Itinerary

DAY 1 | MAUN

Your safari starts today when you meet your guide plus the group who started their safari the day before in Johannesburg at our Maun Lodge at +/- 5.00pm. (Arrival Airport Transfers can be booked).

The name Maun comes from the San word ‘maung’ which translates as ‘the place of reeds’. Maun is the gateway to the Okavango Delta and Botswana’s most famous Game Reserves, National Parks and Concessions.

DAY 2-3 | OKAVANGO DELTA

In 4WD Landcruisers we drive to the the place where we will board our mekoro’s to be poled through the reed lined channels to our tented camp in the heart of the largest inland delta in the world. Wildlife from elephant to hippos, red lechwe, buffalo and numerous birds can be found in the Delta. Our local poler guides will introduce us to their big backyard as we explore the Delta by mekoro and on foot.

DAY 4 - 7 | MOREMI GAME & PRIVATE CONCESSION RESERVES

The next four days will offer some fantastic game viewing as spend the next four days on game drives. Travelling in an open 4WD Lancruiser you will get upclose to the sights and sounds of the African Bush as we watch the abundant wildlife both in Moremi and in surrounding private concession reserves.

3 nights are spent at a permanent tented bushlodge on a private concession and on Day 7 we will return to our Maun Lodge around midday.

DAY 8 | MAKGADIKGADI PANS

You will have time for an optional game flight over the Okavango Delta this morning (own expense) before we drive to Nata. The vast shimmering white salt pans of Makgadikgadi appear to be endless and offer stunning sunset views. For a short time after the rains (approx March/April) a dramatic change takes place and thousands of zebra and wildebeest migrate to the sweet nutritious grasslands that appear and clouds of flamingo feed in the algae rich waters.

DAY 9-10 | CHOBE NATIONAL PARK

The Chobe River from April to December each year attracts some of the largest herds of Elephant in Africa as they come to quench their thirst and feed on the nutritious grasses growing on low river islands. Included during our stay is a 4WD early morning game drive and the ultimate highlight of an afternoon game viewing cruise.

DAY 11-12 | VICTORIA FALLS

Farewell Botswana and cross the border to Zimbabwe. We will explore on foot Mosi oa Tunya ‘the smoke that thunders’ Victoria Falls and the surrounding rain forest. There is a free day for you to relax or join in the fun on one of the many adventure activities on offer (own expense).
