- Day 1 - Chobe National ParkArrive at Kasane International Airport. You will be met at the Airport by a safari guide holding a sign board that reads “MARVELOUS MOBILE SAFARI”.

- Day 2 & 3 - Chobe National ParkWake up in the morning, then have some breakfast before departing for a morning game drive which is longer. You will also have an opportunity to observe the animals from close up. Chobe also boasts two antelopes rarely encountered elsewhere in Botswana - the puku and the Chobe bushbuck. The puku, with their shaggy orange-brown coats and V-shaped horns, can be spotted grazing the floodplains. Always be on the lookout for predators, a repetitive whistle is used to warn fellow herd members. In contrast, the Chobe bushbuck is nocturnal and rarely forms groups of more than one pair. Rarely seen, this shy antelope, with its short, spiral horns relies on a sharp bark as an alarm call when threatened. Both the puku and the bushbuck have a number of predators to contend with; from lion, hyena and leopard to African wild dog. Go back to the camping site after a beautiful drive, have lunch and then go for siesta. At 3:00pm you depart for a beautiful sunset boat cruise along the Chobe River. You will come very close to crocodiles and pods of hippos from the boat. We may see lions from the boat, and big herds of buffalo and elephants. We get back to the camping area after sundowner and dinner will be served at around 7:00pm.

- Day 4 - SavutiIn the morning have breakfast and depart to Savuti which is part of Chobe National Park. Tawny eagles can be seen soaring in the sky as we go. The drive is very enjoyable as you will see lots of birds and animals on the way. The scenery is amazing and very African looking, with lots of umbrella thorn, acacia tortilis with giraffe feeding and many more including the most photographed bird, lilac breasted roller. You will not resist from taking a picture of it, one may say it is the most beautiful bird in Africa. We will arrive around time for lunch. Our exclusive camp will be set up and we will camp for two nights. Depart for a game drive at 3:30pm, to the beautiful Savuti marsh where we will see a wide variety of game species, from big herds of herbivores and smaller antelope species. You may also have an opportunity to see pairs of Kori bastards which are the heaviest flying birds in Africa and a national bird of Botswana. We get back to camp after sunset for a lovely dinner around the camp fire. Again the last guest determines bedtime.

This is a very wide open area, with short shrubs, scattered acacias in places, beautiful hills, sand dunes and the mysterious Savuti channel that give a well-balanced ecosystem of predator and prey species. The cool morning hours will allow you to explore the area very well and endure the true African desert. Along the way, you may have a pit stop and have a cup of tea and stretch your legs. The game drive will carry on until around 1130hours, when it starts getting hot, and we shall be going for our lunch at the camp. In the afternoon, soon after high tea, we will head out for an afternoon game drive which usually is shorter than the morning drive. The guide will be showing you around and sharing some historical information pertaining to the area. At around sunset, you will have a sundowner drink as you watch the Savuti sun setting, then head back to camp for dinner and rest.
