Chobe Exploration – River and Land Encounters
Chobe Exploration – River and Land Encounters
Wake before dawn for fresh coffee and a light breakfast before heading out on an early morning game drive. The cooler temperatures offer the best chance to see predators on the move — lions returning from a hunt, hyenas skulking in the shadows, and leopards melting into the bush. Return to the lodge for a hearty brunch and time to rest, perhaps dipping into your private plunge pool while elephants graze below.
In the afternoon, embark on a boat safari along the Chobe River, a serene yet thrilling way to observe hippos, crocodiles, fish eagles, and herds of elephants swimming across the channel. The golden light of sunset paints the water in rich hues as your guide positions the boat for perfect photographic moments. Back at the lodge, dine in the boma beneath a canopy of stars, accompanied by traditional music and storytelling if desired.

Into the Okavango
Enjoy one last breakfast with views of the Chobe floodplain before transferring to Kasane Airport for your light aircraft flight deep into the heart of the Okavango Delta. From the air, marvel at the intricate tapestry of glistening waterways, reed beds, and islands below. Touch down at the private airstrip near Kanana Camp, where you’re greeted with warm towels, a chilled drink, and the sounds of nature surrounding you.
Your luxury tented suite is a peaceful haven, raised on wooden decking and offering panoramic views of the seasonal floodplains. After lunch and a short rest, head out on your first Delta activity — perhaps a mokoro excursion, where you glide silently through lily-dotted channels, spotting tiny frogs, colourful birds, and passing antelope.

Today, immerse yourself fully in the diversity of the Okavango. Begin with a morning game drive in open 4x4s, seeking out lions lounging in the shade, leopards draped in trees, and elusive servals dancing through the tall grass. Your guide tailors each experience to your interests — be it big cats, birds, or the intricate web of Delta ecology.
After lunch and a rest in camp, head out for a motorboat safari or another mokoro glide, depending on water levels. Alternatively, take a guided bush walk to learn about medicinal plants, insect life, and tracking skills. As the sun sets, sip your drink with feet in the water or toes in the sand, absorbing the raw beauty of the wilderness.

Your last full day in the Delta invites a balance of adventure and serenity. Rise early for a sunrise game drive with coffee stops in the bush, tracking the movements of predators and observing the subtle changes in the landscape.

During the midday heat, relax in your room or take a refreshing swim in the pool. In the afternoon, visit the Kanana heronry (in season) — a vital breeding site for thousands of birds and a spectacular sight for any wildlife lover.
