-eaters perch on the back of kori bustards, red-crested korhaans plummet from the sky in daring mating displays and marabou storks roost in the trees whilst woodland kingfishers sing you to sleep. Game drives are conducted twice a day (early morning and late afternoon) with balance of day at leisure.
Day 7
Today we continue 5-hours on the 4x4 road from Savuti, game viewing all day in Chobe National Park which extends all the way to the perennial Chobe River.
 
Chobe is uniquely situated at the confluence of the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers, where four African countries meet – Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
 
Settle into your tented camp in Botswana’s premier wildlife reserve – surrounded by vast endless landscapes, open plains, baobab trees and the abundant river-based wildlife of the Chobe River. Relax overlooking the river and enjoy a beautiful sunset in the atmosphere that only the African bushveld can provide!
Day 8
Rise at dawn to take advantage of the best game viewing conditions of the day and enjoy a thrilling open-top game viewing drive into the great Chobe National Park. This region is home to some of Botswana’s most spectacular wildlife, as well as abundant bird life.
  
Chobe is home to vast herds of buffalo and elephant, as well as numerous other species which roam in profusion and diversity. During the dry season, vast elephant herds migrate from both south and north to congregate in their thousands along the Chobe River – the largest concentration of elephants in the whole of Africa! Also hope to see lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, hippo, kudu, crocodiles, antelope, waterbuck, warthogs, baboons and many other interesting animals before returning to your lodge for breakfast.
 
The rest of the day is free to relax at camp, before enjoying a Sunset Cruise on the Chobe River. After a beautiful African sunset, enjoy the balmy evening and pristine stars of the Milky Way as you have never seen them before – as well as the spectacular Southern Cross.
Day 9
Today we transfer 15-minutes to the Chobe River ferry to Kazangula on the Zambian border.
 
After completing immigration formalities, we continue 1-hour to your hotel on the banks of the Zambezi River near the mighty Victoria Falls.
Day 10
At leisure to relax on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River near the Victoria Falls.
 
On your first afternoon, enjoy a tour to the magnificent Smoke That Thunders first discovered by Dr. David Livingstone and still one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. The flow of water over the Victoria Falls is greatest during the wet months (February to June) and are a magnificent sight.
 
Adrenalin seekers can participate in many adventure activities such as canoeing in the gentler rapids above the falls, abseiling or white water rafting in the turbulent gorge below the falls (grade 5), or watch bungi jumping from Victoria Falls Bridge!
Day 11
This morning enjoy a tour to the mighty Victoria Falls, before transferring to Livingstone Airport for your flight home.
