Itinerary

DAY 1: VICTORIA FALLS
Meet your representative at the airport on arrival and transfer to Matetsi Water Lodge and spend the night at the Lodge in twin-bedded rooms with private facilities on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis.

DAYS 2, 3, 4 & 5: CHOBE NATIONAL PARK
Visit the spectacular Victoria Falls – known by the locals as ‘Mosi-oa-tunya’ (The Smoke that Thunders) – one of the world’s most awe-inspiring Natural Wonders (a guided tour of the Falls is included in the safari fare). It is a short drive from Victoria Falls to Chobe National Park in Botswana where you will camp for two nights in the Serondela area of northern Chobe. This is the heart of elephant country and you will be able to spend many hours watching the huge herds in and around the waters of the Chobe River. Northern Chobe is renowned for its large variety of bird and animal life, beautiful scenery and magnificent sunsets. From northern Chobe, travel southwest to Savute where you will spend two overnights camping next to the dry Savute Channel. Savute is excellent for lion and other predator viewing, and, depending on the time of the year, huge animal concentrations are attracted to this area.

DAYS 6 & 7: MOREMI WILDLIFE RESERVE
Continue to Moremi Wildlife Reserve, tucked into the northeastern 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. Spend your days enjoying extensive game-drives, and two overnights camping in the Reserve.

DAYS 8 & 9: OKAVANGO DELTA
Travel by charter from Khwai (North Gate region of Moremi Wildlife Reserve) into the heart of the Okavango Delta. Explore the crystal-clear channels, islands and waterways by mekoro (dug-out canoe), and enjoy game-viewing walks on the islands. Spend two overnights at a campsite in a private concession area.

DAY 10: SAFARI TERMINATES
After breakfast, you will transfer to Maun by charter aircraft where your safari terminates.
