Exploring Chobe National Park

This morning you wake up early in the morning for a light breakfast. Thereafter, you will head out to Chobe National Park for your morning game drive.

Tucked up in Botswana’s far northeastern border with Namibia, Chobe is one of the great wildlife destinations of Africa. At approximately 11 900sq km, Chobe is made up of rich ecosystems and pristine landscapes consisting of savanna plains, river, swamps and scrubs. It is the ultimate haven for vast herds of elephant. As many as 120,000 animals depend on the Chobe River’s life–sustaining waterways when the dry season kicks in.

Other resident game species are large herds of buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, the rare puku, roan and sable antelope. These are normally trailed by the notoriously fearless lions of the Chobe, leopard and cheetah.

You will return to your lodge around noon for your lunch.

Head out again into Chobe in the afternoon for your game drive and return to your lodge just before sunset.

Day 4

Kasane - Savuti

Kasane - Savuti

This morning you leave your lodge once again after breakfast and head southwards to Savuti where you are going to spend one (1) night of your safari vacation.

Savuti is known for its predators, both big cats (lion, leopard and cheetah) and birds of prey–raptors, vultures and all manner of birds of prey that soar over Savuti’ landscape in search of food. Perhaps the strangest phenomenon of all about Savuti is the 100–kilometres Savuti Channel. At times it will stop flowing and remain dry for years at a stretch. When the Savuti Channel recommences its flow, it changes the entire ecosystem, transforming the Savuti Marsh and Mababe Depression into
wetlands and thus creating an oasis that provides water for thirsty wildlife herds and acts as a magnet for a profusion of water birds.

Your days will be spent searching for Savuti’s resident wildlife. You will undertake morning and afternoon game drives to survey the wide–open grasslands and captivating scenery of the Savuti.

At about 1800–square kilometres large, the Khwai is situated in the northeastern Okavango next to Moremi.
