DAY 1
On arrival, you will be met at Maun airport and transferred by air into The Moremi Game Reserve, where you will meet your Zoologist/Biologist Guide.
Once in the Moremi enjoy a slow meander/game drive to familiarise yourselves with the area, then into your first camp in good time to enjoy sundowners and dinner.
DAY 2
Breakfast in the first light of day and head out in the safari cars for your introduction to some of the animals of the dry floodplain environment, looking for zebra, wildebeest, impala and predators such as wild dog and cheetah.
Return to camp for lunch and a siesta.
Head out for sundowners after a large spread of tea and cakes. Park at the edge of a lagoon and watch herds of elephant and a myriad of birds coming down to drink whilst the sun sets and you are given an informal talk on the geological history of the area.
Return to camp for a sumptuous dinner.
DAY 3
Enjoy a hearty breakfast, head out for the whole day to explore the wider area around your first camp. Search out the creatures and plants typical of the ecosystem and explore the interrelationships of species and the systems in which they live. Seek out the elusive predators such as lion, cheetah and leopard and observe and interpret their behaviour.
Picnic and siesta under a shady tree, and return to camp for dinner.
DAY 4
After breakfast, take a slow drive to the lagoon’s edge and board a boat to explore the waters of the Delta. The deep open lagoons provide a wonderful contrast in habitat after the dry forest areas and floodplains of your first camp.
Putt along the maze of channels, stopping to admire rare birds and the diversity of aquatic life. Spot small crocodiles basking in the sun on sparkling white sandbanks and hippos jousting for territories with spectacular splashes and clashes of jaws and some serious dental equipment... Learn about the ecology of the waters and look at all the important components of the ecosystem.
Have a picnic lunch on the river bank and cool off at a safe swimming spot.
Arrive at your private, lantern-lit camp on an island, deep in the delta, just after sunset. Shower and relax around the fire before dinner under the stars.
Sleep in a mosquito net tent and luxuriate in the freedom of a night in the open, surrounded by nature at her very best.
DAY 5
Rise early and after a short walk around the island, hop back into your boat for a meander through the waterways, absorbing the tranquillity of the lagoons and narrow, papyrus-fringed, hippo trails.
This will allow you to immerse yourself completely in the incredible spectacles that the Delta has to offer.
Search out hippo and bathing elephants to understand the importance of the Okavango to these enormous creatures.
Marvel at the majesty of elephants from only a few yards away as they wash and feed on the roots of aquatic plants.
Drift back to the vehicles.
Picnic and siesta in the arms of a giant shady baobab. Spend the afternoon seeking out hyaena dens and, as the day cools down, watch for hunting cats.
Head on to your third and final camp for a refreshing shower and delectable dinner.
DAY 6
Rise early and, after breakfast, explore the junction between land and water.
Set off to access the hidden nooks and crannies of the Delta through the dry flood plains and woodlands that border the great swamps. Search for lechwe and sitatunga, unusual semi-aquatic antelope specially adapted to the fringe environment.
Lunch and siesta in camp. Head out after another delicious spread of tea and cakes.
Drive from camp to view game moving about the reeds and rushes of watered flood plain. Watch herds of elephants and birds coming down to drink whilst enjoying sundowners on the edge of a waterway.
Return to camp for yet another tasty dinner and get some much needed sleep.
DAY 7
All day predator hunt. Spend the last day indulging yourself completely in seeking out your favourite species. Leopard, lion, cheetah and wild dog. If you want to watch lions mating for two hours or prefer to watch bee eaters hawking insects on the wing then so be it.
Return to camp for your last night in this incredible Eden.
DAY 8
Say your farewells to the camp and transfer out of the Delta.
