Day 1
Welcome to Johannesburg! You’ll be met at the door of your aircraft with your name on a paging board and assisted through immigration, baggage collection, and customs. Your journey continues with a shared transfer flight from the lodge to Kasane Airport. Upon your arrival, your driver will transfer you to your luxurious accommodations at Chobe Game Lodge, the only safari lodge situated within Chobe National Park. Located directly on the game rich Chobe River, the lodge boasts unhindered views of the river and beyond, to the Caprivi floodplains of Namibia.

Day 3
After breakfast, you will be transferred the Kasane Airport for your flight to Savute. Stretching from the Linyanti River all the way to Savute Marsh, the winding waterways of the Savute Channel have pumped life into the western section of Chobe National Park for many thousands of generations. Sink into one of the numerous comfortable leather, wood or wicker sofas in the lounge – and library – or sip a cocktail in the stylish bar. All these facilities are situated in a beautiful two-storey thatch-and-timber main building. Savute Safari Lodge offers a shaded viewing deck, an al fresco dining area and swimming pool with spectacular pool loungers – ideal for watching the varied wildlife – including the resident Elephants – as they make their way to the Channel to drink, bathe and play.

You will incorporate a visit to the Savute Marsh to give you a chance to see the historic presence of the Savute Channel at the marsh against a backdrop of teeming wildlife. You can also enjoy a visit to the ancient San rock paintings at Gubatsa Hills – a small hilly outcrop which forms a prominent landmark in the otherwise flat landscape.

Day 5
Time to move to your next stop in Botswana. Enjoy a short bush plane flight to the Moremi area of the Okavango Delta. Camp Moremi has a well-deserved legacy in the Botswana tourism industry for being able to deliver the classic African safari experience. Completely rebuilt in 2018 as a modern luxury safari lodge, Camp Moremi is located within the world-renowned Moremi Game Reserve. Camp Moremi’s communal areas include a sunken bar, masterfully built around a large termite mound and ebony tree, an expansive lounge area with a beautiful brass and soft finishes, leading towards an extended library and private deck.

Day 8
And you are on the move again, this time to a beautiful private island, Nxamaseri Island. The lodge is a unique African experience on the permanent waters of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. A small, exclusive lodge, it is one of the oldest in the Okavango Delta. The distinct style of Nxamaseri Island Lodge showcases the beauty of the permanent swamp that is it’s home and subtly expresses the rich vibrance of the indigenous people. Nxamaseri Island Lodge is one of the oldest camps in the Okavango Delta. It was established in the early 1980s by PJ and Barney Bestelink. PJ, an experienced guide, spent months exploring the permanent water channels of the delta in search of a perfect location for his home and camp. He favoured the Nxamaseri Channel for its beauty and seclusion, and eventually elected to build his lodge on a large shady island hidden in the Nxamaseri waterways. Locally inspired, Nxamaseri Island Lodge celebrates the colourful vibrance of the Botswana culture. Enjoy incredible views of the panhandle from the lounge area which has comfortable seating and plenty of good books to browse.

Day 9
Today, you can choose a guided walk on a nearby island, accessed by boat or mokoro, giving you the opportunity to experience the intimacy and piece of unspoiled Africa. Exploring the islands on foot is an effective way of relaxing and finding the more timid, forest-dwelling birds. Or you can enjoy a safari by mokoro (dug-out canoe). There is no better way to experience the stillness and beauty of the Okavango Delta than to be poled on the water silently, gliding just inches above the crystal clear surface, eye-level with dragon flies, reed frogs and water lilies and within touching distance of the myriad of colourful fish that swim just below the surface. Or simply relax and take in the beautiful island.

Day 10
Next, board your onward flight to your wonderful accommodations at Leroo La Tau. Built on cliffs over 10 meters high, Leroo La Tau offers unsurpassed views of the Boteti River and Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. Leroo La Tau is situated on the western bank of the Boteti River, which forms the boundary of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. The Boteti River provides a lifeline for the wildlife which inhabit the arid national park and is a critical link in the annual zebra migration. Leroo La Tau is the perfect base from which to explore this truly unique piece of Botswana paradise.

Days 11-12
The next two days are yours at leisure. Leroo La Tau comes alive during the magnificent zebra migration from April through December. Go on game drives with experienced guides and, if the water levels of the Boteti River are high enough, enjoy boat activities as well. Take a cultural excursion to Khumaga Village and take guided nature walks in the area surrounding the lodge.
