Day 1 -2: Chobe Under Canvas
On arrival at Kasane Airport you will be warmly welcomed by the Camp Representative, who will drive you to the Chobe Under Canvas. Located in the north of Botswana, with the Chobe River forming the country’s northern border, Chobe National Park is flanked in the south west by the Okavango Delta and the Moremi Game Reserve. Towards the south of the Chobe River lie flat floodplains that form a broad sweep of open grassland and woodland. A myriad pans and waterholes dot the plains. The Chobe River and its floodplains provide an irresistible attraction for wildlife, which congregates there during the dry season. Vast herds of elephant abound, with between 500 and 5 000 elephants frequently seen on the floodplains.
Spend two nights at Chobe Under Canvas in a comfortable and spacious mobile tent with ensuite bathroom.
Day 3 – 4: Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp
Your next camp is a quick charter hop to Nxabega. A maze of sparkling lagoons, meandering channels and overgrown islands teeming with wildlife, Botswana’s Okavango Delta lies like a sparkling jewel at the heart of the Kalahari Desert. Known as “the river that never finds the sea”, its crystal-clear channels spread over the thirst-lands of the Kalahari with their papyrus-fringed banks and fertile floating islands.
Adapted for a life in and out of water, the elegant red lechwe and shy sitatunga are found in this watery wilderness. Lion, cheetah, leopard and African wild dog share the floodplains with large herds of elephant and buffalo. Hippo inhabit the deeper channels and lagoons, while honey badgers can be seen in broad daylight. Tall termite mounds are homes for families of dwarf and banded mongoose.
Accommodation is in an East African-style luxury safari tents, raised on a wooden platform with a private veranda overlooking a floodplain. Each tent has its own en-suite and private outdoor shower.
Day 5 – 7: Xudum Okavango Delta Lodge
For your last stay, we go deeper in to the Delta for three nights at a Delta Lodge. Accommodation is in crafted safari suite in handsome tones of chocolate and ebony, which features a large bathtub and romantic al fresco shower. Each suite boasts a lofty hide out with magnificent views.
Day 8: Departure
After a mouth-watering breakfast, we wave a fond farewell as you board your light aircraft for your transfer back to Maun International Airport
“Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been there, you will never be the same. But how do you begin to describe its magic to someone who has never felt it? “ Brian Jackman (freelance writer)
