Tania - OverlandingAfrica.com13 Oct 2010: Hi Naomi, Our 15 day Kalahari and Okavango Delta trip spends 2 nights in the Central Kalahari which gives you a full day of game driving. This is a group overland tour but for this section you will be split into smaller groups and use smaller game viewing vehicles.
naomi gutman13 Oct 2010: how many days are there tours around the safari? or is it all in groups, or can you stay as long as u want?
