Starting from Maun, our adventure begins with the option of a breathtaking scenic flight over the Okavango Delta. Witness the awe-inspiring expanse of the world’s largest inland delta, a mosaic of lagoons, lakes, and secret waterways that span an impressive 17,000 square kilometers. With water levels and temperatures in constant flux, each experience is a unique and unforgettable encounter with nature.
As we set foot in the Khwai Conservation Area, situated on the northern side of the Okavango Delta, be prepared to encounter a realm like no other. Here, local polers will guide us gently through the pristine waterways in traditional mokoros, allowing us to connect intimately with the serene surroundings. A nature walk with these knowledgeable guides will open our eyes to the hidden wonders of the land. And when it’s time to venture deeper into the wilderness, our 4×4 safari vehicles will take us on an exhilarating quest to discover the wildlife that thrives in the Khwai’s diverse ecosystem.
Our next destination is the renowned Moremi Game Reserve, nestled between the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park. This is an absolute paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, as it boasts one of Southern Africa’s highest concentrations of mesmerizing creatures. Prepare to be enthralled during an entire day of safari drives through the Savuti, as we witness majestic animals roaming freely in their natural habitat.
From Moremi, we venture further into the embrace of nature’s wonders via the Makgadikgadi Pans and find ourselves in Chobe National Park.

Day 2 – Khwai Conservation Area
You will be separated from your Nomad truck for the next 2 nights and it is therefore important that you pack/gather your personal belongings which you may need, before we depart for Maun today as there is limited time in Maun for re-packing and storing. Please pack lightly and only take what you need for the following two nights. Today we make our way towards the Okavango Delta. Early risers will have the opportunity to go on an optional scenic flight over the Delta (time and weather permitting). After your optional flight, you will be collected from Maun and will be transferred to the Khwai Conservation area in smaller safari type vehicles.

(Please note: It is possible that the mokoro activity could take place the following morning, depending on the season).
Day 3 – Moremi Game Reserve
Today is a full day game drive as we spend most of our day on safari in the Moremi Game Reserve in search of the species that roam the plains.

Offering habitats from wetland, open water to the grasslands and Savannah woodland, we hope to see as many species of fauna and flora possible. This evening we arrive back at Khwai to share and compare all the amazing sightings while on safari.
