Day 1

Arrive in Maun and Fly to the Delta

Arrive in Maun and Fly to the Delta

You'll arrive into northern Botswana at Maun Airport, the nearest international airport to the Okavango Delta and Moremi Game Reserve. From here, you'll take a roughly 30-minute light aircraft flight to your accommodation at Pom Pom Camp.

This is an intimate, eco-friendly camp right in the heart of the Delta. It has just nine luxury safari tents and has great wildlife viewing particularly for lions and leopards.

Watch hippos splash in the lagoon, enjoy sundowners and relax by the campfire. You'll stay in one of Pom Pom Camp's nine Meru-style tents, secluded in the shade of trees (there is also a family tent, close to the main lodge).

Main Destination:
Okavango Delta (Botswana)
Best Time To Visit July to October (Best wildlife viewing)

Day 2-3

Explore the Okavango Delta

Explore the Okavango Delta

Pom Pom Island is the perfect place to start your exploration of the delta, paddling from island to island. Spot wildlife drinking or swimming in the water, go on game drives and try your hand at birdwatching. You may be lucky enough to spot beautiful bird species such as the pied kingfisher, African jacana or rare Pel's fishing owl.

The wildlife viewing should be incredible from this camp. Seeing the ‘Big Five’ although elephants, lions, leopards and buffalo abound in Botswana, rhinos are a little harder to come by. They were poached out of the country completely and only recently, since the early 2000s have they started to be reintroduced into protected areas in the Delta. They are doing well and they are dispersing widely, however, it is still a very lucky sighting to have.

After a final morning game drive at Pom Pom Camp, you'll take a short flight to the Khwai Concession, located in the greater Okavango Delta region, where you'll be staying at Machaba Camp for the next three nights.

With Moremi Game Reserve to the south and Chobe National Park to the east, the wildlife in this concession is really reliable and productive as it is in between two of the most iconic wildlife areas in Botswana.

It is also a really beautiful concession, with a mixture of stunning channels, floodplains and mature woodlands, making this area a rich and diverse habitat for a wide range of species. In particular, the reserve is noted for its huge herds of elephants and buffalo and there are reliable sightings of wild dogs.
