The Okavango Camping Safari - (6 Days)

A safari for the traveler with limited time. A wonderful and relaxing experience for the nature lover. Around the camp fire at night, beneath the stars, listening to the calls of the wild... in the heart of the game country. Please note that itinerary is flexible and will depend on local conditions.

Day 1: Maun - Bush Camp
We are welcomed at Maun airport by our guide, taken for a light lunch at a local restaurant and then transferred to our camp near Maun. The first evening in the African bush is spent relaxing around the campfire under the bright stars of the southern hemisphere.
(Standard Mobile Safari) (Light Lunch & Dinner)

Day 2 & 3: Okavango Area of Moremi
The channels and waterways of the Okavango Delta are explored on a Mokoro excursion with lunch being enjoyed on an island. We make our way back to our camp during an afternoon game drive, taking in the changing colours of an African sunset.
(Standard Mobile Safari) (All Meals)

Day 4 & 5: Khwai Area of Moremi
After breakfast, we move our camp to the Khwai flood plains, and continue to explore the everchanging scenery of the reserve with our guide. Enjoying early morning and late afternoon game drives, we uncover the secrets of this pristine wilderness area in search of the many species of animal and birdlife that make Moremi their home.
