Arriving in Kasane, an extraordinary cruise on the Chobe River awaits you. The meeting point is in Kasane at 12.30 before embarking on the boat cruise at around 14.00. This amazing experience allows you to get a closer look at the aquatic animals and birds not easily approached on safari. The cruise is also a great ice-breaker where everyone on the safari gets to know one another. After the boat cruise, Chobe National Park awaits. A leisurely game drive to your camp will give great opportunities for amazing views of the sun setting over the Chobe River floodplain. You will arrive at camp just before dark, where the rest of the safari team will welcome you to your home for the next 2 nights. Camping will be in private designated campsites with ensuite bush ablutions on each tent.
Transfer time: ~1 1/2 hours
Chobe River Cruise
Shared afternoon game drive
The next day, your morning and afternoon game drives will meander along the banks of the river, followed by the call of the majestic African Fish Eagle. The Chobe River Floodplain is an amazing game viewing area where water attracts large herds of buffalo, elephant, zebra and other herbivores. Due to the proliferation of prey, predators are likely to be close at hand.
Today we head south, away from the Chobe River, further into the heart of Chobe National Park. As you continue your search for wildlife, you will traverse the drier region of Savuti where bull elephants dot the plains. Savuti is very well known for its predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah and even African wild dog. Camping will be in private designated campsites with ensuite bush ablutions on each tent.
Transfer time: ~5 hours

Game drives to explore Southern Chobe National Park
From Savuti you will drive through to Moremi / Khwai, one of the best wilderness areas of Botswana which covers swamp and dry areas. The next two days 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. Game drives in the early morning as the sun rises and in the late afternoon as the sun sets will be the norm.
Transfer time: ~5-6 hours
Game drive transfer to Khwai
Game drives to explore the region surrounding the Khwai River (North-east Moremi/Khwai Concession). A mokoro excursion will take you along a tributary of the Khwai River to view game from another perspective and to experience this tranquil mode of transport.

Leaving early on day 7, a game drive out of Moremi / Khwai will be our last opportunity to see the more elusive animals not yet spotted. We continue on to Maun arriving at around 12.00, where we will drop you off at your lodge or at the airport.
