Overview

Embark on an extraordinary journey through the heart of Botswana, where the wonders of this southern African country await you at every turn. Our 7 day safari promises to immerse you in the true magic of Botswana, leaving you in awe of its captivating beauty and boundless splendor.

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. This enchanting haven is known for its exceptional beauty and abundant wildlife, offering an unparalleled experience in the heart of the country’s natural splendor. A unique highlight awaits as we cruise along the river aboard a boat, providing us with an intimate view of African animals coming to quench their thirst along the water’s edge.

Lastly, we head to the majestic Victoria Falls, a breathtaking spectacle of cascading water. Feel the power and grandeur of the largest sheet of falling water in the world as you stand in awe of this natural wonder. Alternatively, take part in the plethora of activities available, adding a touch of adventure to the trip.

Join us on this unforgettable safari through Botswana, where each moment will leave you spellbound, and the memories forged will forever hold a special place in your heart. Prepare to be captivated by the untamed beauty and remarkable wildlife that make this journey truly exceptional.

Day 1 – Maun

Today is your arrival day in Maun where you will meet your crew and fellow passengers in the late afternoon.  You will overnight in Maun and your crew will brief you on the days ahead while you travel to the Khwai Conservation Area

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.  Our guide will prepare us on what to expect for our afternoon mokoro excursion into the Okavango Delta.

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.  Expect some bumpy roads as we traverse this wilderness area in our 4×4 vehicles.  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.

Day 4 – Khwai to Nata
Today’s journey from Khwai to Nata passes the Botswanan salt pans.  You will pack up camp and depart at first light on the open 4×4 safari vehicles before meeting the Nomad truck in Maun.  The scenic drive from Maun to Nata showcases some of Botswana’s breathtaking landscapes and the rich cultural heritage. Keep an eye open as there is always a chance of a wildlife encounter or two before reaching your overnight destination near Nata.

Day 5 – Nata to Kasane – Chobe National Park

We journey from Kalahari sands of Nata to Kasane and arrive in time for lunch and a quick siesta before we head out in the afternoon to explore the Chobe National Park from the river, enjoying a leisurely boat cruise which allows us an up close and personal experience with the many elephants that frequent the river in the afternoons.

Day 6 – Zimbabwe -Victoria Falls

With the memories of our wildlife encounters firmly etched in our minds, we cross the border into Zimbabwe this morning and travel the short distance to Victoria Falls. Today you will have the opportunity to visit the spectacular Victoria Falls at your leisure, also known by the local name of “Mosi-oa Tunya” (the smoke that thunders). While much of today is dedicated to viewing the mighty Zambezi River as it drops into the Batoka Gorge below, the bustling adventure town of Victoria Falls also offers a range of optional activities for those wanting a dose of adrenaline in the afternoon. For the more relaxed traveller there are craft markets and coffee shops on offer as well.

Day 7 – Victoria Falls

Whether rafting the mighty Zambezi River or enjoying a flight over the Falls, this is your day to enjoy the many attractions on offer in Victoria Falls.
