The region is renowned for its incredible game viewing, and you will see large herds of plains game. The region is known for groups of lonesome Bull Elephants and a pride of Lions that used to hunt Elephants.
You'll then move on to the renowned Chobe region. Here you'll explore the floodplains along the Chobe River and see the biggest herds of Elephants in the world, as well as Giraffe and rarer animals such as Sable and Puku.
