Your guide will meet you at 07.30 at a pre-arranged meeting point in Maun. From Maun 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. Camping will be in private designated campsites with ensuite bush ablutions on each tent.
Transfer time: ~6 hours
NOTE: As the safari starts at 07.30 on Day 1 you will need to pre-night in Maun. We can assist with pre-safari arrangements. In the afternoon of your pre-night, you will have the option of taking a 45-minute flight in a helicopter with no windows and doors, allowing magnificent views from above. Rate TBA by your agent. Both experiences have to be booked prior to arrival, and payment made in USD cash only (transfers not included, extra charges apply). During the flight it is even possible to spot large game animals such as Elephant, Giraffe and Hippopotami.
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.
Chobe National Park, with its diverse and striking landscapes, will be your next destination. 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.

Game drives to explore Southern Chobe National Park.
You will then head northwards to the Chobe River where your 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. Sunsets in this region are often spectacular and allow amazing photographic opportunities. Camping will be in private designated campsites with ensuite bush ablutions on each tent. (
Transfer time: ~5 hours
Game drives to explore Northern Chobe and the floodplains.
