• day 1

  Moremi Game Reserve / Khwai

  Upon your arrival at Maun airport, you will be greeted by our representative, who will assist you with your light aircraft flight to Khwai camp, Machaba camp, or a similar camp of your choice in the Moremi reserve. The Moremi Game Reserve has the most diverse habitat and animal populations in Botswana. The landscape is made up of a stunning combination of forests, lagoons, floodplains, and islands. The large mopane forests and extensive floodplains, lined with majestic palm trees, make Moremi one of the most picturesque wildlife reserves. The combination of habitats makes Moremi the ideal place to combine typical savannah game viewing, walks, cruises along the lagoons and channels, as well as bird watching. Spend two nights at the camp in Moremi, where all meals, tea, coffee, daily safaris, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are included, except for premium brands, champagne, etc.

• day 3

  Okavango Delta

  After breakfast, flight to the Okavango Delta or to the lodge of your choice. The Okavango Delta is the largest inland delta in the world and is often considered a miracle of nature. A labyrinth of sparkling lagoons, winding channels, and islands teeming with wildlife, Botswana's Okavango Delta is a glittering jewel in the heart of the Kalahari Desert. Known as the river that never finds the sea, the delta's crystal-clear channels stretch across the thirsty lands of the Kalahari, with their papyrus-lined banks and fertile floating islands. Guided excursions in a dugout canoe (mokoro) take you to the heart of the delta, on foot, by boat, or in a local canoe. Your accommodation is in Moremi crossing camps, with en suite facilities. Spend two nights at the camp in the Okavango Delta, where all meals, tea, coffee, daily safaris, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are included, except for premium brands, certain champagnes, etc.

• day 5

  Savuti Marsh / Selinda

  After breakfast, flight to Savuti at Ghoha Hills or to the lodge of your choice. Savuti Marsh is renowned for lion and other predator sightings. The landscape around Savute is strikingly beautiful. The Mopane forest gives way to acacia savannah with rocky outcrops. The mysterious Savute Channel, which periodically dries up, has recently started flowing again for the first time in over two decades and has proven to be an irresistible attraction for a high concentration of wildlife. During your stay, you will have the opportunity to embark on a series of exciting walks in this game-rich area. Keep your binoculars ready for the annual zebra migration (an impressive spectacle), as well as for other plains animals such as buffalo, giraffe, tsessebe, and kudu. Savute is also recognized as a famous battleground for lions and spotted hyenas, so keep your camera ready for the possibility of one of these encounters. The massive baobabs that stand majestically also offer exceptional photographic opportunities. Spend two nights at the camp in the Okavango Delta, where all meals, tea, coffee, daily safaris, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are included, except for premium brands, certain champagnes, etc.

  Kasane / Chobe

  After breakfast, you will take a flight to Kasane airport. Our representative will welcome you and take you to Chobe Bush Lodge, or the lodge of your choice, located in northern Botswana. The Chobe River forms the northern border of the country. Chobe National Park is flanked to the southwest by the Okavango Delta and the Moremi Game Reserve. To the south of the Chobe River are flat floodplains that form a vast expanse of open grasslands and forests. A myriad of ponds and waterholes dot the plains. The Chobe River and its floodplains are an irresistible attraction for wildlife, which gathers there during the dry season. Large herds of elephants abound, with between 500 and 5,000 elephants frequently seen on the floodplains. Watching elephant families drink and bathe in the river is an unforgettable sight, made all the more impressive by the presence of buffalo herds, groups of hippos, and giant Nile crocodiles as part of the scene. Lion and spotted hyena are frequently seen on the floodplains, where red lechwe, puku, zebra, and roan antelope come to graze. Spend one night at Chobe Bush Lodge on a half-board basis (dinner and breakfast). Accommodation is in modern, luxurious rooms with private bathrooms. Sunset boat cruise.

• day 8

  Victoria Falls

  After breakfast, you will be driven to Victoria Falls, in neighboring Zimbabwe, passing through customs and immigration en route. Arrival at Victoria Falls. The small town of Victoria Falls claims the title of Africa's Adrenaline Capital, combining its spectacular scenery with a seemingly endless variety of adventure sports, ranging from bungee jumping to canoeing and white-water rafting. Our driver-guide will take you directly to the entrance of the rainforest (entry fee of $30 to be paid directly on site). Two hours of walking in the nature reserve are planned, where your guide will be waiting for you and will take you to lunch at the Victoria Falls Hotel, lunch with guests. You will resume the visit at 2 p.m., visit the David Livingstone Tree, and you can also book other activities. Our team will be happy to help you make your reservations. Victoria Falls is a huge curtain of water that plunges over steep cliffs into the dizzying drop of Batoka Falls. Shrouded in legend, romance, and myth, long before the Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone "discovered" the falls in 1855, the Batonga people called them Mosi-oa-Tunya, "the smoke that thunders." In addition to its exceptional scenery, Victoria Falls has a rich historical heritage, including the historic Victoria Falls Bridge, commissioned by Cecil John Rhodes as part of his dream to build a railway across Africa, from Cape to Cairo. Spend two nights at Elephant Hills, Ilala Lodge, or Victoria Falls Hotel, in bed and breakfast rooms only. Enjoy different cuisine at the famous traditional Boma restaurant, on a Dinner Cruise, or simply relax at the hotel and dine on site.
