The Okavango Delta & Chobe Accommodated Safari takes you on a rewarding and action-packed wildlife adventure through scenic Botswana, ending with the cherry on top - Vic Falls!

Day 1 Windhoek - Nambia to Ghanzi - Botswana

We take a scenic drive from Windhoek through Namibia to the Buitepos border, where we enter neighbouring Botswana. Namibian dollars cannot be used in Botswana so there will also be a chance to exchange left over money. 

Later we arrive at our lodge in Ghanzi, and this evening we experience some traditional tribal dancing by the San community.

Optional Activities: Game drive and bushman walk.

Meals: Lunch, Dinner

Day 2 / 3 / 4 Maun & Okavango Delta - Botswana

Maun is well known as the gateway to the Okavango Delta, the world’s largest inland delta.

The Okavango River has no outlet to the sea, emptying into the sands of the Kalahari Desert, irrigating some 15,000 square km’s of Botswana. We spend one night in Maun preparing for our Okavango Delta adventure.

We fly into the delta in small planes passing over the untamed labyrinth of delta channels and secluded islands. Our scenic flight into the Okavango Delta takes us to the remote bush camp where we stay for the next 2 nights.

Wild animals are often spotted from the tented safari camp, along with a rich variety of birds. We embark on a thrilling nature walk with a local expert and a guided afternoon boat cruise along the intricate waterways. If the Okavango Delta water levels are high enough we also enjoy a memorable mokoro (traditional canoe) trip. The animals in the Delta bush are not as familiar with people so the game viewing is superb.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 5 Gweta - Botswana

Enjoy some game viewing from the sky, as we take a second scenic air-transfer out of the mysterious delta, returning to Maun and the safari truck.

This afternoon we drive to Gweta where our unique evening accommodation is set amongst the majestic Baobab trees indigenous to this area of Botswana. Take an optional Baobab Bush Walk to get a closer look and learn more about these ancient trees. 

Optional Activity: Baobab Bush Walk (time allowing)

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 6 Chobe National Park - Botswana

We drive north to Kasane, where we stay on the banks of the Chobe River near to the park entrance. We take a sunset river cruise on the Chobe River where animals such as hippos, buffalo and elephant are plentiful and best viewed from the water. The Chobe National Park is Botswana’s second largest National Park and well known for its large population of migratory Elephants. 

Optional Activities : Chobe Game Drive (next morning).

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 7 Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe

After an optional early morning game drive in Chobe Park we cross into Zimbabwe where we are briefed on all the activities available here.

Then we enter the much anticipated Victoria Falls National Park where we will experience the might of the great Zambezi River. Victoria Falls, known as The Smoke that Thunders, is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the widest sheet of falling water in the world.

You can take a popular optional sunset cruise on the Zambezi that includes dinner and drinks.
