ITINERARY
Day 1 & 2 Kasane
This adventure begins on the banks of the Chobe River, in the Botswana town of Kasane. Our first two nights of this adventure will be on the edge of the river at the Magnificent Chobe Safari Lodge, where we will enjoy a spectacular boat cruise on the game rich Chobe River.
Day 3 & 4 EASTERN CAPRIVI
Heading west from Chobe', we make our way to another wild area that beautifully mirrors the Okavango wetlands with an edge that is distinctly “Namibian” - Mamili, experiencing unspoilt views of the Linyanti Wetlands and its abundant wildlife and birdlife.
Day 5 & 6 WESTERN CAPRIVI
Journeying still west through the Caprivi Strip, we head into the Kavango region. The Kavango river, which flows from Angola, brings life-giving water and minerals to the Okavango Delta. We will camp on the banks of the Kavango River.
Day 7 & 8 Okavango Delta
Heading south from Ngepi, we cross the border into Botswana and journey around the western fringe of the delta to a camp right on the edge of this incredible wetland itself. Boat rides and fishing are on offer here. The birdlife is amazing in this part of the country.
Day 9 Maun
The gateway to the Okavango Delta, Maun, is ideally situated as a stopover point before the adventure gets wild! A night in a chalet and plenty of time to stock up for the next few days as we will be heading from here to very remote campsites in the bush.
Day 10 - 12 Khwai Community Reserve
Adjacent to the Moremi Game Reserve, the woodlands and wetland of Khwai provides game viewing which is just sublime. Camps are wild and unfenced and elephants abound and wild dogs are often seen on tours to this area.
Day 13 & 14 Savuti
We drive through Chobe National Park to reach Savuti. The sand is thick and going is tough, but the big drive is worth it! Savuti is known for its unbeatable predator viewing along with the usual large herds of Elephant and other numerous general game. Expect roaring lions at night!
Day 15 Kasane
We’re back in the Kasane area, but this time after restocking for the night, we head out of town to a bush camp on the edge of the Zimbabwe border for one more night of wild camping in the Botswana bush.
Day 16 & 17 Victoria Falls
Today we leave Botswana and enter Zimbabwe for our last 2 nights of this adventure at the very special town of Victoria Falls. There is so much to do in this safari town and our last evening is spent with a special cruise on the Zambezi River itself.
Day 18 Departure
Connecting flights back to major international airports in South Africa can be made from Victoria Falls. Alternatively, onward travel to other safari destinations is easily arranged from here.
