TOUR DESCRIPTION AND BREAK-DOWN:

Day 1: Arrive Kasane (*D) Own Dinner- Camping

Arriving at the Chobe Safari Lodge at 12pm you will be briefed by our experienced team and meet your fellow travelers on this adventure of a lifetime. If you like you can enjoy an ice cold beer on a sunset cruise down the Chobe River (A highly recommended optional activity). The evening will be passed camping along the shores of the mighty Chobe River. For an excellent meal visit the Chobe Lodge restaurant (at your own expense).

Day 2: Chobe National Park 85 km (B.L.D) Camping

Rising with the African sun we will begin the day with a game drive seeking out the wildlife that abounds in the Chobe National Park. We set up camp deep in the park for an exciting overnight wildlife experience.

Day 3: Chobe National Park – Savuti 100 Km (B.L.D) Camping

What better way to start the day then with a cup steaming cup of coffee in hand while watching the majestic sunrise over the Chobe flood plains. Our journey will take us through the Savuti region, passing through local villages always on the lookout for the wildlife that flourishes within the Chobe Park. Thousands of years ago the San Bushman inhabited these lands and the rock art that abounds in this area is a testament to the ingenuity, creativeness and intelligence of the San.

Day 4, 5: Moremi Game Reserve (B.L.D) Camping

The Moremi reserve lies in the heart of the Okavango delta surrounded by criss-crossing waterways, marshes, swamps and forests. This unique terrain draws large amounts of wildlife and is hence one of the premier game viewing sites in Botswana. We will camp here for two days.

Day 6: Maun (B.L.*) Camping Own Dinner

Making the most of the day we rise with the sun and head for the South gate of the Moremi Reserve. For those who wish to capture a birds eyes view of the Okavango River there is the option of taking a flight over the river.

Day 7/8: Okavango Delta (B.L.D) Camping

After a hearty breakfast we will load our equipment onto a dugout canoe and depart into the Okavango Delta on a Mokoro Safari. Sit back and relax while your guide expertly navigates the canoe through the myriad waterways of the Delta. You will be fortunate enough to camp for two nights on an island in the heart of the delta, taking in the sights, sounds, thrills and game that abound in the Delta.

Day 9 Maun, depart (B)

Your polers will pole you along back to the poling station where your transfer back to Maun will be waiting for you. Your safari will end on arrival in Maun.
