Day 1: Johannesburg - Maun - Okavango Delta

Today your Okavango safari begins. You will have a morning flight from Johannesburg to Maun per scheduled departure which then connects with your flight to the Delta.

The lodge where you will stay for the next 2 nights is in the seasonal floodplains of the Okavango, providing drama and excitement at every turn. Once you have settled in and refreshed after your journey, there will time for an afternoon activity. There is something special about this area during the dry season and the floodwaters are at their highest - your experienced guides will explain this phenomenon to you in detail.

Day 2: Okavango

Your activities today will depend on the water levels and could include game drives, boat rides or nature walks and the highlight of all - the personal interaction with semi-habituated Elephants. During a walk with the Elephants you will become acquainted with these gentle giants and learn a little more about their habits. This is a life changing experience, and one you will treasure for years to come.

The afternoon activity allows you to gain more insight into this unique region as you explore the floodplains and the islands. Sundowners can be enjoyed at a scenic spot before returning to the lodge for dinner. As you sit around the campfire or lie in your bed you will be overwhelmed by a sense of having done something special.

Day 3: Okavango - Moremi

Today there is a short flight across the Delta to the Moremi Game Reserve where you will spend the next 2 nights in an area that is thought by most people to be the predator capital of Africa. This region is a place of choice for countless wildlife documentary makers, and you will be awed at every turn. There will be time for an afternoon activity before a sumptuous dinner under starry skies.

Day 4: Moremi

You rise early today in anticipation of what lies ahead today. The afternoon drive the day before was just an introduction of what this legendary area has to offer. Nutritious floodplains and islands provide a haven for abundant wildlife, which also attracts predators in numbers. You will come to appreciate the Africa of old here as well as the exceptional beauty of this area.

During the heat of the day you could have a siesta or opt for a wellness spa treatment before the afternoon drive. Your experienced guides know the individual animals and their habits and will search for the best game viewing opportunities. There is much to see but you may have time for a sundowner before heading back to the lodge.
