Botswana - 11 nights / 12 days

Wildlife, wilderness and wonder – Botswana has it. Imagine paddling though a wildlife reserve the size of Greater London that you have practically to yourself. Experience the thrill and privilege of a close encounter with Africa’s largest elephant herds. Sense the mesmerising emptiness of one of the worlds largest salt pans and marvel at the ancient rock art of the Kalahari Bushmen.

This twelve day safari captures the best of this incredible wilderness.

DAYS ONE – TWO
Chobe National Park, Northern Botswana

The 10, 750 square kilometre Chobe National Park, bordering the Chobe River in the north of Botswana, is reputed to hold 50,000 elephants. During the dry season May – October, herds of a hundred or more crowd the riverbanks to drink.

Game viewing by vehicle and boat on the Chobe River.

Accommodation in a permanent lodge.

DAYS THREE – FIVE
Selinda Reserve, Northern Botswana

Game viewing activities are focused along the Selinda Spillway, the mysterious dry channel linking the Okavango Delta to the Linyanti Swamps. Marshes, waterways, riverine forests and dry woodlands offer a wonderfully varied habitat. The large, open plains at its eastern end are favoured by wild dogs. Game viewing on foot and by vehicle.

Accommodation in permanent tented camp, lodge or a mobile walking trail camp.

DAYS SIX – EIGHT
Moremi Game Reserve, Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta encompasses a wide diversity of habitats ranging from the clear Delta waters with reed-lined lagoons and channels, to open grasslands, mopane woodlands and palm fringed islands. Game viewing on foot, by vehicle and on the delta in a mokoro. This traditional dug out canoe, poled through the channels made up elephant and hippos is an extraordinarily quiet and peaceful way to view game and birds.

Accommodation in high-quality, small safari camps (20 guests count as ‘big’ here).

DAYS NINE – ELEVEN
Makgadigadi Salt Pans, Kalahari Desert

These huge salt pans, visible from space, are the remnants of an ancient super-lake that dried up 10,000 years ago. Stand and see nothing but sky and heat-haze above the silvery-white horizon.

This expanse, seemingly devoid of life, unfolds to reveal the most fascinating and unique desert environment. You will not see the Big Five but you will have some very special sightings – meerkats, brown hyena and springbok – and you will be able to enjoy walking with Kalahari Bushmen and riding out over the pans on quad bikes (the most environmentally friendly method of getting onto the salt pans). Game viewing on foot and by vehicle.

Accommodation in permanent seasonal tented camps erected on palm islands at the edge of the salt pans.

DAY TWELVE
Charter flight to Maun. Depart Botswana.
