Maun - Okavango Delta
Wake up early for a full breakfast before you join your guide for island-guided walks. The lush, fragrant vegetation and your anticipation of unexpected discoveries create a heady atmosphere. You'll hear movement in the trees and see signs of animal life. Your experienced guide will identify animal tracks and examine droppings, giving insight into the way of life of the creature and its habits. Bird watching is a highlight on island walks, you can spot many migrants amongst resident birds, especially in the summer, and of course, there are plenty of wetland species to look out for. Islands can turn into breeding havens when the floodwaters have receded, revealing ample food supplies which were hidden under the water. You could spot long-toed, lapwings and herons amongst many other species. Return back to the camp for brunch before your afternoon activity.
Shower then have dinner in the evening and share your experience, before your good night's sleep.

Okavango Delta to Khwai Concession
In the morning, the chef will prepare breakfast while the African Jacana Team packs our tents. We will then return via mokoro to Boro station and then drive to Khwai Concession. On our way to Khwai, we will enjoy a bonus game drive as we keep an eye out for nearby animals. When you arrive at the campsite, you will eat a prepared meal and then go on an afternoon game drive.
Khwai is a community-run reserve that is a really good area with good resident wildlife and beautiful landscape. Being community-run, Khwai also gives back to the surrounding villages so that wildlife and conservation also become an important part of the people living in the area. Khwai also allows off-road which might be a very good chance for you to see animals very closer.
