8 days/7 nights
Tented Camps and Lodges
Days 1/2
Chobe National Park
Fly by light aircraft to the beautiful Savute Safari Lodge, whose 12 timber-and-thatch chalets sit very close to the ephemeral Savute Channel, a lifeline for animals especially during the dry season, and host to the epic zebra migration after the summer rains. Inspect ancient San rock paintings and enjoy incredible wildlife viewing opportunities in this remote wilderness.
Days 3/4
Okavango Delta
Head south-west to the untouched watery paradise that is the Okavango Delta, where delightful Camp Okavango awaits. Your indulgent tented suite is surrounded by water all year round, so safaris here are mostly by motorboat and mokoro (traditional dugout canoe), with opportunities to explore sandy secluded islands on foot.
Days 5-7
Moremi Game Reserve
Travel by air to the truly authentic Camp Moremi, set at the edge of a lagoon in the big cat-rich Moremi Game Reserve. With its diverse setting comprised of forest, grasslands and floodplains, this rustic, romantic property allows for a wonderful combination of land and water-based gameviewing activities.
