Around 10% of the world’s population of wattled cranes call this area home. Alongside them, countless other bird species can be observed, including some that are rarely seen elsewhere.
A truly spectacular sight awaits in the grasslands: herds of thousands of black lechwe antelopes moving across the plains, one of the continent’s most impressive natural phenomena.
Your nights will be spent at Nsobe Campsite – two nights on a full-board basis – right at the edge of the swamps. Each day ends beneath the clear African night sky, leaving you with a profound sense of vastness. (B/L/D).
