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’.

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 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.

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).
