7 Day Okavango Delta and Chobe (Unique Safari) – Southbound (Camping)

Day 1 – 2: Kasane – Chobe National Park, Botswana

Upon your arrival in Kasane today, you will embark on a magnificent cruise on the sparkling Chobe River. This experience provides incredible close up encounters with marine and bird life that cannot be easily spotted from land. This cruise also makes for a wonderful ice breaker amongst everyone on the trip, giving you a chance to get to know each other.

We then head out on a leisurely game drive to our camp that provides fantastic photographic opportunities of the incredible sunset over the floodplains of the Chobe River. You will reach the campsite just before night fall, where the remainder of the tour team will welcome you to your lodging for the next two evenings.

The following day will be spent on morning and afternoon game drives, wandering along the Chobe Riverbanks listening to the cry of the regal African Fish Eagle. The Chobe River Floodplain is an incredible place in which to game view, its water drawing in massive buffalo, elephant, zebra and other herbivorous herds. Due to the abundance of prey, there will be plenty of predators spotted here.

Day 3 – 4: Kasane – Savuti / Zwei Zwei, Botswana

Our next destination will be deep inside Chobe National Park, boasting an incredible variety of stunning landscapes. As you seek out wildlife, you will travel through the more arid area of Savuti where bull elephants are peppered along the plains. Savuti is famous for its predators that include lion, leopard, cheetah and even African wild dog. The Savuti Channel is flowing once more after being dry for the past thirty years. The arrival of water is transforming the terrain as well as providing a home for various types of species that would previously not be capable of surviving life in the arid region of Savuti. Elephant, lion and buffalo herds can be seen in this terrain.

The following two days will be spent seeking out the abundance of animal and bird life that this park is famous for, whilst taking in the beautiful sounds and sights of the area. You will be led on a mokoro (traditional dug-out canoe) ride along a tributary of the Khwai River from where you can game view from a completely different angle. There will be game drives in the early mornings as the sun rises, as well as in the early evening as the sun begins to set.
