Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Johannesburg, South Africa to Chobe Game Lodge, Botswana
Today you'll begin by boarding your scheduled flight at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, for Kasane Airport in Botswana.
Arriving in Botswana, you will be greeted and transferred by road to Chobe Game Lodge, where you'll be spending the next two nights. Surrounded by nature and wildlife at the only game lodge in the Chobe National Park, you'll have the opportinuíty to dine while enjoying a stunning view. Get a good night's sleep and prepare for your first safari adventure in the morning.
Day 2: Chobe Game Lodge Safari
Welcome to your "wild" start in Botswana!
Your first safari adventure starts in Chobe—the largest concentration of elephants in Africa. Its diverse wildlife makes itself known right off the batt, and you'll discover African wild dogs, pukus, red lechwes, sables, giraffes, and roan antelopes. During the dry season, you'll also notice these large herds, as well as vast herds of buffalo, gather by the Chobe River to drink, bathe, and play.
The Chobe Game Lodge has a selection of water-based activities, and you'll be getting the complete experience of the Chobe National Park. On this early morning, until late afternoon, you'll ride in an open-sided 4x4 vehicle—this way, you'll have the maximum visibility of the park's spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife.
Day 3: Chobe to Okavango
Today, after your breakfast and one last activity at Chobe Game Lodge, you will be transferred by road to Kasane Airport. Here you will board your light aircraft transfer to the Okavango Delta, where you will spend two nights at Camp Okavango on a fully inclusive basis. You'll be having dinner in the evening with a new change of scene, and tomorrow your second safari adventure begins.
Day 4: Camp Okavango Safari
On your fourth day, it is time for your Camp Okavango Safari. Water-based activities will be conducted by experienced professional guides who will expertly navigate you through the many winding waterways.
