Having arrived at Kasane you will be driven to the western end of CHOBE NATIONAL PARK, renowned for its huge elephant population that come out of the bush to drink and bathe in the river. Perched on the escarpment overlooking the Caprivi Strip, Muchenje Safari Lodge offers game drives in the Park, as well as boat trips on the Chobe river and night drives and walking safaris in the bordering forest reserve.

Accommodation is in thatched stone bungalows each with a private verandah and there is an inviting swimming pool.

Next fly to Kwando Lagoon Camp where eight traditional safari tents are set in a stunning location under African ebony and marula trees on the banks of the river in the KWANDO CONCESSION.

During game drives in this unfenced private wilderness there is the chance of seeing wild dog which have denned near the camp for many years. The animals are now very relaxed in the presence of vehicles which makes for excellent photo opportunities! Bird watching while cruising on the river, guided walks and fishing for bream and tiger fish are also possible.

A different experience awaits you at Delta Camp in the heart of the OKAVANGO DELTA with its original and romantic bungalows, open at the front and constructed from local letheka reeds. The tree-house, high in the branches of an ebony tree, provides breath-taking dawn views. The atmosphere and service at this camp are second to none.

From camp, you will glide through the tranquil waterways in a traditional mokoro, skilfully poled by your Batswanan guide who will also lead you on foot, tracking game on nearby Chief's Island.

Jack’s Camp, surely one of the most stylish and romantic on earth, is a wonderful location in which to end your safari. With Persian rugs underfoot and cool cotton sheets, the tents are aptly described as providing an ‘oasis of civilisation’.

Activities, exploring the vast flatness of the MADGADIKGADI SALTPANS, are planned to be as informative as they are fun. A highlight is walking with a bushman guide and the desert-adapted game can be also sought in a 4x4 vehicle with a qualified zoologist or you can head out on quad bikes to watch the sun set and the stars rise. And get up close to the captivating meercats - ‘suricats’ to science minded people and ‘Timon’ to Lion King fans – what an experience before returning home!

and what about?
	For riders, the ultimate thrill in Botswana would be to take a horse back safari, galloping through the clear shallows of the Okavango Delta, getting close to the wildlife which is undisturbed by human intrusion. With much loved and well cared for thoroughbred horses, a comfortable base camp and the option of fly camping if you wish, spend a minimum of three nights discovering the beauty of the delta.
