A Private Okavango Retreat
Your arrival at Maun Airport in Botswana opens this tour and you’ll fly out by private charter to the northern Okavango Delta and Xugana Island Lodge. Set under giant trees on a private island, Xugana is a true water camp. Guests explore this beautiful corner of the delta by boat, canoe, and on foot. Begin the day with a mokoro (canoe) excursion, your expert guide pointing out birds and frogs as you drift along crystal-clear rivers. Island-hopping walking safaris reveal the delta’s astonishing wealth of wildlife and you’ll enjoy star-lit suppers and a convivial fireside ambiance back at camp.

Discover the Savute Wildlife Magic
Another short flight begins the day. You’ll leave the beautiful Okavango Delta behind you and touch down in the middle of the Chobe National Park – a place called Savute. Enjoy two nights at Savute Safari Lodge, its luxurious chalets overlooking the now-flowing Savute Channel. You can watch elephants and antelope in the water below you but the real drama is found on Savute’s game drives. Expert guides lead morning and afternoon drives in the search for Savute’s most famous residents – elephants, lions, and spotted hyenas. Leopards patrol Savute’s isolated rocky hills, cheetahs watch the impala herds and in summer, a great zebra migration transforms the landscape.
