Day 1, Johannesburg to Khama Rhino Sanctuary

An early start and a long way to go as we depart Johannesburg and head north into Botswana. Passing through Serowe, birthplace of Botswana's first president, on our way to the Khama Rhino Sanctuary - home of white rhino, zebra and wildebeest. Our first game drive takes us around the Malema and Serwe Pans.

Day 2, Khama Rhino Sanctuary to Central Kalahari

Travelling north into central Botswana we find the pristine and remote Central Kalahari Game Reserve. This reserve is characterized by salt pans, vast open plains and ancient river beds.

Using 4WD vehicles we explore one of the largest game reserves in the world looking for grazing herds of Zebra, Wildebeest, Springbok and Oryx which might lead us to the famous Kalahari Lions.

Day 6, Okavango Delta

Today is a free day for you to spend at your leisure. The variety of optional activities range from game walks to swimming. Relax and take in the beauty of your surroundings.

Day 7, Okavango Delta

Early morning and late afternoon game walks give you time in the middle of the day to relax, chill out and enjoy your surroundings. Why don't you have a go at poling your own mokoro? It is not as easy as it looks!

Day 8, Okavango Delta to Nxai Pan (via Maun)

From the Delta we make our way to the fossil lake beds of the Nxai Pans which forms the beautifully unique Nxai National Park.

Day 9, Nxai Pan

The Nxai pans are surrounded with Baobab and Umbrella trees and covered with short nutritious grass that attracts the wildlife we are coming to see! We spend our time game driving through the Nxai Pan National Park and make a stop at the famous 'Baines Baobabs' which is always a highlight.

Travelling north we enter the Chobe National Park- famous for its herds of Elephant. We camp in the park and enjoy Africa at its best.
