Day to day itinerary

Day 1: Victoria Falls: Explorers Village Campsite
Arrive at Victoria Falls to a warm welcome by your safari guide or representative who will give you a short brief and hand over your tour file with all necessary vouchers and detailed itinerary if you have not yet received this via email. Arrive at the static, ready made campsite in time for check in and freshening up before you are picked up for your Zambezi River Sunset Cruise. This is a 2 hour sunset boat cruise including all drinks and light finger snacks.

Day 2: Victoria Falls – Chobe National Park
Today you will have an early morning wakeup call before your guide picks you up for a guided Tour of the Falls. Depart Victoria Falls around 0900hrs after an early morning breakfast. Arrive in Chobe National Park by 09h00 in time for a morning boat cruise ending with lunch at one of the lodges along the Chobe River. Soon after lunch drive into the Chobe National Park for a full afternoon game drive and sundowner drinks arriving at Camp just after sunset for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Savute National Park
We head further south within Chobe National Park, were we spend the following night camping at a pristine bush campsite in the Savute region and exploring the dry landscape on game drives. Savute is an area that can change dramatically, with the character of the place changing completely depending on the flowing or drying up of the Savute Channel. In 2010, water from the Savute Channel reached the Marsh for the first time in three decades (after a long dry period during which resident lions learned to prey on elephants coming to drink at isolated waterholes). The presence of water can transform these dynamics and the only way to find out what will happen next, is to visit Savute with us and see for yourself!

Day 4: Moremi Game Reserve
The day’s journey follows this water course, with the track weaving from the riverside and floodplains into the mopane veld and the woodlands that make Khwai one of the most scenic areas of the Okavango entering Moremi through the North Gate near Khwai River. Moremi is amongst the best game reserves in Africa for viewing the endangered African wild dog. Xakanaxa is home to a resident herd of several hundred buffalo whose range covers the territories of at least 4 prides of lion which may often be seen flanking the ever moving herd. Breeding herds of elephant move between their browsing areas in the mopane forests and the fresh water of the Okavango. Red lechwe are one of the more unusual antelope species and commonly found here.

Day 5: Moremi Game Reserve
Full day of activities in the Moremi Game Reserve. Moremi is amongst the best game reserves in Africa for viewing the endangered African wild dog. Xakanaxa is home to a resident herd of several hundred buffalo whose range covers the territories of at least 4 prides of lion which may often be seen flanking the ever-moving herd.

Day 6: Okavango Delta
Moremi Game Reserve encompasses the central and eastern edges of the Okavango Delta. This day will be spent going on a mokoro dug-out canoe activities exploring the swamps of the Okavango Delta. Habitats here range from wide-open floodplains, marshes, lagoons, papyrus fringed channels, vast stands of Miscanthus and Phragmites, woodland and savannah. As a result of the extremely variable habitat the diversity of both wildlife and birdlife is excellent.

Day 7: Maun
Following breakfast and an early morning game drive, you will exit Moremi and drive to Maun where the tour ends.
