Day 1 Wilderness Safari
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Wilderness Safari

You’ll be collected from the airport.

Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.

The Journey to Xakanaxa & Third Bridge Area (Okavango Delta)

From Maun, we will drive to the Xakanaxa and Third Bridge Area, one of the best wilderness areas of the Moremi Game Reserve, which covers swamp and dry areas of the Okavango. We will start early in the morning. The late afternoon will be spent searching for the wide variety of wildlife and birds that this area is renowned for while absorbing the sounds and beauty of this region.

*This journey will take around 4 to 5 hours depending on animal sightings along the way.
Day 2 Big 5 Safari Safari
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Big 5 Safari Safari

You’ll be exploring the Okavango Delta, one of Africa’s most remarkable natural places. The Delta floods every year, and the trails differ depending on the water levels. The interplay of water and dry land makes for some fascinating wildlife encounters. Expect sightings of elephants, hippos, crocs, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and

more, and the big cats are never far away.

The wake-up call is at 5:30 am. You will hurriedly have a tee or coffee and a small breakfast snack and then set out on your morning game drive! You return to camp at around 8:30 am for a delicious breakfast. In the afternoon, depending on the availability and water levels, we will take you for a complimentary boat drive upstream into the delta. You will wrap up the day with an evening game drive around Xakanaka Lagoon.
Day 3 The Journey To Khwai Concession
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

The Journey To Khwai Concession

The wake-up call is at around 5:30 am. We will drive out to try to catch the ‘cats’ in action! We will spend most of the drive exploring the awe-inspiring lagoons and corners of the Moremi Game Reserve and its neighboring wildlife-rich areas. This increases the chances of spotting the members of the Big Five.

We will return to the camp at around 8:00 am, where food will be awaiting us. After breakfast, we will break camp and drive to Khwai.

Our game drive here explores the region surrounding the Khwai River (Northeast Moremi / Khwai Concession).

A mokoro excursion will take you along the Khwai River to view the game from another perspective and experience this tranquil traditional transport mode.
Day 4 Big 5 Safari ( Cats )
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Big 5 Safari ( Cats )

In the morning at 8:30 am after breakfast and after the camp is dismantled, drive to the most south-western part of Chobe National Park, the Savuti region. We will arrive around 12:00 pm.

Irrigated by the unpredictable Savuti Channel of the Okavango, the area is famous for its unworldly landscapes and, of course, for its predators especially the lion prides that have adapted and now specialize in hunting elephants.

After arriving and setting up the camp, lunch will be served. In the late afternoon, we will take you on a game drive through the area and visit the Savuti marsh with very good chances to experience lions up close on a hunt. In the evening you return to the camp, where a delicious dinner awaits you. Round off the day at the campfire under a stunning starry sky surrounded by sounds of wildlife
Day 5 The Journey To Kasane (Chobe National Park)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

The Journey To Kasane (Chobe National Park)

In the morning after breakfast, we will break camp and set off northbound towards Kasane, Chobe National Park. Here you drive through the Goha Gate, pass the Chobe Forest Reserve and the villages of Kachikau, Kavimba, and Muchenje as we drive along the Botswana-Namibia border. The 70km stretch between Savuti and Kachikau demands at least 2.5 hours as we navigate the challenging fine white sands of north-western Botswana. From Kachikau onwards, we will cruise comfortably on a tarmac road. We will shortly explore the Chobe waterfront as we pass through and arrive in Kasane at 13:30Hrs. We will then check in at Water Lily for our Kasane stay. After lunch, we will relax and enjoy civilization and its amenities before resuming our safari adventure by taking a sunset boat cruise on the Chobe River in the park
Day 6 Boat Safari Cruise
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Boat Safari Cruise

We will resume our excursion early in the morning as we will do a game drive in the park. This is a “one of a kind” experience as the Chobe area is one of the finest wildlife reserves on the African continent. The animal density and diversity are uncomperable. The Chobe is famous for its large herds of elephants. Go on a search for animals that you have not been able to get before the camera lens!

Day’s Activities:

-Morning game drive

-Breakfast

-Transfer to Victoria Falls

The Botswana part of your adventure ends here. We will then facilitate a smooth transfer into Zimbabwe, where you will be transported in an air-conditioned minivan to the border and then all the way to your lodge; Shearwaters Explorers Village, or Pioneers Victoria Falls (according to availability).

Day 7 The Might Victoria Falls
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

The Might Victoria Falls

A self-Paced leisurely tour of the Victoria Falls and optional Mosi-oa-Tunya National Parks. Here, unlike in Botswana, it is NOT necessary to book or do your tour of the national parks with a guide. The Falls are explored on foot. There are well-built walkways and pathways that one simply follows leading to various viewpoints along the way. Be aware that some people may try to offer you guided tours there, it’s not necessary! The lodge will provide shuttle services at an extra cost to and from the Falls or if not, then they will arrange a certified taxi for you.
