Okavango Explorer
5 night luxury mobile camping safari

Day 1 - 5:

Your safari commences in Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta. Your guide will meet you on arrival at Maun airport, after which, you will begin your journey to Moremi Game Reserve. We stop for a picnic lunch and you can enjoy a late afternoon game drive en-route to camp, arriving in time to toast the sun setting on the horizon.

You will spend your first two nights camping in an exclusive wilderness campsite in the Xakanaxa region of the reserve, exploring this oasis on game drives.

The Okavango is a unique ecosystem, an inland delta situated in the middle of the largest stretch of continuous sand in the world – the Kalahari basin. This wetland lies like an oasis in an otherwise inhospitable landscape. Were land and delta meet, a mosaic of pans, grasslands, forests and lagoons provide an extremely rich and diverse habitat where a multitude of animals and birds flourish. Moremi Game Reserve is situated in the eastern corner of the Okavango Delta, and the Xakanaxa area boasts magnificent scenery as well as a multitude of bird and animal life.

On day 3, you will embark on an island adventure deep in the heart of the Okavango Delta, exploring the endless network of crystal clear waterways and secret lagoons by motor boat, and the surrounding palm fringed islands on foot. This swampland is home to the elusive sitatunga antelope as well as a variety of spectacular bird life including the Pels Fishing Owl and a host of migrant birds. You will spend the night camping on a remote island with only the bear essentials – a true wilderness experience.

On day 4, we return to dry land and make our way towards the Khwai region of the reserve, enjoying a game drive and picnic lunch en route. The Khwai River forms the eastern boundary of the Moremi Game Reserve. Vast herds of buffalo and elephant are common in the dry season with regular sightings of leopard, lion and cheetah.

The following two nights will be spent camping at an exclusive Khwai community campsite on the border of Moremi Game Reserve, exploring the area on game drives both during the day and at night. Exploring after dark with spotlights offers you an opportunity to experience some of the nocturnal animals that are rarely encountered during the day.  We will also have the opportunity to explore the surrounding wilderness on foot and enjoy an up close and personal encounter with Botswana’s flora and fauna. It is important to note that night drives and guided walks are not permitted within the national parks and reserves. These activities are conducted outside the boundaries of the Moremi Game Reserve in the Khwai community area.

Day 6: Safari Ends in Maun

Following breakfast and an early morning game drive, you will be transferred to Khwai airstrip to board a light airport en route to Maun.
