Days 1 - 3: Moremi Game Reserve, camping (Botswana)

This Botswana Camping Safari departs from a pre-arranged meeting point in Maun at 07h30 on day one.

Your guide will meet you in Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta, from where you will drive to Moremi Game Reserve, one of Botswana's top game parks.

We spend the first three days of this wildlife safari exploring Moremi Reserve on game drives in search of the impressive array of wild animals and prolific birdlife found in this diverse wilderness area of Botswana. Moremi is considered one of the most beautiful game reserves in Africa covering the eastern part of the Okavango Delta where mopane woodland and acacia forests contrast with watery floodplains and lagoons.

Moremi is home to elephants, especially numerous during the dry season, as well as buffalo, giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah, hyaena and jackal. A wide variety of antelope species, including the rare red lechwe, are also found in Moremi, along with healthy populations of endangered African Wild Dog.

During our stay in Moremi we embark on game drives in the early mornings at sunrise and again in the late afternoons at sunset. Our early morning game drives are followed by lunch and a rest back at the safari camp. On day three we move to a new campsite to explore a different part of the pristine Moremi Reserve. We camp in private campsites with bush ablutions in designated wilderness areas of the reserve. (B, L, D)

Day 1: Maun to Moremi Game Reserve: 150km, 6h (including Moremi game drive)

Days 4 - 6: Chobe National Park, camping (Botswana)

On day four we leave Moremi making our way north east to Chobe National Park, boasting one of the highest concentrations of game in Africa.

Botswana's most diverse wilderness area, the vast Chobe Park is best known for its large herds of migratory elephants. Next our journey in search of wildlife takes us across the drier Savuti plains of Chobe. Savuti hosts one of Africa's highest concentrations of wildlife within Chobe and is renowned for its predators, especially lion and hyena. We continue north to the Chobe River meandering along the banks of the river on our game drives as we look out for elephants, hippos and buffalos as well as rich birdlife including the African Fish Eagle. In the Chobe area we will be camping in private designated sites with bush ablutions. The camping areas selected are remote and wild providing a real African bush experience. (B, L, D)

You have free time in the afternoon to visit the impressive Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and go curio shopping. On the last night of this Botswana Camping Safari dinner will be at your own expense at the lodge in Livingstone. Optional Activities in Livingstone include White Water Rafting down the Zambezi Gorge, Canoeing on the upper Zambezi, Elephant Rides and Helicopter Flights over Victoria Falls. (Day 7 – B, L & Day 8 - B)

The truly wild African bush experience of the Chobe & Moremi Botswana Camping Safari officially ends after breakfast on day eight.
