Mary M Williams - Our Botswana Safari V3 - Williams Group x 8

Day notes

On arrival in Maun, you will be met and assisted to your light aircraft flight into the heart of the Okavango Delta, Pom Pom.

The Camp is located on Pom Pom Island in a private concession situated in the heart of the Okavango Delta and on the head waters of the Xudum river system. The area lies on the western boundary of the Moremi Game Reserve and offers superb Okavango scenery and a true Okavango wilderness experience.

Pom Pom is one of the camps in the Okavango Delta that is able to offer game drives within our private concession area. Morning and evening game drives in the company of our qualified guides will give you the opportunity to view all the big game and night life of this environment. A Mokoro trip is a fantastic way to experience the wonders of the Okavango Delta. In the company of a professional poler with vast experience of the Delta, you will be able to enjoy the sights and sounds of this unique habitat and learn about the waterways and wildlife. Fishing is also possible at Pom Pom, and our guides will be happy to take you to their secret spots to try for African Pike and a variety of Bream species.

Day notes

After your morning activity, you will be transferred back to the lodge airstrip in time for your light aircraft flight to the Linyanti region, Lebala.

Lebala is situated in the south of the Kwando concession, adjacent to the head waters of the Linyanti marshes that form the boundary between Botswana and Namibia. The southerly flowing Kwando river disappears into the vast marshland before emerging as the Linyanti river.

This special ecosystem is home to a wide variety of Africa’s plains game such as zebra, wildebeest, impala, giraffe and tsessebe and also provides refuge to lechwe, waterbuck and the shy sitatunga. Lebala is also known for frequent sightings of wild dog, which have denned near to the camp in recent years.

Lebala means ‘wide open spaces’ in Setswana and the scenery is dominated by vast plains with scattered palms and tree islands backed by wooded savannahs. This wild expanse contrasts with the casual understated luxury of the camp itself.

After your morning activity, you will be transferred back to the lodge airstrip in time for your light aircraft flight to Kasane. On arrival in Kasane, you will be met and road transfer across the boarder into Zimbabwe and to Phezulu Guest Lodge in Victoria Falls Town.

You will have time to make your own way down to the falls for viewing in the afternoon.

WALK THE FALLS IN ZIMBABWE

Once you have checked in you should have time to get to the falls and walk along the edge and viewing points. You can walk to the falls in daylight (2 miles) or you can take a taxi. Prepare to get wet with spray in some areas!

Taxis around the town are plentiful and affordable, please negotiate a rate before you get in, Zimbabwe has accepted the US Dollar as local currency.

Entrance to the falls NP is $30 per person, the information center as you enter is very informative.

Walking the falls is what everyone comes here to do, allow at least 2 hours to go from end to end and stop at each viewing point.

Gate times as we have it are 6am – 6pm.

Sadly today your safari comes to an end as you are collected from the lodge and road transferred to Victoria Falls International airport in time for your international outbound flight.
