Stylish Botswana

Welcome to Zimbabwe, to the impressive Victoria Falls and to your Botswana luxury safari. A driver will greet you on arrival and take you to your accommodation.

The hotel lies on the banks of the famous Zambezi River, surrounded by tall, native trees, and offers pure tranquillity. On a clear, calm day, you can hear the thunder of Victoria Falls and watch the spray of the mighty waterfall from your room.

Here you can set off on real adventures and choose from many different activities. You can explore the rainforest of the falls, also known as “Mosi oa Tunya – thundering smoke”, take a luxurious Ra-Ikane river cruise on the Zambezi with breakfast or at sunset, or fly over the Zambezi in a microlight or helicopter (all optional).

The adventurous among you can try white-water rafting or get an adrenaline kick bungee jumping from the Victoria Falls Bridge (both optional).

You spend the next two nights at Palm River Hotel.

After a delicious breakfast, you are taken across the border into Botswana and to Chobe National Park. Chobe Game Lodge is the only permanent lodge inside the park.

It sits on a hill and offers a fantastic view of the famous Chobe River. Once you have settled in a little, you can put together your programme for the next two days from the many activities on offer.

Chobe is also called the Land of Giants, because with over 40,000 elephants it is home to the largest elephant population in Africa.

In the dry season, these large herds, as well as buffalo and other herds of wildlife, gather in the fertile floodplains around the Chobe River to drink.

With the large number of prey animals, the predators follow too: crocodiles, lions, leopards and African wild dogs are regularly sighted.

You can explore the region by land and by water, on game drives in an open safari vehicle or on a solar-powered safari boat. Watch the animals drinking at the Chobe River and enjoy the breathtaking sunset with a gin & tonic in hand.

You stay overnight at Chobe Game Lodge.

Transfer by light aircraft

Following one last activity (depending on timing) and breakfast, you are taken to Kasane airport to take your flight to Moremi Game Reserve.

On a clear day, you have an endless view over the Chobe river plains, the Linyanti swamps and the Savuti part of Chobe National Park. Over the next three days, you can explore Moremi, where land and delta meet, on morning or afternoon game drives.

Watch a leopard lazing in the branches of a mopane tree, herds of elephants grazing beneath a green canopy or a pride of lions hiding in the long grass.

Another option is a boat safari on Xakanaxa Lagoon and the surrounding channels. The wide range of activities allows you to explore incredible landscapes, experience impressive wildlife and admire the dreamlike waters of the Okavango Delta.

You stay overnight at Camp Moremi.

Transfer by light aircraft

After a generous breakfast, it is time to head to the airstrip to fly by light aircraft into the Okavango Delta.

Over the next two days, you take part in a range of water activities, accompanied by a professional guide, to track down animals and birds – after all, the area is not called a water wonderland for nothing.

You can experience the vast expanses of water from the comfort of a modern motorboat or explore the subtleties of the Okavango Delta in the quiet, classic way in a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe).

For those who want to get a little closer to nature, guided bush walks are offered to some of the nearby islands, where you can watch some of the larger land animals that inhabit this watery wilderness.

You stay overnight at Camp Okavango.

Transfer by light aircraft

Wake up one last time to the unique sounds of the bush. After your breakfast, your safari draws to a close and you are taken to the airstrip for your final light-aircraft flight.

On the way south to Maun, you can enjoy a last look at the Okavango Delta. Your Botswana luxury safari now comes to an end.

From Maun, you begin your flight home. Have a good journey and until next time.
