Days 1-3 | Victoria Falls & Chobe Riverfront
Your first 2 days are in the wonderful town of Victoria Falls, where you'll meet your group, enjoy a guided tour of the Falls and explore all the town has to offer, not to mention a spectacular sunset cruise! You'll then be transferred across the border to Kasane and onto Chobe National Park, where you'll board a magical afternoon boat cruise, witnessing elephants, hippos, and buffalos in and around the water’s edge, with the setting sun sparkling on the water, which stay with you forever.
Day 4 | Chobe National Park & Chobe Forest Reserve
Early morning you'll enjoy a game drive in the Chobe National Park, widely regarded as having a higher density of elephants than anywhere else in the world and many can often be seen coming to the riverfront. As the day continues, you exit the park at Ngoma Gate and drive through the Chobe Forest Reserve to arrive at your lodge by mid-to-late afternoon, where a cool sundowner on the deck overlooking a waterhole and resident wildlife awaits.
Days 5-7 | Khwai, Moremi & Savuti
Next up is the legendary Okavango Delta, where our base for 3 nights is a private concession in the north of Khwai. En route here you'll enjoy game viewing in Savuti, renowned for its fantastic game viewing and its varied landscapes. The region is particularly famed for its predators, so be on the lookout for any lions, leopards, or hyenas about. Your days will be spent exploring the famous Moremi Game Reserve and the bordering Khwai Region. The whole region is home to the Big Five and has high numbers of elephants and buffalos with leopard and lion sightings fairly common too, as well as a substantial population of Africa’s most successful hunters: the African Wild Dog.
