		Victoria Falls  more info »

Victoria Falls		The Victoria Falls are approximately 1.6 km wide with a maximum drop of 128 m. They are situated in the Zambezi River on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. They are the widest and most spectacular falls in the world, formed as the Zambezi River drops from a relatively flat plain into a narrow chasm about 120 m wide in a fracture zone in the earth's crust. Numerous islets at the crest of the falls divide the water to form a series of falls. The thick mist and huge roar produced are perceptible from a distance of about 40km, and locals named it Mosi-oa-Tunya ("smoke that thunders"). A 198 m long bridge spans the Boiling Pot, the beginning of a winding gorge of about 80 km in length through which the river flows below the falls. David Livingstone, the British explorer, visited the falls in 1855 and named them after Queen Victoria. The falls are part of two national parks.

2nd day: Botswana

		Chobe National Park  more info »

Chobe has the largest elephant herds in the world		This 12,000 km park is situated to the east of Kasane in Botswana. The dirt roads in the park are only suitable for 4x4 vehicles. The best way to view game in the reserve is by boat or game drive, which can be booked at the camps inside the park. To the north Chobe National Park borders on the Chobe River, which regularly floods large parts of the reserve. There is an abundance of game in Chobe. Among other animals, the park is home to lions, cheetah, giraffes, many antelope species, warthogs, crocodiles, hippos, baboons and monkeys. It is especially renowned for the enormous elephant herds that roam the planes and migrate to the river in the evenings to bathe and drink. There is also an abundance of bird life in Chobe National Park.

4th day: Savuti

		Chobe Marina Lodge - transfer  The Lodge will transfer you to the Kasane airport or Avis Depot depending on your requirement.

Spectacular views over the Delta		A charter flight from Kasane to the camp The impressive Flight takes approximately 30 min to the landing strip of the Camp. If affords the opportunity to view the expanse of the Okavango Delta from above and see great herds of Antelope, Elephant and Giraffe.

		Accommodation: Savuti Camp Savuti Camp is situated in an isolated part of the Linyanti Concession along the dry Savute Channel in northern Botswana. Once deep, clear and harbouring hundreds of hippos and plentiful aquatic life, the Savute Channel dried up in the 1980s due to shifts in the Linyanti Fault system. What remains is an unusual and productive ribbon of grassland that serves as a corridor and feeding ground in the surrounding woodland for a wide variety of herbivores. Savuti Camp is situated about 17 kilometres 'downstream' from the Zibadianja Lagoon - the source of the Channel; in the dry season the waterhole in front of camp is the only source of water over a large area and therefore offers excellent wildlife viewing. This intimate camp's en-suite accommodation has large walk-in tents that are raised off the ground and face onto the Savute Channel's grasslands. From the camp's thatched dining area and pub, a plunge pool and large viewing area with fire pit extend outwards on raised wooden decks towards the Channel, providing a wonderful view of the waterhole. You can explore the Channel and its environs through day and night game drives, nature walks with a guide (on request), and several well-positioned hides for safe, up-close animal viewing. Savuti Camp's 'wood-pile hide' at the waterhole in front of camp is famous for spectacular elephant viewing in the drier winter months. Game concentrations here are high, particularly in the winter dry season, and apart from abundant plains game, species such as roan and sable antelope, southern giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah, spotted hyaena, black-backed jackal and wild dog may also be encountered. In winter, this area can also be excellent for the sought-after aardvark and aardwolf, which are big ticks on anyone's mammal lists!		2 nights All Meals with activities & drinks

		Savuti  more info »

Game viewing on a grand scale		The Savuti area borders the Delta to the west and Chobe National Park to the east and is one of Africa's best known big game areas. Savuti is a place of enchantment, of beauty, and boasts one of the greatest concentrations of animals in Southern Africa. Savuti is famous for its predators, especially its resident lion and spotted hyena populations. The vegitaion of the Savuti area is mainly characterised by Camelthorn (Acacia erioloba) sandveld, Silver Terminalia (Terminalia sericea) sandveld, scrub savanna, and mopane veld. Savuti's almost desert-like landscape with a scorching sun, loose, hot sand, animals escaping the heat by clumping together in the limited available shade, and elephants lining up to get to the water supply, offer a wildlife experience you won't easily forget. Only 38 km northwest of Savuti and off the main tourist track lies Botswana's best kept secret: Linyanti and the western reaches of the Savuti Channel. Linyanti is situated in a corner of the Chobe National Park. The Linyanti Swamp is one of the most attractive areas in the park. It boasts a great diversity of game and a restful atmosphere.

6th day: Okavango Delta

		A charter flight between camps The flight affords the opportunity to view the expanse of the Okavango Delta from above and see great herds of antelope, elephant and giraffe.

		Accommodation: Xigera Camp Xigera Camp (pronounced Keejera) sits on an island in the heart of the Delta in Moremi Game Reserve. Xigera is set in what is truly a wetland paradise, surrounded as it is by deep channels and lush riverine vegetation. The camp consists of ten luxuriously furnished tented rooms each with en-suite facilities and an outdoor shower. Raised on wooden platforms and walkways, each tent offers superb views of the seasonal floodplain and lagoon and a feel of living in the midst of a riverine forest. Meals and evening drinks are enjoyed in the lounge, pub and dining area overlooking a permanently flowing channel or under the stars in a traditional African boma. For those hot days there is a small plunge pool in which to cool off.   Guests are sometimes treated to close-up views of lions or leopards using the footbridge connecting Xigera's island to the next! The camp "newspaper" (a sand pit built into the bridge to capture paw prints) is "read" each morning and provides information on unseen nightly visitors to camp. Permanent water year-round allows an unparalleled variety of activities such as mokoro trips, guided walks, game drives and motorboat outings; being the only camp in the area ensures total privacy. A mokoro ride is mandatory at this camp. On this traditional dug-out canoe, the only sounds are the rustling of the wind through the reeds, the lapping of the water against the boat, and the call of the African Fish-Eagle. The blue of the sky is mirrored in the water, broken only by large round water lily leaves and their stunning purple and white flowers. When water levels permit, game drives are an attraction. During drier years, drives are available throughout the year, but if there has been a very high flood, drives take place only from late September to April. Xigera is a delight for birdwatchers, with Pel's Fishing-Owl, African Skimmer, Slaty Egret, Wattled Crane and a host of raptors, other waterbirds and colourful kingfishers to be seen. An abundance of wildlife includes red lechwe, lion, spotted hyaena, and leopard and the highest density of the rare sitatunga antelope in the Delta.		2 nights All Meals with activities & drinks

		Okavango Delta  more info »

the Aeroplane - best travel method in the delta		The Okavango Delta is one of the most spectacular locations in the world. It is an impenetrable swamp area in the middle of the Kalahari Desert. The Okavango River, which originates in Angola spreads out into the delta through untold channels and rivulets and eventually seeps into the sand of the desert. During the months of July and August, the water table rises and water reaches the south of the delta. Untold numbers of water animals and game as well as an amazing variety of vegetation can be seen here where the desert and swamp regions meet. The delta has only been inhabited for approximately 200 years, and is still preserved in its original unspoiled state. Today though, since the Tsetse fly was eradicated, the southern part of the delta suffers from overgrazing. Tourism is restricted to the outskirts of the delta. Restrictions prevent the erection of permanent buildings and tourists are accommodated in tents. Once the tents are lifted the vegetation regenerates itself very quickly. Luxury tents are available in the heart of the delta and can only be accessed by plane from Maun

8th day: Botswana

		A charter flight between camps  The flight affords the opportunity to view the expanse of the Okavango Delta from above and see great herds of a ntelope, e lephant and g iraffe.

		Accommodation: Jack's Camp While on a trapping expedition in the Makgadikgadi Pans during the 60's, Jack Bousfield stumbled upon a site that so captured his imagination that he set up camp under an acacia with the unshakeable expectation that others would feel the same way. The choice of such a striking locale owed much to his original taste for the savage beauty of a forgotten Africa, where he lived until his tragic death in an aircraft accident in 1992. As a homage to the vision of his father, Jack's son Ralph and his partner Catherine created Jack's Camp, which was refurbished at the beginning of 2003 in traditional East African 1940's safari style. Ten green roomy and stylish canvas tents with en-suite bathrooms and indoor and outdoor showers (for those who want to feel the Kalahari breeze on their skin) have been fashioned in classical style and are set into a palm grove creating an oasis of civilization in what can be the harshest of stark environments. Persian rugs underfoot and cool cotton sheets form a striking contrast with the rugged wilderness viewed from the comfort of one's own verandah. During the wet season the landscape transforms. Clouds of flamingo and other migratory birds descend from the heavens to decorate the watery grasslands. Herds of zebra and wildebeest materialise, drawn by the lush grass, and for several months, the desert is teeming with game and predators. Guided Walks and Game drives together with Bushmen are part of the day's experiences at Jacks. A safari to Jack's Camp is also a complete desert experience focusing on species unique to the area such as aardvark, gemsbuck and springbuck. It is the only place where guests are virtually guaranteed to see the rare and elusive brown hyaena and be able to walk through the Kalahari with a gang of habituated but wild meerkats!		2 nights All Meals with activities & drinks

		Salt Pan  more info »

		Salt pans can be found throughout the Kalahari Desert. The Makgadikgadi Pan is one of the largest. Salt pans are created in desert areas where water evaoporates before it can seep into the ground, leaving a layer of minerals behind. In the heat of the day the endless salt flats create mirages that make them look like large lakes. During the rainy season the basins fill with water for a brief period, making them an attraction for both wildlife and people.

10th day: Botswana

		A charter flight from the camp to Maun The r eturn flight at the end of your stay takes place around midday and gives enough time to travel to the next destination in the afternoon.
