BOTSWANA HIGHLIGHTS, GAME VIEWING SAFARI
The classic Botswana safari. Botswana is one of the true, remaining wilderness areas in Africa. 35% of the country is dedicated to conservation and Botswana has the 2nd largest area (in percentage terms) allocated to nature, of any country in the world. This is a country committed to conserving its abundant wildlife. Botswana is also home to one of Africa’s great natural attractions – the Okavango Delta, a wetland within a desert. See the estimated 70,000 Elephants in the huge and varied Chobe National Park (well, not all of them), especially as they migrate up to 200kms. This itinerary can start or finish in Maun or Kasane and can operate in either direction. It is also just a suggestion and can be extended, or if you are tighter on time you could combine just two camps and areas.

DAYS 1-2
THE START OF YOUR EXCITING SAFARI
Your adventure will start in Kasane (or Maun), easily accessible by road from Victoria Falls in 1½-2 hours. A light aircraft transfer (approx. 40 minutes) will take you to the Savute area of Chobe National Park. Savute Safari Lodge is known for its excellent predator viewing and large herds of elephant, and your stay here is 2 nights.
Established in 1968 and covering almost 12,000 square kilometres Chobe National Park is located in Botswana's north and is the third largest national park in Botswana. It boasts one of the largest concentrations of game in Africa and is world renowned for its elephant population - estimated at 70,000, possibly the largest elephant concentration in Africa. The Savuti Marsh region, which constitutes the western stretch of the park, covers 10,800 km². A relic of a large inland lake, the marsh is now fed by the erratic Savuti channel. Savuti has rich grasslands, savannah woodland and a large variety of trees and other vegetation, and is home to large concentrations of lions and elephants. Hippos wallow in the waters, crocodile laze in the sun and rich birdlife surround the area.
YOUR ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS
Savute Safari Lodge is situated in the south western part of the Chobe National Park, on the banks of the fascinating Savute channel, in the western region of the Chobe National Park.
DAYS 3-4
EXPERIENCE THE UNIQUE OKAVANGO DELTA
Another light aircraft transfer today, with amazing views of the landscape en route, will take you into the heart of the Okavango Delta for a 2-night stay.
The Okavanago Delta is a unique system of inland waterways and a highlight of any visit to Botswana. In the Okavango Delta the mokoro, a traditional dug-out canoe, is ideal as it can move quietly through shallow water, being pushed by the boatman using a long pole, moving along the narrow channels or cutting through the long grasses or papyrus. Guided activities from this permanent water site are by canoe, river boat or on foot. Fishing is also available in season.
YOUR ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS
Camp Okavango is situated on the remote Nxaragha Island in of the Okavango Delta, and is the ideal base from which to discover the secrets of this wetland eco-system.
Xugana Island Lodge is situated on a private concession within Botswana’s pristine Okavango Delta. The lodge is set on the fringe of an island, shaded by Ebony and African trees.
DAYS 5-6
MORE CLASSIC SAFARI & GAME VIEWING
After another light aircraft transfer you will be at Camp Moremi on the Xakanaxa Lagoon for a further 2-night stay.
The Moremi Game Reserve has one of the most diverse habitat and animal populations in Botswana, so your game viewing activities by river powerboat and in open 4x4 vehicles, should be both varied and exciting. Moremi Game Reserve was the first African reserve that was established by the local people. Concerned by the fast depletion of wildlife, the Batawana people of Ngamiland proclaimed Moremi a game reserve in 1963, and today it remains of great conservation, environmental and scientific importance.
YOUR ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS
Its idyllic location on the banks of the Khwai River overlooking the Lagoon ensures it is one of the few camps to provide guests with year round land and water game viewing.
Camp Moremi is set on the edge of the Xakanaxa Lagoon, in the Moremi Game Reserve, the heart of the Okavango Delta, tucked away under Ebony trees and houses a sitting area.
DAY 7
SAFARI ENDS
After a final day on safari it is time to bid farewell to this special country and one final light aircraft transfer will take you to Kasane or Maun, for your onward journey.

THE BEST TIME OF YEAR FOR THIS TRIP
LET US GUIDE YOU...
This is the classic Botswana fly-in Safari, combining all of the best elements of a safari in Botswana. The Savute region is (for want of a better phrase) the 'posh' end of Chobe National Park and the scene of some of the best safari action in Africa. This is the home of the lions that have learned to hunt Elephants, as seen on David Attenborough's Planet Earth!
And then the Okavango Delta, unique as the only inland delta in the world. Explore the waterways & channels in a traditional mokoro (canoe) or powerboat, and look for the animals from a unique perspective.
This itinerary is priced on using the camps of Desert & Delta Safaris, surely one of the friendliest companies in Africa, but there are alternatives too. Botswana is a very special destination.
