This is the Khwai Community area just north of the Khwai River that forms the northern border of Moremi Game Reserve. Here we will conduct game drives the following two days. There are no fences around the parks, so the animals roam freely in and out of the parks. Overnight camping in the Mogothlo area. (All meals and beverages included).

Day 5 & 6 Khwai – Savuti/ Zwei Zwei

Our journey continues north to Savuti/Zwei Zwei in the Chobe National Park. We will have lunch on route and on our game drives in the area we also discover the very interesting history of this area. The Savuti Marsh is situated near the Magwikhwe Sand Ridge, which forms part of the ancient shoreline of an enormous Inland Sea, which was formed in the area an estimated 2-5 million years ago. Situated close to this ridge/shoreline are the Savuti Hills (“kopjes”) where we can find Bushman paintings on the vertical rock faces. Camping in the Savuti/Zwei Zwei area. (All meals and beverages included)

Day 7 & 8 Savuti/Zwei Zwei – Chobe River Front

Today we travel further north through Chobe National Park exiting the park at Khoga gate and then through the Chobe Forest Reserve. On route we will enjoy a picnic lunch at a shady spot. After lunch we will game drive all along the Chobe River to our camp site. On the second day we will wake up to an early morning breakfast and set out for a game drive all along the Chobe River front. The Chobe National Park is famous for its abundance of elephants – the highest concentration of elephants to be found in Africa! It is also famous for its huge herds of buffalo and for its spectacular sunsets! Overnight in Chobe National Park tented camp. (All meals and beverages included).
