Day 2
Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls
Your day starts with breakfast while enjoying the morning sunshine. Breakfast is followed by a visit to Victoria Falls rainforest where you will spend the morning enjoying the breathtaking beauty of the falls.
The town of Victoria Falls is located alongside the Zambezi River. Since it is also situated in the Zambezi National Park you may come across a troop of Baboons in the center of town, or a sounder of warthogs, or a herd of elephants crossing the road.
After lunch, you may spend the afternoon at leisure either exploring the town, relaxing at the lodge, or discovering other activities that Victoria Falls has to offer. This will be at your own expense. There is something to do for everyone – white water rafting, swimming in the Devil’s pool, bungee jumping, gorge swings, zip lines, Victoria Falls Helicopter ride or ‘flight of angels’, elephant encounters, fishing, safari adventures, and many more.
Deciding what to do can be overwhelming, so please ask your guide for assistance.

Time to say goodbye to Victoria Falls and head to Kazungula Border Post where you will cross into Botswana and start your 4-5 hour journey to Savuti. This will be in the form of a game drive as you will be driving through the Chobe National Park - believed to be the best “year-round wildlife photography destination in Africa” until you reach Savuti.

Savuti
Savuti
You’ll wake up before sunrise for a quick, light breakfast then head out for your early morning game drive. You’ll explore Savuti’s enchanting landscapes with opportunities to enjoy up-close-and-personal encounters with an exciting mix of elephants, zebras, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, lions, spotted hyenas, and more. There’s also an abundance of bird life.
The Savuti lion pride has earned a fearsome reputation for hunting elephants. You’ll have the best chance of seeing a hunt during the cool morning hours when most animals are more active. You’ll have the choice of heading back to camp for lunch or staying out on your game drive. A picnic lunch will be served at a scenic spot chosen by your guide. You'll continue on your game drive. Thereafter, you'll enjoy a blissful sunset as the animals once again take advantage of the cooler weather to become more active.
You’ll head back to camp at sunset to enjoy an evening around the campfire.

Savuti to Khwai Concession
On a moving day like today, you’ll grab everything you want to bring along with you for the whole day out in the bush. After your early morning breakfast and morning game drive, you’ll travel south to Khwai. The entire drive takes place through game-rich areas and varying landscapes and is therefore an extension of your daily game drives. A picnic lunch will be served en route. Finally, when the sun sets, you’ll arrive at your new camp to find everything already set up and waiting for you to enjoy.
The eastern Mopane forest is home to breeding herds of elephants. Bull elephants hang along the riverside most of the year and revel in the cool water of the Khwai. While drinking and bathing, they are far more approachable here than among the breeding herds.
The river also has a high density of hippos, as well as crocodiles, leopards, lions, and cheetahs. Khwai is included in the home ranges of different packs of wild dogs.

Day 7
Khwai to Xakanaxa, with a Mokoro Safari
Khwai to Xakanaxa, with a Mokoro Safari
Today is a day filled with adventure! Following an early morning breakfast, you will go on your morning activity. Khwai is an ideal location for a Mokoro (shallow canoe) safari, so you'll have a chance to explore the Okavango and go to places only accessible by Mokoro. You'll be able to photograph aquatic birds, plants, and water lilies at eye level as you'll be low to the water. During this excursion, you'll be guided by an expert "poler" (a guide at the rear of the boat that moves it along with a long pole) through the bulrushes (plants) and marshes. Mokoro excursions are dependent on the water level in the channel. If the water isn't high enough, then all our activities will be game drives, including night drives.
After your Mokoro excursion, you’ll take a slow drive to Moremi Game Reserve, complete with an open-air picnic. Just keep your hand on your camera because you'll pass the magnificent Dombo Hippo pools, stopping to enjoy the scenery and the antics of the resident hippos.
