Dumela / Hello! Welcome to Botswana!”
We will be there to give you a warm Botswana welcome when you land at Maun Airport around noon. You will meet your pilot for your stunning light aircraft scenic flight over the Okavango Delta and Chief’s Island. This flight gives you a fish eagle’s eye view of this amazing ecosystem.
When you land at your remote bush airstrip within the Moremi Game Reserve, your guide will provide you with a snack pack on arrival and will be waiting to transfer you to your mobile camp with a game drive en route. The friendly, attentive staff will help you feel immediately at home and brief you on what to look forward to on your safari.
The magic of a mobile camp becomes apparent as the sun sets and you enjoy drinks around the fire before a starlit dinner and a great night’s rest after falling asleep to the sounds of the African bush.
Spending our first two nights camping in the Xakanaxa / Third Bridge area, we explore the surrounding wilderness on game drives during the day. The Moremi Game Reserve protects around a third of the entire Okavango Delta ecosystem – some 5 000km2 (1 930 square miles).
Following an early breakfast, we pack up the camp and continue our journey to Khwai, stopping for a bush picnic lunch en-route.
The Khwai River forms the boundary between the reserve and the local Khwai Community Area.
We spend the next three nights camping at a campsite in the Khwai area, exploring the Khwai floodplains on game drives.
You will also experience a 2½-hour mokoro trip, discovering channels and lagoons at a relaxed pace in a traditional dug-out canoe.
*We reserve the right to replace the mokoro trips with a power boat in the Delta to suit local conditions
Following breakfast we head back to Maun where a picnic lunch will be served en-route.
You will be dropped in Maun between noon – 1pm for your onwards arrangements.
