Botswana - Featured Trips

This small group adventure safari starts in Maun and ends in Livingstone, Zambia. It explores the fascinating Okavango Delta water system and passes through some of the best wilderness areas of Botswana, ending at the world renowned Victoria Falls. Max group size of 12 people per safari.

Your adventure will take you in a north westerly direction from Maun to the western side of the Okavango Delta, a special corner of paradise. Once you have reached the edge of the Delta, you will transfer your equipment to motorboats and cruise along the narrow papyrus-lined channels enjoying the exquisite birdlife of the region as well as the stunning landscape. Deeper in the Delta you will meet the local polers with their mokoro (a traditional dugout canoe) and enjoy a tranquil transfer to an island. You will spend two days exploring this beautiful area on mokoro excursions and taking guided walks on the islands and floodplains of the Okavango. Overnight camping with bush ablutions, all meals included (BLD).

Inspired by the beauty of the Okavango, you will retrace your route to Maun. You will have the option of taking a scenic flight over the Delta to return to Maun (rates on request). This magical experience provides another perspective of the Okavango Delta's unique water system and if you choose to take the flight, you will enjoy a leisurely afternoon in the Delta campsite writing postcards or reading a book while you wait for your afternoon flight. Your guide will travel back to Maun with the vehicle to resupply for the next stage of your adventure. After collecting you at the airport, you will shop for drinks and then continue to your campsite just outside Maun. Overnight camping with permanent ablution facilities, including all meals (BLD).

From Maun you will drive through to Moremi Game Reserve, one of the best wilderness areas of Botswana which covers swamp and dry areas. The next three days will be spent searching for the wide variety of wildlife and birds that this area is renowned for while absorbing the sounds and beauty of this region. Game drives in the early morning as the sun rises and in the late afternoon as the sun sets will be the norm. After your morning game drive you will return to camp for lunch and a siesta. On Day 7 you will move campsites to explore a different area of this diverse park. Overnight camping in private designated campsites with bush ablutions, all meals included (BLD).

Chobe National Park, with its diverse and striking landscapes, will be your next destination.
