Arrive at Kasane Airport and collect your hire 4×4.

Drive to Chobe Game Lodge for a three-night stay in the Chobe National Park, a great patchwork of deep, dense forest, sprawling wetlands and zebra-grazed grasslands.

Located on the banks of the stunning Chobe River, the lodge is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and abundant wildlife. The lodge provides luxurious accommodation and exceptional service, ensuring a comfortable and memorable stay for guests.

The woodlands of Chobe National Park provide the perfect setting for extraordinary safari excursions. A sunrise game drive catches the animals at their most-active time of day while a Chobe River safari cruise ushers you into the realm of crocodiles, hippos and the elephants that come down to drink and play in the water. The park’s beautiful wetlands also lure a wealth of birdlife to the region, and you may glimpse many of the 460 species.

Enjoy a choice of land and water-based activities offering one of the most complete wildlife experiences in Chobe National Park.

Expert guides lead early morning and late afternoon game drives in electric safari vehicles, providing a quiet, immersive way to explore the park. You may also experience silent river safaris aboard solar-powered electric boats on the Chobe River.

There are excellent chances of seeing elephants — around 120,000 roam the park — along with impala, buffalo and possibly lions.

A full day excursion to Victoria Falls, one of the world’s great natural wonders.

Drive into Zimbabwe’s rolling highveld for an unforgettable exploration of Victoria Falls. Here, the Zambezi plunges more than 350 feet into the gorge below, sending up the billowing mist that inspired its original name, Mosi oa Tunya — The Smoke That Thunders.

The sheer power and beauty of the falls will leave you speechless. You can feel the mist on your face as you walk along the trails, taking in the panoramic views from various viewpoints. The lush greenery surrounding the falls adds to the natural beauty of the area. It’s a place where you can truly appreciate the wonders of nature and feel a sense of awe and reverence.

A visit to Victoria Falls is an experience that will stay with you forever.

Return to the lodge for dinner.

Cross into Namibia and drive into the Caprivi Strip, now known as the Bwabwata National Park, the long, narrow panhandle of the country. Stay for two nights in a beautifully appointed luxury tent at an intimate. boutique riverside lodge.

Choose between a game drive or a guided bush walk in Bwabwata National Park, part of Africa’s largest transfrontier conservation area and home to approximately 295,000 elephants. The region is a paradise for birders with over 450 species, and sightings may include buffalo, sable and roan antelope, waterbuck, lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, wild dog and hippo.

Continue through the Bwabwata National Park for a further two-night stay at another luxury tented camp.

Enjoy a tranquil river cruise, ideal for birdwatching and wildlife viewing along the waterways.

Head south to Maun and settle into your luxury lodge. This afternoon includes a special giraffe encounter, offering the chance to observe these elegant animals up close, learn how to identify individuals, and understand the importance of ongoing conservation efforts.

After breakfast fly from Maun to Camp Moremi for a two-night stay in a luxury safari tent. This camp is only accessible at this time of year by small aircraft. You will have a fantastic birds-eye view of the Okavango Delta. Have your camera ready!

You will arrive at Camp Moremi around lunch time. After check-in and lunch, you have the option to join a guided game drive led by one of the lodge’s professional guides. Get your camera and binoculars ready, sit back and enjoy the adventure of looking for wildlife!

Your stay at Camp Moremi includes two scheduled activities offered by the camp: guided game drives or a boat cruise safari in the Xakanaxa Lagoon and channels. Adventure awaits!

You’re staying in one of the loveliest tented camps anywhere in Moremi Game Reserve at Camp Moremi. Trees surround and shade the camp, and the safari tents will make you feel like you’re sleeping in your own private corner of the Okavango Delta.

Wildlife, including elephants, often wanders through camp, and there’s a pool, and appealing lounge, dining and bar areas.

Transfer by air to Xugana Island, also in the Okavango Delta.

The land becomes a maze of water, islands, and channels. Elephants come in their hundreds. Buffalo, too. Antelope scatter through the shallows like quicksilver, and lions follow the paths they make, on the hunt. A fish eagle cries, sharp and high. Storks march through the water on legs as long as reeds.

In the heart of this ecological wonder, water finds a place to rest in the Xugana Lagoon. This is widely regarded as the most beautiful of all the permanent water sites in the Okavango Delta, and Xugana Island Lodge is your stunning springboard to experience it.

Take the motorboat through the channels, the morning air cool on your face. This is an entirely different perspective of the wilderness, seen from its shimmering heart. Stillness meets quiet thrill. Waterways lead to lagoons awake with life. Channels weave like liquid pathways through a maze of papyrus, and you have the chance to see the elephants and hippos that carved them.

Drift in a mokoro (traditional dugout canoe), the pole cutting clean lines through the water. Reeds whisper as you drift past, dragonflies hover like suspended light, and the air is alive with the quiet chorus of frogs and birds. From this eye-level vantage point, every detail becomes sharper—the curve of a water lily, the flicker of a tiny reed frog. It’s a journey that invites you to exhale, listen, and simply be.

Leave Xugana Island and fly to Maun or Kasane for a return flight home.
