Chobe National Park

The Chobe river floodplain is undoubtedly one of the greatest wildlife areas on the continent and one is sometimes overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of animals. Here we divide our time between game drives along the river and in the forest and a boat cruise on the Chobe River which is one of the high-lights of the trip. We will also have some time to do some curio shopping in the village of Kasane before heading to our campsite in the Chobe National Park, this a true wildlife paradise and one of the best national parks in Southern Africa. Just one peek at the variety of wildlife and lush vegetation and you will be mesmerized forever! Boat cruises and game drives along the river are very popular. The natural environment of the park allows for excellent photographic experiences

Savuti

Depart to Savuti- we will be travelling through wilderness area for the whole journey. This is a day that puts into perspective the sheer size of this wilderness area. Savuti lies in an ancient lake bed that is punctuated with small rocky-hills (kopjes), some of which hold ancient San rock paintings. Here we explore the Savuti marsh and river bed for the abundant wildlife of this timeless place, including its famous elephant and lion population. Wild dog are also regularly seen as well as a large variety of other mammals. Savuti is a favored area of wildlife photographers and film- makers and many well-known wildlife documentaries have been filmed here. In this area we will be doing our evening and morning game drives.

Khwai

Here we will camp in a private campsite in the heart of the waterways of the Okavango Delta. Day 4 takes us on the game drive on our arrival in the evening and morning drive. The wildlife of this area is thus spoilt for habitat: From Island to woodland, floodplain to permanent swamp. With such diversity of habitat, time spent in this area is quite rewarding. After enjoying our early morning breakfast and clearing our tents we start our game drive to the Eastern most extremity of the Okavango Delta.

Xhakanaka

Tucked in the Western part of Moremi, Xakanaxa and Third bridge area offer more interesting habits for wildlife: Gigantic Mophane forest opening up to wide open spaces of floodplains, seasonal and permanent swamp. The Xakanaxa area is rich in habitat and wildlife. The animals are attracted to the narrow ribbon of water the River and this provides for some spectacular wildlife viewing. This is an area where lion and leopard may be seen. There is a healthy population of plains game including Kudu, Impala, and Zebra. Here we will spend our days do-ing game drives and Mokoro activity and also have a chance to relax and catch up with your diaries.

There is a great variety of birdlife along these channels, and mammals such as the elusive otter and majestic lechwe may be seen. If we are lucky we may even see an elephant cooling off in the clear waters or catch a glimpse of the shy sitatunga. We usually spend most of the day out so we will pack a picnic lunch to be enjoyed in a shady spot in this picturesque part of Moremi. In the evening we return to the camp for warm shower and a hearty meal while listening to the sounds of the African bush at night.

Xini

These areas are in the south western part of Moremi. Department of Wildlife and National Parks of Botswana has just recently added more road infrastructure to make the Xini area more accessible than ever before. With seasonal and permanent swamp landscape, these two areas are home to a bounty of Buffalo herds, Elephant and good lion prides. We have frequently seen Cheetah and African Wild dog hunting in these areas.

There are only two exclusive camping areas allowed for use only by registered tour operators in Botswana. This makes the Xini area quite attractive compared to most areas, because of lesser tourist activities. You can enjoy predator sightings here for hours before a passing vehicle bound for either Xakanaxa or South gate found us. Here you will be doing the whole day game drive; you will also have a game drive on your way out to Maun.
