DAY
1
(Day
1-2: Okavango Delta). The Safari normally
starts on a Wednesday with a scenic flight
by light aircraft to our camp in the Okavango
Delta. This segment of the safari is in complete
contrast to the rest of the safari, as we
explore papyrus-fringed channels, lily-covered
lagoons and forested islands. Transport is
by mokoro (dug-out canoe) punted by BaYei
boatmen. The elusive Sitatunga, Buffalo and
the beautiful Red Lechwe may be encountered,
along with all the Okavango's big game. Here,
at our secluded campsite under a profusion
of stars, one may enjoy the tranquillity of
the Delta night punctuated by the calls of
Owls and Nightjars and the distant grunting
of a hippo and roars of Lion.

(Days
3 - 5: Moremi and the eastern Okavango). Fly
back to Maun where we travel by road to the
eastern reaches of the Okavango. Our campsite
is in the Moremi, one of the Botswana's most
scenic parks. The Okavango is made up of many
slow-moving waterways that contrast with the
dry Savute grasslands. Time is spent traversing
the woodlands in search of Wild Dog, Leopard,
Lion and colourful birds such as Meyer's Parrot
and Wattled Crane.

Victoria
Falls. We depart our camp at Chobe at for
the famous Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, some
85km away for a night at Ilala Lodge. There
are a variety of optional activities in the
area. For those wanting to do white water
rafting, a full day is needed and would require
an additional night in the Vic falls after
the Safari.

breakfast and seeing the sights of Vic Falls,
you will be transferred to Vic Falls Airport
where this safari ends.
