Transfer to Chobe National Park

After a final breakfast at Palm River, a scenic road transfer takes you across the border into Botswana and into the Chobe Forest Reserve, where the luxurious Ngoma Safari Lodge awaits. Your elegant suite features a plunge pool, outdoor shower, and uninterrupted views over the Chobe River and floodplains, where elephants and antelope roam freely.

Following a warm welcome and light lunch, set out on your first game drive in Chobe National Park, known for its dramatic elephant concentrations, buffalo herds, and the occasional big cat encounter. Pause at a scenic lookout for sundowners as the sky ignites in shades of orange and crimson. Return to the lodge for pre-dinner drinks on the deck, followed by a gourmet dinner infused with local flavours and accompanied by the sounds of the African night.

Day 4

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.

Day 5

Into the Okavango

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. Return for sunset drinks and a multi-course dinner by candlelight in the main lodge or even in a private bush setting, weather permitting.

Day 6

Delta Discovery

Delta Discovery

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. Dinner tonight is a refined affair, paired with South African wines and good conversation beneath a million stars.

Day 7

Final day on Safari

Final day on Safari

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. Perhaps today is the day you find the rare sitatunga antelope, or witness a herd of red lechwe bounding through shallow water.

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. As night falls, enjoy your farewell dinner, shared with your guide or in quiet privacy — a moment to reflect on a journey of beauty, stillness, and raw wildness.
