Okavango Delta & Moremi Game Reserve
On this first day of our mobile camping safari, you are met at the airport by your guide and companion for the next seven days. From here immediately drive out of Maun and into the Moremi Game Reserve for your first night of safari. The drive in the park is a game drive in its own right and chances of seeing wildlife are plenty. On arrival at the campsite you will set up camp with the assistance of your guide or camping assistant. Soon after, should time permit go on a late afternoon game drive and sundowner before returning to camp for overnight. We spend the evening gathered around the campfire after dinner, getting to know each other and listening to stories from your guide in the peace of the bushveld, disturbed only by the cries of the wild, under a canopy of stars.

Okavango Delta & Moremi Game Reserve
Okavango Delta & Moremi Game Reserve
After breakfast this morning we head into Moremi Game Reserve and the Okavango Delta. We spend the day exploring this pristine area teeming with wildlife. The area is characterised by many small islands, however Chief's Island, originally the hunting grounds of Chief Moremi, is a much larger tract of land and a popular spot for the wildlife when the water rises.
The Okavango oasis in this otherwise dry area is known for its superb wildlife, with large populations of mammals and excellent birding, particularly in the breeding season. A Botswana treasure, the Okavango Delta has been named one of the natural wonders of the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is an option to take a cruise through the channels in a mokoro. Guests are poled, gondolier style, in these dugout canoes getting close to the wildlife and enjoying excellent photo opportunities.
Activities include mokoro dug out canoe trips, drives and walks in the surrounding islands.

Okavango Delta
Okavango Delta
On Day three we take a boat cruise in the Delta which showcases the beauty and serenity of this area. The Okavango Delta is spread over an area of between six and fifteen thousand square kilometres of Kalahari Desert. Its existence is due to the Kavango River which flows from the Angolan Highlands, across Namibia’s Caprivi Strip and into the harsh Kalahari Desert.

Day 4-5
Khwai Area
Khwai Area
After breakfast on day four, we move camp to the Khwai Floodplains located in Moremi Game Reserve south-west of Chobe National Park. The protected ecosystems of Moremi are among the richest and most diverse in Africa. This varied terrain makes wildlife viewing in Moremi extremely exciting. One of the success stories of Moremi Game Reserve is the reintroduction of rhino which was wiped out by poaching, so the reserve can now boast that it is home to the Big 5 of Africa. Moremi is chock full of diverse wildlife and birdlife ensuring enchanting sightings on game drives. Khwai is well known as the area to find wild dog and many other predators. The Khwai River flows through the area and is a popular spot for hippos, waterbuck and crocodiles, whilst the woodlands support antelope, zebra, buffalo and giraffe. The ubiquitous elephant is here and lion, leopard and hyena are often spotted. We spend two exciting days here on wildlife viewing drives.

Savute National Park
Savute National Park
Today we move on to Savute, described as an enchanting place with vast quantities of wildlife roaming the area, but an area that has presented a conundrum over the years. Unsurprisingly Savuti means 'unpredictable' a fitting description for this channel that flows like a river and then, inexplicably, dries up. The impressive landscape is covered with lush vegetation and marshlands, but it wasn't always like this - until recently the Savuti Channel was dry and the animals relied on artificial waterholes. Around November and December and then again between February and April the Zebra migrate with many lion prides hot on their heels. Birdlife here is also amazing, with Secretary Birds and Kori Bustards often seen around the Savuti Marsh. Evenings are spent around the campfire in true safari style, replete from a three-course dinner prepared by our camp chef and served with South African wines.
Spend your time in the Savute National Park going on game drives.

Day 8-9
Chobe National Park
Chobe National Park
One of the highlights of our time in Chobe National Park is a boat cruise on the Chobe River. Chobe is well known for its huge elephant populations and the Chobe River is a popular gathering place for the herds. In the wet summer season, the birdlife is spectacular as the migrant bird population is in full colour and, with over 450 species having been identified, it is extremely prolific. We explore Chobe on game viewing drives in our open safari vehicle, cameras at the ready for the next exciting shot.
We venture on to the Chobe Floodplains which from the riverside may seem deserted but get into the long grass and the plains come alive with buffalo and elephant herds. Look out for wild dog, lion, leopard, bushbuck, puku, giraffe, cheetah, zebra. Back at camp, we tuck into dinner and an evening relaxing around the campfire under a canopy of stars.
