ITINERARY

Itinerary
1

Upon arrival in Maun, embark on a scenic flight to the vast Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the second-largest game reserve globally. This arid landscape, unlike the lush Okavango Delta, offers a unique ecosystem teeming with diverse wildlife. Encounter elusive species such as brown hyenas, aardwolves, oryx, bat-eared foxes, and ostriches. The best time to experience the Kalahari’s transformation is during the rainy season (January to April). Witness the stark desert landscape burst into life, with lush interdune valleys attracting thousands of springboks, gemsbok, ostriches, and wildebeest. Immerse yourself in the magic of the Kalahari through thrilling day and night game drives or embark on a cultural excursion with the San Bushmen, the original inhabitants of the region. As the sun sets, savor a delectable dinner under the starlit sky, accompanied by the enchanting sounds of the African bush.

Commence on a scenic flight to the heart of the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During Botswana’s dry season (June to October), the Delta transforms into a wildlife haven as floodwaters from Angola reach their peak. This seasonal phenomenon attracts a diverse array of wildlife, including large herds of elephants, buffalo, and zebra. Kanana Camp, a luxurious 5-star retreat, is nestled on the banks of the Xudum River. This idyllic setting, surrounded by a canopy of palm, fig, and ebony trees, offers unparalleled opportunities for wildlife viewing and birding. Keep an eye out for the elusive Pel’s Fishing Owl and a variety of other avian wonders. Experience the Delta’s diverse ecosystem through thrilling game drives, serene mokoro excursions, or a unique sleep-out under the African sky.
