Depart the UK.

Day 2
Arrive in Maun, Botswana. Rest of the day at leisure.

Day 3
We head off onto a private concession in the Khwai area. Once we’ve set up camp – we go on a night game drive in the concession. This area lies between Moremi and Chobe and we’ll have the opportunity to spot a variety of nocturnal animals.

Day 4
Today we spend a full day in the bush on a game drive. Departing after breakfast we take our 4x4 and drive through the wilderness area of the Khwai region spotting a variety of game that frequent this region.. Picnic-lunch will be in the wilderness area. With some luck we’ll see the Big Five.

Day 5
After having explored the Khwai area we now head into the famous Moremi game reserve known as one of the most beautiful and varied reserves in Africa with an unprecedented concentration of wildlife. The full day is spent in the unspoiled nature of the Moremi Game Reserve. Our mode of transport will be changed to a vehicle especially equipped and designed to take us through the rough terrain that we will face in the next six days.

Day 6
This morning we’ll float in Mokoros through the thick vegetation of the Okavango Delta in the Moremi Reserve discovering a variety of birds and wildlife hoping to spot elephants, waterbuck or other animals living in this water filled paradise. Unlike other Delta’s in the world, it flows into the Kalahari Desert without reaching the coast, which makes it unique. You have the opportunity to listen to the sounds of the wilderness whilst sitting around the campfire at night.

Day 7
We leave the Moremi Reserve behind us and enter the bordering Savuti Game Reserve, which also borders the famous Chobe National Park. The day is spent game driving through the park. Savuti is often described as the best wildlife-viewing area in all of Africa. It boasts one of the highest concentrations of wildlife, where all of the major species can be seen: giraffe, elephant, zebra, impala, roan, sable, wildebeest, kudu, buffalo, waterbuck, warthog, eland and more. The bird life is diverse and photograph opportunities abound. Savuti is known for its many predators also, including lion, spotted hyaena, jackal, bat-eared fox, wild dog and even cheetah.

Days 8-9
These two days are spent exploring the Chobe National Park with its abundance of wildlife. One of the most famous game reserves in the world, Chobe National Park is home to large animal populations and over 450 bird species.

Day 10
After breakfast and a last game drive we exit the Chobe National Park and make our way to Kasane and Toro Safari Lodge, where we will meet our driver and the vehicle, that we started the tour with. Once we’ve reached the lodge we’ll set up camp and enjoy the rest of the afternoon on a sunset cruise on the Chobe River.
