Detailed itinerary: 9-day Botswana Fly-in Luxury Package Safari

DAYS 1-4: Journey from Maun to Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Immerse yourself in the vast expanse of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, engaging in exceptional safari activities. Be on the lookout for distinctive species such as honey badgers, explore Deception Valley, and delve into the cultural heritage of the indigenous Bushmen.

Embark on a thrilling game drive through the Kalahari’s semi-arid sandy savannah aboard an open 4×4 vehicle, guided by a seasoned expert. Vigilantly search for the iconic Kalahari black-maned lion, and seize the opportunity to observe black rhinos, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, giraffes, warthogs, various smaller fauna, and migratory birds.

DAYS 4-6: Charter flight from Kalahari Plains airstrip to Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta is celebrated as a top-tier wildlife sanctuary globally, teeming with a vast array of animal life. The Delta enchants with its breathtaking sunsets, the nocturnal chorus of frogs, and the sight of elephants navigating the reeds, crafting an indelible experience.

Witness one of the natural world’s marvels: the inundation of the Delta. Waters journey from Angola, traversing thousands of miles to reach Botswana during the arid season, where they spread across the desert, forming an extraordinary maze of waterways and lagoons. This phenomenon attracts massive congregations of fauna, drawn by the abundance of water and lush vegetation, with predators in close pursuit.

The Okavango Delta is renowned as a top wildlife sanctuary globally, boasting a vast array of wildlife. The Delta’s annual flooding, fed by the Okavango River from distant upstream, arrives in Botswana during the dry season. This event draws large herds of animals seeking water and food, closely followed by predators. As the sun sets, you can experience this natural marvel aboard a ‘mokoro’—a traditional canoe—or a speedboat, guided by a native Okavango expert who will assist in spotting diverse species, from tiny frogs to hippos, crocodiles, the rare sitatunga, and vibrant waterbirds including Pel’s fishing owl, Slaty Egret, and Wattled Crane, along with various raptors and kingfishers.
