Botswana Deltas & Rivers

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 and secluded bush camp. A light lunch will be provided at a local restaurant. After a sunset game drive and a delicious three-course dinner, you will enjoy the sounds of the African night.

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 network of islands, lagoons and waterways flowing eventually into the Kalahari desert, where the water evaporates. Located in the northeastern corner of the Delta, the area provides a pure immersion into a wilderness of great beauty, rich green vegetation and palm trees, which teems 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.

As you leave for your early morning game drive, the safari crew moves the camp to another area of the Moremi Reserve, depending on the seasonal migration of the game. The Moremi Wildlife Reserve was set aside in 1968 by an initiative of the Tawane tribe. The park's 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.

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.

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 submerge 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.

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 one half 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, micro lighting, elephant back 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).

After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airport for your onward flight.
