Upon arrival in Botswana at Maun Airport, board the small charter flight transfer to Eagle Island Airstrip (Xababa Airstrip). From the local airstrip, it is a 20-minute scenic boat ride to the island.
Xaxaba is a remote and rustic destination overlooking the famous Chief's Island in the acclaimed Okavango Delta region and offers plenty of water-based safari activities.
Expect mokoro trips in traditional canoes, fishing, and visits to the local community village. There’s even an opportunity to celebrate golden hour in a special sundowner spot on the banks of the intricate waterways. Boat excursions are also available, but only when the water levels are adequate (generally June/July) which you'd need to check beforehand.
A short flight takes you from Mboma Camp to Savuti. The raw heart of the Chobe National Park, the Savuti region is famous for its eternally warring lions and spotted hyenas.
Savuti’s grasslands support great herds of antelope and attract a summer zebra migration. It’s also one of the best places in Africa for up-close photos of elephants. Enjoy two nights of tented comfort at Camp Savuti. Set on the now-flowing Savuti Channel, the camp offers armchair views of wildlife drinking at the water. You’ll enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in the company of experienced guides.
On the final day in Botswana, you will be transferred from the lodge to Kasane Border where you will be warmly greeted and transferred to Taita Falcon Lodge, Livingstone.
Taita Falcon Lodge is an ideal base to explore the falls and experience the many activities offered in the area. A typical day at Taita Falcon will include a leisurely breakfast, a light lunch (if not out on activity), and a three-course meal on the viewing deck. The days at your leisure could be spent by the pool, take in the views with a drink on the deck, hike one of the trails, or simply read in your secluded garden. The only structured time is for the evening meal.
After breakfast at leisure, you will be met by a local representative who will transfer you to Livingstone Airport for your onward journey/departure.
