Dinner at the campfire.

Day 4 - Nxai Pan – Makgadigadi NP

Day 6, 7 & 8 - Moremi Game Reserve
We rise early and after coffee/tea and a healthy snack we board our game viewing vehicle.

An extensive lunch is served en route or in camp. Early mornings and late afternoons are set aside for game viewing until sunset, A game drive takes us to the Khwai river, famous for its big concentration of game.

After dinners are served, there is time to chat and relax around the campfire.

During our stay we make a daytrip to the Xakanaxa area of Moremi which gives an idea how the centre of the delta looks like and we make a night drive along the Khwai learning us about the nocturnal wildlife.

Day 9 - Chobe National Park Savuti area.
An interesting game drive  takes us away of Moremi, traveling north via the Mababe Depression to the Savuti area, our next camp.

The Savuti area with wide open grassy plains and scattered rocky outcrops is the perfect area for large

herds of elephants, zebra and wildebeest and giraffe

families, not forgetting the many predators that follow them.

Day 10 - Chobe National Park, Chobe River front.
We make a last short game drive before heading north through the Mopane and Teak bush from the Chobe Forest Reserve to arrive at the Chobe River where we set up camp.

Our time here is spent game viewing along the banks of the Chobe River, the drinking station for large herds of elephants and buffalo. The area has one of the densest animal populations in Africa.

Day 11 - Kasane
After an early breakfast we head out of the Park to arrive in Kasane for lunch. In the afternoon we join a boat trip on the Chobe river where we come face to face with elephants, hippos, crocs and many other animals.

We arrive in camp after sunset and have the opportunity to visit the floodlit waterhole of our campsite.

Day 12 - Victoria Falls day trip
We cross the border into Zimbabwe where a minibus takes us the last stretch to the world famous Victoria Falls. We visit the colonial Victoria Falls Hotel and visit the falls. After lunch there is time for a visit to the craft markets or for an optional helicopter flight over the falls. Return in camp before sundown.

Day 13 - Nata Sanctuary
