Trip Itinerary

Day 1-2 - Maun

 
Maun, Okavango Delta.

From Maun we transfer by small planes into the heart of the delta.

Safari

Here we take out "mokoro" (dugout canoes) to explore the crystal clear channels, islands and waterways, and undertake game viewing walks on the islands.

Camping

Our two overnights are spent at our Afro Ventures campsite in a private concession area, with a complement of camp staff to cater for you.


Day 3-4 - Maun

 
Moremi Game Reserve.
Private Jet

We negotiate the sandy tracks to Moremi - tucked into the north-eastern sector of the Okavango. The reserve was set aside in 1963 by the Batawana tribe, and is rated as Africa’s most beautiful wildlife sanctuary. Our days are spent on extensive game viewing drives.

Day 5-8 - Savuti

 
Chobe National Park.

We travel up to Savute and spend two nights camped next to the dry Savute Channel.

Safari

From November to July huge animal concentrations are attracted to this area, and Savute is excellent for lion and other predator viewing.

Safari

From Savute we move up to northern Chobe and camp for two nights at Serondela on the Chobe river. This is the heart of elephant country and here we have an opportunity to spend many hours watching the huge herds in and around the waters of the Chobe River. Northern Chobe has beautiful scenery and magnificent sunsets, with a large variety of bird and animal life.

At certain times of the year we may overnight at different areas of Chobe National Park. Camping in Chobe National Park.
