Our Trips using this Extension


Southern Africa Private Journey

Day 1
Okavango Delta Safari

Arrive in Maun, Botswana, and fly by charter flight to your lodge in the Moremi Game Reserve, in the heart of the Okavango Delta. From camp, enjoy gameviewing by mokoro (dugout canoe-subject to water levels), on foot, as well as day and night drives. Overnight at Baines or Stanley’s, both intimate safari camps with lavishly appointed tents and great views. The choice of camp depends upon availability during your preferred safari dates.

Days 2-3
Okavango Delta Safari

The Okavango Delta system is the largest in the world, 8,000 square miles filled with water channels, lagoons, swamps, and islands. Apart from the outstanding beauty of the wetland habitat, this unique area supports and sustains a huge diversity of fauna and flora so that gameviewing is excellent throughout the year, with elephants congregating along the lagoons and waterways and impala, wildebeest, red lechwe, zebra, giraffe, sable, and buffalo found on the game-rich floodplains, along with their predators-lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, and the rare wild dog. On a typical day, enjoy morning nature walks, mokoro rides, and game drives by 4WD vehicle, returning to camp for a delicious lunch. In the afternoon, head out again for more gameviewing, and perhaps enjoy a night drive after dinner. Your guides are the key to understanding the intricacies of this unique ecosystem, adept at sharing their knowledge with passion and humor.

Day 4
Depart

Fly by charter to either Maun, Botswana, or Kasane, Botswana (with a two-hour road transfer to Livingstone, Zambia). Depart on homeward-bound flights.
