Itinerary

Day 1      Maun / Moremi Wildlife Reserve

After clearing customs and immigration formalities in Maun, you will be met and transferred to your charter flight. This will take you into Moremi, where you will be met by your guide for a short transfer to the pre-erected, comfortable, secluded bush camp. A light lunch will be provided at a local restaurant. After a sunset game drive and a delicious three-course dinner in camp, you will be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the African night.
    
Meals: Lunch, Dinner    

Day 2      Okavango Delta (Moremi Wildlife Reserve)

One of the most exciting areas in Botswana is the Okavango Delta. Instead of flowing to the sea, the Okavango River fans inland, forming a seasonal network of islands, lagoons, and waterways flowing eventually into the Kalahari desert, where the water evaporates. Located in the northeastern corner of the Delta, Moremi Wildlife Reserve provides a pure immersion in a wilderness of great beauty, rich green vegetation, and palm trees that teem with bird life and a vast population of animals. You will have the opportunity to view lions, leopards, hyenas, jackals, and giraffe, as well as other species and smaller game during your early morning and late afternoon game drives.
    
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner    

Day 3 - 4      Khwai area of Moremi

As you leave for your early morning game drive, the safari crew moves the camp to another area of the Moremi Reserve, the location of which varies depending on seasonal migration of game and water levels. The Moremi Wildlife Reserve was set aside in 1968 by an initiative of the Tawane tribe, and its 3,000 square kilometers encompass the most wildlife-rich part of the Okavango Delta. The reserve itself has no permanent structures, only reed chalets or tented sites, and is considered by many to be Africa’s finest game park. Spend the next two days enjoying game drives and overnights in the reserve, searching for the many species of animal and birdlife that make Moremi their home.
    
Meals: 2 Breakfast, 2 Lunch, 2 Dinner    

Day 5 - 6      Savute and Chobe National Park

The Savute Marsh is the deepest part of the Mababe Depression, a remnant of a large lake that once covered much of northern Botswana. It is the only part to have filled with water in recent history. The depression takes in most of Chobe National Park, including the Savute region. Today, the marsh is dry and attracts a large population of animals, particularly hyenas and lions. The Savute channel has a fascinating history of flooding and drying up independently of good, rainy seasons and flood levels elsewhere, a mystery that has intrigued geologists for many years. Spend your days on exciting game drives in the morning and late afternoon.
    
Meals: 2 Breakfast, 2 Lunch, 2 Dinner    

Day 7 - 8      Chobe River / Chobe National Park

After two nights at the Savute Channel, you will travel north to a bush camp near the Chobe River, which runs along the border between Botswana and Namibia. As far as wildlife is concerned, the Chobe riverfront is the park’s most densely inhabited area. Here you will find many of the 73,000 elephants that call Chobe National Park home. You will also have an excellent chance of observing lions and cheetahs, and, by day, the water is full of hippos that enter the water at dawn and emerge at dusk. Buffaloes are present in the thousands, as well as giraffes and zebras. Besides the many endemic antelope species, other residents include jackals, warthogs, brown and spotted hyenas, baboons, and cape clawless otters.
    
Meals: 2x Breakfast, 2x Lunch, 2x Dinner    

Day 9      Livingstone, Zambia / Victoria Falls

Your safari culminates at Victoria Falls, known as Mosi-oe-Tunya, or “the smoke that thunders,” which is without a doubt one of the greatest and most unforgettable spectacles on earth. Over half a million cubic meters of water plummet over the edge every minute, a number that rises to five million cubic meters per minute during the flood season from March to May. You will have time to enjoy the many optional activities available, including scenic flights, microlighting (basically, a hang-glider with a motor), elephant riding and a visit to the falls, just to name a few. (Activities are at own expense.) Overnight at the Natural Mystic Lodge (or similar).
    
Meals: Breakfast
Lodging: Natural Mystic Lodge (or similar)

After breakfast our safari ends with a tour to Victoria Falls.  You will then be transferred to the airport for your onward flight.
