Discover Victoria Falls, "The Smoke That Thunders", one of the seven natural wonders of the world as you begin our Wild Botswana Safari. Search for game in Chobe National Park and along the Savuti Channel, where large prides of lions and other predators can be found. The final part of this safari takes you to the wild beauty of the Okavango Delta, the vast system of interlocking water and reed-filled channels that drain into the Kalahari Desert. The unique landscape of the Delta harbours a abundance of wildlife. This adventure camping expedition allows you to experience Botswana in a small group setting of eight people or less.

DAY 2: CHOBE NATIONAL PARK
Depart Zambia and enter Botswana by way of the Kazangula border, where the four countries of Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe meet. A light aircraft transfer takes you to the northern region of Chobe National Park. This area is famous for vast herds of elephant and unique antelope species such as puku or Chobe bushbuck. A cruise along the Chobe River in a catamaran-style shaded boat fills the afternoon, then camp overnight at your Adventurer Camp. [BLD]

Game drives in the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve offer fantastic opportunities to see a wide variety of animals but especially elephants. Time is flexible so that we can follow the movement of the game. One day you will depart camp for an early morning activity, followed by lunch at a scenic spot and a hammock siesta. Before heading back to camp you may go canoeing, depending on the activities of the local hippos. Overnight at your Adventurer Camp. [BLD]

DAY 5: KHWAI CONCESSION, OKAVANGO DELTA
After breakfast, we drive to the airstrip for a light aircraft transfer to Khwai Adventurer Camp. Khwai Adventurer Camp is located in a private concession just north of the Khwai River above the Moremi Game Reserve. The Khwai Concession is one of the most diverse areas in northern Botswana which seldom disappoints when it comes to producing extraordinary wildlife experiences. The life source for this area is the Khwai River the northernmost finger of the Okavango Delta alluvial fan, which provides vital sustenance to numerous animals. Overnight at Khwai Adventurer Camp. [BLD]
Lodging Khwai Adventurer Camp
Description Here, in a completely private concession area on the Khwai Channel, you have the exclusivity to explore this seasonally game-rich flooded region on game drives, game walks and night drives.
DAYS 6-7: KHWAI CONCESSION IN THE OKAVANGO DELTA
Over time, the Khwai area has metamorphosed into a wide range of exciting wildlife habitats some of the most varied to be found in the entire Okavango Delta: a blend of forests, floodplain, wetland and grasslands. The narrow Khwai Channel is home to large mammals such as hippo and crocodile with buffalo and red lechwe often seen grazing along the fringe. The beautiful riverine woodland found along the river provides further sanctuary to birds, primates and leopard. Elusive roan antelope often come to the river to drink. Activities focus around day and night game drives, nature walks and seasonal mokoro excursions.

Away from the river there is a wonderful mix of acacia and leadwood trees of varying sizes that abuts into mopane woodland. The latter, together with the permanent presence of water, attracts large numbers of elephant to the area. Larger predators include lion, wild dog and spotted hyaena, while birdlife found here is just as varied thanks to the colorful palette of habitats. Overnight at our Khwai Adventurer Camp. [BLD]

DAYS 8-9: OKAVANGO DELTA
We fly by light aircraft to the water-filled paradise of the remote Xigera area, within the Moremi Game Reserve. Xigera is the ultimate Okavango Delta experience, with serene waters flowing through innumerable channels around remote islands and a profusion of plant and animal birdlife.

There is no better way to experience the Okavango than to travel through it by mokoro, walking and camping out on a vegetated island; all of which are essential elements of the Xigera Mokoro Trails. The experience is aimed at highlighting the permanently flooded inner Delta, in the serene waterways and on the islands of trees and bush.

Activities include mokoro and walking safaris on remote islands, which enable up-close encounters with an excellent diversity of birdlife (including Pels Fishing-Owl), frogs and some game species, some specially adapted to water, such as the familiar red lechwe. Walking activities vary in length and duration depending on the season, especially in the months when the Okavango is at peak flood (June, July and August) where walks become shorter as more islands are flooded. Overnights at Xigera Mokoro Trails Camp.
