Day 1 ~ Maun to Moremi Game ReserveDay 1 ~ Maun to Moremi Game Reserve

The safari departs from the Okavango Roadside Guesthouse at 0730hrs, or earlier, after

breakfast, passing through the village of Shorobe en route, heading for South Gate where we

enter the Moremi Game Reserve which is part surrounded by the Okavango Delta and cited by

many as the most beautiful game reserve in Africa and rated as Africa's premier wildlife

reserve.

The drive to South Gate normally takes two hours provided the drive has not been delayed by

game spotting on the way.

On arrival at South Gate, whilst the Professional Guide attends to the necessary paperwork

required for entry into the reserve, refreshments will be provided during this short break.

The journey continues through the Moremi Game Reserve , game spotting on the way, until our

designated camping ground is reached, about a two hour drive from South Gate.

Time to relax and stretch the legs, enjoy a leisurely lunch followed by a relaxation period during

which the professional guide will deliver a short briefing about the reserve and other

information regarding the safari, before commencing at around 1530 hrs an afternoon game

drive into areas of interest which offer excellent game viewing.

Return to camp for pre-dinner refreshments, followed by a 3-course dinner under a tented canvas

gazebo or under the southern, Milky Way star lit skies, relaxing for a while in conversation,

reflecting on the day’s activities and sightings in the warm ambiance of the campfire, listening

to the calls of the hyenas and lions before retiring for the night in cosy tents fitted with

comfortable beds.

Day 2 Day 2 Day 2 --- Moremi Game ReserveMoremi Game ReserveMoremi Game Reserve

An early morning wake up call for tea or coffee with breakfast cereals and nibbles prepares one for

the early morning game drive, leaving camp at or just before sunrise for game viewing, maybe

spotting the big cats as they follow the herds of buffalo, groups of impala and other game

which roam this island.

The main part of the morning to be spent exploring the unique areas of this part of Moremi Game

Reserve before arriving back at the camp late morning where brunch will be ready and when

ready we depart on our way through the Reserve towards South Gate where we leave Moremi

Game Reserve and head for Maun, a drive of just over two hours back to Okavango Roadside

Guest house.

The game viewing routes chosen on the day by the Professional Guide may differ from the above.

When a high flood is experienced, as is expected this year, certain roads may be closed or

impassable, but our guides will endeavor to pass through the most interesting areas offering the best

game viewing and scenic views available on the day.

DayDayDay 1 & 2: Chobe National Park 1 & 2: Chobe National Park 1 & 2: Chobe National Park

The Chobe river floodplain is undoubtedly one of the

greatest wildlife areas on the continent and one is

sometimes overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of

animals. Here we divide our time between game

drives along the river and in the forest and a boat

cruise on the Chobe River which is one of the high-

lights of the trip. We will also have some time to do

some curio shopping in the village of Kasane before

heading to our campsite in the Chobe National

Park, this a true wildlife paradise and one of the best

national parks in Southern Africa. Just one peek at

the variety of wildlife and lush vegetation and you

will be mesmerized forever! Boat cruises and game

drives along the river are very popular. The natural

environment of the park allows for excellent

photographic experiences

DayDayDay 3 & 4: Savuti 3 & 4: Savuti 3 & 4: Savuti

Depart to Savuti- we will be travelling through wilderness area for

the whole journey. This is a day that puts into perspective the sheer

size of this wilderness area. Savuti lies in an ancient lake bed that

is punctuated with small rocky-hills (kopjes), some of which hold

ancient San rock paintings. Here we explore the Savuti marsh and

river bed for the abundant wildlife of this timeless place, including

its famous elephant and lion population. Wild dog are also

regularly seen as well as a large variety of other mammals. Savuti

is a favored area of wildlife photographers and film- makers and

many well-known wildlife documentaries have been filmed here.

In this area we will be doing our evening and morning game

drives.

DayDayDay 4 & 5: Khwai4 & 5: Khwai4 & 5: Khwai

Here we will camp in a private campsite in the heart of the waterways of the Okavango Delta. Day 4

takes us on the game drive on our arrival in the evening and morning drive. The wildlife of this area

is thus spoilt for habitat: From Island to woodland, floodplain to permanent swamp. With such

diversity of habitat, time spent in this area is quite rewarding. After enjoying our early morning

breakfast and clearing our tents we start our game drive to the Eastern most extremity of the

Okavango Delta.

Day 6 & 7: Xakanaka Day 6 & 7: Xakanaka Day 6 & 7: Xakanaka --- Moremi Game ReserveMoremi Game ReserveMoremi Game Reserve

Tucked in the Western part of Moremi, Xakanaxa

and Third bridge area offer more interesting habits

for wildlife: Gigantic Mophane forest opening up to

wide open spaces of floodplains, seasonal and

permanent swamp. The Xakanaxa area is rich in

habitat and wildlife. The animals are attracted to the

narrow ribbon of water the River and this provides

for some spectacular wildlife viewing. This is an area

where lion and leopard may be seen. There is a

healthy population of plains game including Kudu,

Impala, and Zebra. Here we will spend our days do-

ing game drives and Mokoro activity and also have a

chance to relax and catch up with your diaries.

There is a great variety of birdlife along

these channels, and mammals such as

the elusive otter and majestic lechwe

may be seen. If we are lucky we may

even see an elephant cooling off in the

clear waters or catch a glimpse of the

shy sitatunga. We usually spend most

of the day out so we will pack a picnic

lunch to be enjoyed in a shady spot in

this picturesque part of Moremi. In the

evening we return to the camp

for warm shower and a hearty meal

while listening to the sounds of the

African bush at night.

Black Pools and Xini AreaBlack Pools and Xini AreaBlack Pools and Xini Area

These areas are in the south western part of Moremi. Department of Wildlife and National Parks

of Botswana has just recently added more road infrastructure to make the Xini area more

accessible than ever before. With seasonal and permanent swamp landscape, these two areas are

home to a bounty of Buffalo herds, Elephant and good lion prides. We have frequently seen

Cheetah and African Wild dog hunting in these areas.

There are only two exclusive camping areas allowed for use only by registered tour operators in

Botswana. This makes the Xini area quite attractive compared to most areas, because of lesser

tourist activities. You can enjoy predator sightings here for hours before a passing vehicle bound

for either Xakanaxa or South gate found us. Here you will be doing the whole day game drive;

you will also have a game drive on your way out to Maun.
