The Authentic Safari -10 Days

A safari in the last, true wilderness of Africa - a photographer's delight! Discover the real Africa with us. Around the camp fire at night beneath the stars, listening to the calls of the wild... in the heart of ‘game country’.

DAY 1: MAUN
We are welcomed at Maun airport by our guide and transferred to our camp near Maun. We relax around the campfire in the evening, under the bright stars of the southern hemisphere. (Dinner).

DAY 2/3: MAUN - OKAVANGO AREA OF MOREMI WILDLIFE RESERVE
We travel via South Gate to our secluded bush camp in the Okavango area of the Moremi Reserve where we undertake afternoon game drives and a boat exploration/ cruise on the channels/ lagoons.

DAY 4/5: MOREMI WILDLIFE RESERVE
The reserve is situated in the north eastern corner of the Okavango Delta. It is a pure wilderness area of great beauty, rich green vegetation, palm trees, teeming with birdlife and a vast population of wild animals. We travel to the Khwai flood plains and enjoy early morning and late afternoon game drives.

DAY 6/7/8: SAVUTE & SAVUTE & CHOBE NATIONAL PARK
This 11.600km² Park contains one of the largest concentrations of wild animals in Africa, particularly lions, hyenas and a number of other predators. Vast herds of buffalo, zebra, kudu, lechwe, puku, elephant and others, feed in these marshes while hippo and crocodile inhabit the waterways. Chobe is famous for its beautiful scenery and magnificent sunsets. In the evenings we may see large herds of elephant drinking at the river. (All meals).

DAY 9: VICTORIA FALLS / LIVINGSTONE
We travel to Victoria Falls - without doubt one of the greatest and most spectacular sights where the waters of the mighty Zambezi River tumble down in continuous thunder. The day is spent at leisure and there are various optional excursions available:- a flight over the Falls, a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River etc. One night Rainbow Hotel (or similar).
