  • Day 1 - Maun to Moremi Game Reserve
    Your trip begins as you fly over herds of elephants while on your short charter flight from Maun International Airport north to Moremi Game Reserve. We're there to meet you as you step off the plane into the game reserve, located inside the famous Okavango Delta, the largest inland delta in the world. There is more animal diversity in the Okavango Delta than in any other part of Botswana.

  • Day 2 - Xakanaxa / Xini (Moremi Game Reserve)
    You'll spend several days exploring the Moremi Game Reserve and camping in the Xakanaxa region on the north-eastern side of the Moremi Game Reserve. The reserve is considered to have some of the best wildlife viewing areas. You'll quickly fall under the enchantment of the seasonal flood plains, large lagoons, wooded islands, riverine forests, and, most of all - the wildlife! Keep your camera close at hand as Moremi is Africa's best game reserve for viewing the endangered African Wild Dog, not to mention at least four Lion prides and multiple herds of Elephants. Lechwe antelopes are also commonly found in the area.

  • Day 5 - Xakanaxa to Khwai
    The fifth day is a day filled with adventure! Following an early morning breakfast, you'll take a slow drive through Moremi Game Reserve northeast towards the Khwai Community Area, complete with an open-air picnic. The day's journey follows the Manuchira Channel, which is known as the Khwai River at its easternmost extremity. The path weaves from the riverside and floodplains into the Mopane tree woodlands that make Khwai one of the most scenic areas in the Okavango Delta. Just keep your hand on your camera because, on our way to the Khwai Community Area, you'll pass the magnificent Dombo Hippo pools in the morning, stopping to enjoy the scenery and the antics of the resident Hippo. The eastern Mopane forest is also home to breeding herds of Elephants. Bull Elephants hang along the riverside most of the year and revel in the cool water of the Khwai. While drinking and bathing, they are far more approachable here than among the breeding herds. The river also has a high density of Hippos, as well as Crocodiles, Leopards, Lions, and Cheetahs. Both Xakanaxa and Khwai are included in the home ranges of different packs of Wild Dogs. You may also notice Southern Giraffes, Burchell Zebras, Greater Kudu, Tsessebe, Waterbuck, and Sable Antelope.

    Main Destination: Khwai

    Accommodation: Luxury and comfortable tented accommodation, including beds, bed linen and towels, with a private ensuite bathroom.

  • Day 6 - Khwai Exploration
    You'll spend your time between the Leadwood and Camel Thorn woodlands, savannahs, the riverside, and the marshy backwater of the Khwai. Khwai is a predator-rich area known for having a high concentration of all types of wildlife and is one of the best places in the Okavango Delta for Elephants. The river also draws a healthy population of other animals, such as Red Lechwe, Impala, Hippo, and Zebra. Buffalo use this area seasonally, with large herds moving in during the dry season.

  • Day 7 - Khwai Exploration (with a Mokoro safari)
    You'll spend your time between the Leadwood and Camel Thorn woodlands, savannahs, the riverside, and the marshy backwater of the Khwai. Khwai is a predator-rich area known for having a high concentration of all types of wildlife and is one of the best places in the Okavango Delta for Elephants. The river also draws a healthy population of other animals, such as Red Lechwe, Impala, Hippo, and Zebra. Buffalo use this area seasonally, with large herds moving in during the dry season. The Khwai is also an ideal location for a Mokoro (shallow canoe) safari. Today, you'll have a chance to explore the Okavango and go to places only accessible by Mokoro. You'll be able to photograph aquatic birds, plants, and water lilies at eye level as you'll be low to the water. During this excursion, you'll be guided by an expert "poler" (a guide at the rear of the boat that moves it along with a long pole) through the bulrushes (plants) and marshes. (*Note: Mokoro excursions are dependent on the water level in the channel. If the water isn't high enough, then all our activities will be game drives.)

    Main Destination: Khwai

    Accommodation: Luxury and comfortable tented accommodation, including beds, bed linen and towels, with a private ensuite bathroom.

    Meals & Drinks: All Meals Included with Drinks

  • Day 8 - Khwai to Maun
    Today is a travel day. You'll work your way back to the airstrip and your charter flight back to Maun International Airport (or other destination). But it's not over yet….. After Breakfast, you'll take one final game drive to give you an opportunity to photograph whatever you wish on the open-air drive back to the airstrip. You'll have one last chance to snap as many pictures as you can of Elephants, Hippos, Zebras, and any other wildlife around the delta. At the airstrip, we'll help you load and get settled for your short charter back to Maun.
