Itinerary

Day 1: Mosi Discoverer Camp, Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park
On arrival in Livingstone you will be met by a Wilderness Safaris representative and transferred directly for a guided tour of Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. At 1708 meters wide, it is the largest curtain of water in the world and drops more than 100 meters into the sheer Zambezi gorge. Victoria Falls are one of Africa’s major tourist attractions and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This evening, you will stay at Mosi Discoverer Camp situated in the eastern sector of the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, a short distance upstream from Victoria Falls.
Days 2, 3 and 4: Chobe River cruise and Linyanti Adventurer Camp, Linyanti/Chobe
After a full breakfast, leave Zambia and enter the Chobe National Park in Botswana by way of the Kazungula border, a point where the four countries of Botswana, Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe meet. The Chobe National Park is famous for its vast herds of elephants and unique species such as the elusive puku and Chobe bushbuck that move to the river during the hottest hours of the day. Enjoy a light lunch served during the boat cruise on the catamaran-style shaded boat, after which you depart by aircraft in the late afternoon for the Linyanti region. From the airstrip game driving to the pre-erected Adventurer campsite. The north-eastern corner of the Linyanti is famed for its myriad of changing landscapes with sweeping views, from riverine to savannah and from forest to plains. On one of the full days, depart on an early morning activity. Lunch is enjoyed at a scenic spot with a sweeping view of the Linyanti waterways. After a siesta in hammocks, there is the possibility of an afternoon canoe trip, before returning to camp at dusk. (The canoe activity is not always possible, depending on local hippo movements within the area.) The Linyanti region’s life-giving perennial waters attract herds of wildlife that walk well-worn game paths to slake their thirst in the dry season. Predators follow in their footsteps and, coupled with the area’s diversity of habitat, make for exciting game viewing.

Days 5 and 6: Khwai Adventure Camp, Okavango Delta
After breakfast, drive to the airstrip for light aircraft transfer to Khwai Adventure Camp located in a private concession just north of the Khwai River above the Moremi Game Reserve. The Khwai Concession is one of the most diverse areas in northern Botswana which seldom disappoints when it comes to producing extraordinary wildlife experiences. The life source for this area is the Khwai River - the northernmost "finger" of the Okavango Delta alluvial fan, which provides vital sustenance to numerous animals. Over time, the Khwai area has metamorphosed into a wide range of exciting wildlife habitats - some of the most varied to be found in the entire Okavango Delta: a blend of forests, floodplain, wetland and grasslands. The narrow Khwai Channel is home to large mammals such as hippo and crocodile with buffalo and red lechwe often seen grazing along the fringe. The beautiful gallery riverine woodland found along the river provides further sanctuary to birds, primates and leopard. Elusive roan antelope often come to the river to drink. Activities focus around day and night game drives, nature walks and seasonal mokoro excursions. Away from the river there is a wonderful mix of acacia and leadwood trees of varying sizes that abuts into mopane woodland. The latter, together with the permanent presence of water, attracts large numbers of elephant to the area. Larger predators include lion, wild dog and spotted hyena, while birdlife found here is just as varied thanks to the colorful palette of habitats.

Days 7, 8 and 9: Xigera Mokoro Trails, Okavango Delta

Fly by light aircraft to the water-filled paradise of the remote Xigera area, within the Moremi Game Reserve. Xigera is the ultimate Okavango Delta experience, with serene waters flowing through innumerable channels around remote islands and a profusion of plant and animals. There is no better way to experience the Okavango than to travel by mokoro (dug out canoe), walking and camping out on a vegetated island – all essential elements of Xigera Mokoro Trails. Activities enable up-close encounters with an excellent diversity of birdlife (including Pel’s fishing-owl) and game species, some specially adapted to water, such as the red lechwe. Walking activities vary in length and duration depending on the season, especially in the months when the Okavango is at peak flood (June, July and August) where walks become shorter as more islands are flooded.

Day 10: Transfer to Maun Airport

Transfer by light aircraft to Maun Airport and bid farewell to the adventure.
