Upon arrival in Maun you will be met by your Guide from Swampland Safari Trails. We transfer directly to Nxai Pan National Park, by vehicle. Nxai Pan National Park consists mainly of a series of fossil pans, all of which are covered in short, nutritious grasses. On the pans are “islands” of Acacia trees that form shady spots in which the animals often rest during the day. This makes for beautiful scenery and is unique to Nxai Pan. The park comprises an area of 2 578 km. In this area both Springbok and Impala can be seen, whereas they are usually separated by different habitat preferences. Unusual game species that can be seen here are the Hartebeest, Oryx, Brown Hyena and Cheetah. Overnight in tented camp in Nxai Pan National Park. (All meals and beverages included)
We transfer to Magadikgadi. Here we will conduct our game drives along the Boteti River. This is the only water source during the dry time of the year. This brings about the largest migration in Botswana. Large herds of zebras that would normally be in the Makgadikgadi Pans during the rainy season. Overnight camping in Makgadikgadi National Park. (All meals and beverages included).
Dinaka offers an explosion of colorful birdlife, herds of graceful antelope, and prides of Africa’s fiercest predators – amongst them the Kalahari black-maned lion. (All meals and beverages included).
Today we continue our journey into the very heart of the Kalahari where we will spend the following days on game drives and game viewing in Deception Valley and Motopi Pan. The Central Kalahari is one of the prime games viewing areas in Botswana. The flat grasslands team with Oryx and springbok, a sight to be compared with none other in the world. Lion, cheetah and jackal are plentiful. The Central Kalahari is also the largest game reserve in Botswana. After sunset, the unceasing call of the black korhaan is replaced by the sudden awakening of the nocturnal animals. Overnight in tented camp in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. (All meals and beverages included).
Today we travel by vehicle back to Maun to take the charter aircraft that will fly you into the Delta, where you overnight in a lodge for the next 2 nights. From here you will explore the Okavango Delta by mokoros and game walks on the surrounding flood plains. (All meals and drinks included).
