This comfortable Botswana Safari to the Okavango Delta & Kazuma Pans begins in Maun. Start with a light aircraft flight to Mogogelo Camp, on the southern border of the Moremi Game Reserve where an abundance of wildlife gathers. Explore the narrow maze of waterways and estuaries of the Okavango Delta in traditional-style dugout mokoro boats, on foot with local guides, or on twice daily 4x4 game drives.
After 3 nights in the Okavango Delta area, we fly to Wildtrack Safari Eco Lodge near Kazuma Pans in the Chobe area. This luxury tented camp is designed for privacy and comfort and is fully solar-powered. Here we explore the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA) which protects the migratory routes of elephants and herds of plains game on 4x4 game drives, relax by the pool and learn about the lodge’s outreach projects. Optional activities (own expense) day trips to nearby Chobe National Park, Victoria Falls, or Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe.
Our Botswana Safari begins in Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta. You will be met at Maun Airport, where a light aircraft will transfer you to Mogogelo Camp, lying on the southern border of the Moremi Game Reserve. This flight offers a fantastic aerial perspective of the layout of the Moremi portion of the Okavango Delta.
On arrival at Mogogelo Camp, settle in and enjoy a delicious Lunch/High Tea at camp before heading out on an afternoon game drive for a first introduction to this fascinating area. The camp is located on the delta’s seasonal floodplains, in a private concession on the eastern edge of the Okavango Delta. Discover the unique landscape on twice daily game drives, which depart at sunrise and again in the late afternoon to overlap with sunset. Exploring is done by game drive under the expert lead of local Motswana guides. We travel on an open 4x4 safari vehicle which offers fantastic views of the surrounding landscape and the animals you encounter. Get up close with elephants, buffalos, lions, and a host of other creatures. Experience the tradition of having sundowners - at a scenic spot in the bush mid-game drive - an iconic element of any safari in southern Africa!
Afternoon game drives become night drives after the sun sets, bringing the nocturnal creatures to the spotlight. Leopards and lions are more active at night, while nocturnal creatures like civets, porcupines, honey badgers, and jackals are likely to be seen. During the dry season, walking safaris are a possibility for those who’d like to explore on foot. Between game drives, you are at leisure to relax at camp, take a dip in the swimming pool, have a drink at the bar, or simply enjoy the solitude of the bush from your private deck.
Mogogelo Camp is a classic tented safari camp on a private concession in the seasonal floodplains of the Okavango Delta, on the southern border of the Moremi Game Reserve. Enjoy an authentic Botswana safari experience in the shared, thatched dining area which houses a bar, outdoor lounge, and swimming pool, with a traditional fire pit extending towards the waterhole.
10 luxury tents with decks overlook an open plain and permanent waterhole, wandering game offering an opportunity to watch wildlife from the comfort of all areas of camp. The rooms are well-spaced, ensuring maximum privacy and tranquillity for our guests, each with free standing fan and indoor shower.
Go on game drives in the surrounding private concession and southern Moremi Game Reserve, for a chance to experience the park’s incredible wildlife and natural beauty. For a unique and tranquil experience, our dedicated Mokoro station provides day trips to explore the peaceful waters of the Okavango Delta.
On day 4 of our Botswana Safari, after a final morning activity followed by a hearty breakfast, it is time to bid farewell to Mogogelo Camp. A light aircraft will transfer you to your next destination, Wildtrack Safaris Eco Lodge in north-eastern Botswana, close to the Zimbabwe border. It is conveniently located to explore the surrounding areas such as a game drive in the famous Chobe National Park, a game viewing cruise on the Chobe River, or a visit to one of the world’s great natural wonders: Victoria Falls.
Settle into Wildtrack Safaris Eco Lodge, refresh with some lunch, then embark on an afternoon game drive to explore the terrain.
The lodge lies near the center of the newly formed Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA) which aims to promote migration and protect an area larger than Germany/Austria combined, nearly twice as large as the United Kingdom. It includes the vast river basins of both the Kavango and Zambezi rivers and sees 5 countries converge: Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. It is where seasonal waters flow from the uplands, spilling out in a delta onto desert sands. A truly unique landscape. The sheer scale of KAZA provides habitats from grassland, wetland, dry forest, and a variety of woodland types, to saltpans and scrublands. The protection of this vast area enables the large-scale seasonal migrations of giant herds of elephants, antelopes, wildebeest, and buffalo.
Early morning and afternoon 4x4 safari game drives from Wildtrack Safaris Eco Lodge take us into the forest reserves which lie alongside the legendary Kuzuma Pans, a series of pans stretching from Botswana into Zimbabwe which swell with water in the rainy season. Many of the pans are filled with borehole water during the dry season, attracting great numbers of migrating wildlife. It lies on a busy elephant corridor, and you can also expect to see herds of wildebeest and buffalo, roan antelope, rare sable, giraffe, lion, and leopard. The Oribi, a small antelope, is endemic. Wild dogs and cheetahs can also be observed around the pans as this is ideal hunting terrain for them. The waters attract many birds making it a bird-watching paradise boasting over 380 species including waterbirds storks, crowned cranes, stilts, cormorants, ducks, and kingfishers.
Your days are yours to spend as you decide. Head out before dawn for an early game drive before returning to camp for a hearty breakfast. Relax by the pool, then later head out on your next game drive, or choose to visit a nearby village or learn more about the community uplift and agriculture projects which are supported in the area. You may prefer to book a day trip (own expense) to explore the surrounding attractions such as the famous Chobe National Park, Chobe River cruise or visit mighty Victoria Falls.
Wildtrack Safaris Eco Lodge is an eco-friendly lodge in the heart of the newly formed Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier conservation area, which spans international borders and provides unparalleled access to world-renowned Chobe National Park, the majestic Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park, and the vast Kazuma Pan all sitting on its doorstep.
The lodge has 10 solar-powered thatched luxury chalets, and one luxury family tent, all with fans, indoor baths, and outdoor showers. Between game-viewing adventures, visitors can take time to relax on the lush, tree-filled lawns, or cool off in the sparkling swimming pool. Sipping on a sundowner as the sky sets ablaze with colors is unforgettable. And, after a gourmet dinner, the boma fireplace is the perfect spot to relax under the stars watching animals visit the nearby waterhole.
Wildtrack Safaris Eco Lodge was recently awarded full ‘Ecotourism’ grading and continues to work to promote sustainable development within the surrounding community. The lodge offers trips to visit a range of initiatives that provide unique insights into the lives and traditions of the local communities. Immerse yourself through cultural interactions, visit community projects, or learn about sustainable farming practices on a guided tour of a nearby farm.
After a final morning activity followed by a hearty breakfast, it is time to bid farewell to Wildtrack Safaris Eco Lodge. You will be transferred by road to the nearby town of Kasane, where our Botswana Safari will end.
