Botswana’s Wildlife Wonders
Itinerary
Fly to Maun, via Johannesburg
Fly overnight from London to Maun, via Johannesburg. (N)
Fly to Makgadikgadi National Park
Early afternoon arrival in Maun, followed by an onward scenic flight to the Makgadikgadi National Park. Stay for 2 nights* at Leroo La Tau Lodge, which overlooks the Boteti River Valley and offers abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. (L, D)
*Add an additional night stay and enjoy a unique experience with a sleep out under the stars on the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans (15 June to 31 Oct – weather dependent). Please enquire for further details and supplements.
Makgadikgadi National Park
A full day of included safari activities. These may include game drives and boat trips (when water conditions allow) to spot lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, zebras and wildebeest along the course of the Boteti river. (B, L, D)
Fly to the Okavango Delta
Take a light aircraft flight to the Okavango Delta, where you will stay 2 nights at Camp Okavango, located on the remote Nxaragha Island, or Xugana Island Lodge. Both properties offers superb year-round, water-based safari experiences. (B, L, D)
Okavango Delta
The magnificent Okavango Delta, one of Unesco’s newest world heritage sites, is the Earth’s largest inland delta and its labyrinth of lagoons, lakes and channels is home to a huge collection of varied wildlife. Travel by motorboat or mokoro (canoe) to track animals such as elephants, rhinos, giraffes, hippos and lions. Birdwatching, bush walks and fishing are also possible during your stay. (B, L, D)
Fly to Chobe National Park – Savute
Enjoy another scenic flight, this time to Chobe National Park, for a 2-night stay at the Savute Safari Lodge, which arguably offers Botswana’s best game viewing experiences. (B, L, D)
Chobe National Park – Savute
A day of land-based safari activities. The Savute region sees the second largest zebra migration in Africa: Between November and December, and again between February and April, huge numbers of the striped equids – along with their eager predators – can be found here. Wildlife sightings are strong year round however. It is also possible to visit the Gubatsa Hills, home to a number of ancient San rock paintings. (B, L, D)
Fly to Kasane • Chobe Game Lodge
Fly north to Kasane and transfer to the Chobe Game Lodge for a 2-night stay. Although technically still within the borders of Chobe National Park, the lodge’s location near the Chobe river means it offers a distinctly different experience to Savute. (B, L, D)
Chobe Game Lodge
With a fleet of almost silent electric powered 4×4 vehicles and boats, Chobe Game Lodge offers guests game viewing experiences without disturbing the wildlife. This often means closer encounters and more natural behaviour being observed. You are free to choose as many or as few activities today as you wish. (B, L, D)
Fly home via Johannesburg
Transfer to Kasane airport and fly to the UK, via Johannesburg. (B)
Alternatively, extend with a 3-night stay at Victoria Falls. Blend some relaxation time with the chance to see the spectacular waterfalls. Please enquire for details.
