Botswana Desert & Delta Safari

Africa|Botswana
Detailed Itinerary


Day 1, 2 – Makgadikgadi National Park, 2 nights Leroo La Tau Camp. Fully Inclusive
Your welcome to Africa begins at Johannesburg International Airport where you´ll be assisted to connect with a scheduled flight to Maun. On arrival, you’ll be met by your pilot for a light aircraft transfer to the Makgadikgadi National Park.
On arrival at the airstrip, you’ll be transferred to Leroo La Tau. The camp is built on cliffs over 15metres high above the Boteti arid riverbed, thus ensuring unsurpassed views of the desert and it’s inhabitants. In the dry season wildlife concentrates around the water hole in front of the lodge and during the wet season, this vast area of salt pans interspersed with low-lying grass islands is the destination of herds of migrating Zebra.  Activities include twice daily thrilling game drives, hides and walks.

Day 3, 4 – Chobe National Park. 2 nights, Savute Safari Lodge. Fully Inclusive
Another light aircraft transfer will take you to Savute Safari Lodge. Unobtrusive and discrete, this lodge peers out from ancient camelthorn trees on the banks of the dry Savute channel like a curious but cautious traveller spying on the herds of elephant and lion prides which populate the dynamic Savute eco system.
Vast technicolour sunsets, summer zebra migrations and all-action predators such as wild dogs provide guests with awesome spectacles without leaving the camp. Guided game drives offer further highlights.
Game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles are conducted in the Savute area, including the Savute Marsh, and a visit to the ancient San rock paintings at Gubatsa Hills.

Day 5, 6 – Okavango Delta. 2 nights, Xugana Island Camp. Fully Inclusive
After breakfast, take a scenic light aircraft flight to the Xugana Island Camp, set on the edge of the beautiful Xugana Lagoon known as the most spectacular permanent water site in the entire Okavango Delta, which in the midst of the Kalahari sands, is Africa`s largest and most awe-inspiring oasis.
Exploring the Delta by motorboat or mokoro, combined with walking on surrounding islands in the concession, gives guests the chance to experience a classic Okavango Delta safari. Bird-watching opportunities are outstanding, and fishing for bream and tiger fish is also offered as an activity at the lodge.

Day 7, 8 – Moremi Wildlife Reserve. 2 nights, Camp Moremi. Fully Inclusive
Today, take a speed boat transfer to Camp Moremi located in the Xaxanaka Region of Moremi Wildlife Reserve, which covers an area of about 4,871 km², as the eastern segment of the Okavango Delta. Moremi combines mopane woodland and acacia forests, floodplains and lagoons and has a vast variety of plant, bird and animal life, creating one of the most magnificent and welcoming wildlife sanctuaries in all of Africa.
Track big game on morning and afternoon game drives by open 4x4 safari vehicle in the Moremi Wildlife Reserve, renowned for frequent sightings of lion, leopard & cheetah, as well as wild dog, whose numbers are so rapidly dwindling in other areas. Other game seen in the area are hyena, hippo and the full range of antelope, large and small, including the red lechwe. Alternatively, explore the Xakanaxa Lagoon and surrounding Okavango channels by motorboat. Before returning to the lodge on your afternoon activity, enjoy sundowners with views of Botswana’s breathtaking sunsets.

Day 9 – Departure
After breakfast and farewells you’ll be transferred by light aircraft to Maun to connect with scheduled flight back to Johannesburg in time for international flight connections.
