9 Day Classic Botswana Safari: Unveiling Wildlife & Wilderness

Why book this tour?

This Moremi and Chobe Adventure takes you through amazing game reserves in Botswana while enjoying a true bush experience. Maun and the Moremi Game Reserve offer early morning game drives where you can view the wildlife from the vantage point of the safari vehicle.
