Description
Day 1: Kasane to Chobe National Park
Before heading to Chobe National Park, you'll arrive in Kasane to meet your safari guide. After a leisurely game drive, you will arrive at your designated campsite where the rest of the safari team will welcome you to your home for the next 2 nights.
You'll have time to relax, before heading out for an afternoon game drive through the beautiful scenery of this part of Chobe National Park. Wildlife viewing will focus on the Chobe Riverfront area where the greatest concentrations of wildlife gather. Highlights include lions, leopards, cheetahs, African wild dogs, elephants, buffalos, hippos, crocodiles, impalas, kudu, sable antelopes, bushbucks, blue wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, and warthogs.
Day 2: Chobe National Park
An early start, as you set off for a morning of wildlife viewing along the banks of the Chobe River, before returning to the camp for brunch. Vast numbers of game are drawn to the river's cool waters and each day you drive out not knowing what you might see. This is also an ideal time to track predators while they are most active. In the afternoon, you will enjoy a sunset boat cruise. Elephant and buffalo are in large herds along the Chobe River. Birding is exceptional —bee-eaters, fish eagles, waders, and many more water birds frequent the riverfront area.
Day 3: Chobe National Park to Savuti
This morning, you will depart the Chobe Riverfront area and head southwest to Savuti, through the heart of Chobe National Park. The drive will be at a leisurely pace, allowing you plenty of time to stop and view wildlife along the way.
Upon arrival, you will find your designated camp set up and ready. Dinner will be freshly prepared and enjoyed around a roaring campfire under the African sky.
Day 4 & 5: Savuti
On both days, you will continue your game drives and make your way to several places of interest within the Savuti area. As you continue your search for wildlife, you will traverse the drier region of Savuti where bull elephants dot the plains.
Day 6: Savuti to Khwai Concession
Your journey continues south, as you leave Savuti and travel into the Okavango region. Your destination is Khwai Concession, located just outside the northeastern boundaries of the Moremi Game Reserve.
Here, you’ll enjoy great wildlife viewing, including night game drives, as animals gather around various watering holes and the Khwai River.
Day 7 & 8: Khwai Concession
You will continue your game drives along the banks of the Khwai River where you will get even closer to nature and have the opportunity to learn more about the flora and fauna of this region.
Day 9: Khwai Concession to Maun
You'll set off early this morning, enjoying a game drive as you depart Khwai Concession and continue to Maun. On arrival, you will be dropped off at Maun International Airport to catch your flight to your next destination.
