To top it off, you get to tick the thundering roar of the mighty Victoria Falls off your bucket list.

Itinerary

Days 01–03

Moremi Game Reserve

Today you will fly from Maun to the beautiful Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana. Moremi Game Reserve sits within the Okavango Delta – one of the world's most famous safari destinations – for a very good reason. The Big 5 is often spotted throughout the reserve, along with the famous wild dog, an incredible array of antelope, and a range of big cats. This selection of wildlife against the incredible backdrop of the waterways, forests, and plains of Moremi Game Reserve is a bucket list trip for anyone fortunate enough to visit.

Your lodge for your stay is the elegant Khwai Leadwood camp. This beautiful camp is tucked under the trees on the edge of the Khwai River. This river is all that separates the iconic Moremi Game Reserve and the concession, with hippos, elephants, and even lions crossing over from time to time.

Khwai’s biggest drawcard is undoubtedly the plentiful and extraordinary wildlife – you’ll never be bored here! Adventure and relaxation are on offer as guests live out their ultimate safari experience – from setting off on a morning walking safari to enjoying a gin and tonic overlooking the Khwai River.

Activities during your stay here:

Highlights

  • Open vehicle morning & evening game drives
  • Guided bush walks
  • Bird watching
  • Cultural tours
  • Mokoro (dugout canoe) safaris (dependent on water levels)
  • Accommodation:
  • Khwai Leadwood

Days 04–06

An Authentic Safari Experience in the Chobe Enclave

Enjoy a scenic flight transfer to Kasane with a road transfer to the Chobe Enclave, a private concession on the border of Botswana's iconic Chobe National Park. This area provides a remote and high-quality safari experience along the scenic Linyanti River, with guest accommodation in a handful of earthy camps offering a wide range of wet and dry safari activities.

Your lodge for the next three nights is Linyanti Bush Camp, situated in the Chobe Enclave. The Chobe Enclave teems with wildlife and is best known for its large herds of elephants and buffalo. Linyanti Bush Camp sits on the banks of the Linyanti Wetlands – a significant area that is one of the primary water sources during the drier months. Look forward to exceptional and diverse wildlife encounters year-round.

  • Walking safaris
  • Game viewing from hides
  • Bird watching

Victoria Falls

No trip to this part of Africa would be complete without a stay at one of the Natural Wonders of the World. Consider your bucket list upgraded with a visit to the famous Victoria Falls. Victoria Falls offers visitors not just the chance to marvel at this incredibly powerful and awe-inspiring natural wonder but also to enjoy the many activities available around the Falls.

"I cannot recommend Anja Meyer at Safari.com enough. This is our 3rd trip in 2 years that we have planned with Anja and we cannot imagine using any other travel planner. As travelers who deliberately seek experiences that go beyond the expected, and a bit of luxury that feels authentic, every single trip that we have booked with Anya has been a complex, multi country itinerary- we are definitely not easy to plan for. What sets Anja apart from other travel planners (and we have used several planners from top agencies) is her ability to partner with us and truly understand our preferences, pace and unspoken/ unwritten requirements. We would be remiss if we didn't mention her work ethic - she is incredibly responsive despite major time differences (I don't think she sleeps :) ). The results are always extraordinary journeys that feel very tailored to us. This most recent trip planned with Anja will take us across Namibia, Botswana and Mauritius - we can't wait!!"
