13 Days Okavango Adventure
Wildlife, Wilderness and
Waterfalls
Botswana - Zambia
Introduction
Botswana is one of only a few African countries that
have managed to maintain their exclusivity and vast
areas of untouched wilderness. Not only do we enjoy the
serene beauty of the Okavango Delta - a huge freshwater
oasis in the Kalahari Desert - but we also explore the
northern game parks and wildlife reserves of Moremi and
Chobe. Another highlight is our time spent walking with
the local San Bushmen near the World's largest salt pans
of Makgadikgadi. Crossing into Zambia there's plenty of
time to enjoy awe-inspiring Victoria Falls together with
a whole host of fun activities.
THE OKAVANGO DELTA
We begin with a drive to our bush camp at Xaxanaka, deep
in the heart of the Okavango Delta. Hundreds of species
of animal and bird are attracted to this fertile,
freshwater basin. We'll spend time exploring the
channels and reedbanks by boat and safari vehicle.
Hippo, crocodile, red lechwe and a great variety of
birdlife are normally easy to spot.
SAN BUSHMEN AND SALT PANS
We'll also search for wildlife in the Khwai River area
of Moremi Game Reserve, a lush landscape of forests and
flood plains. Giraffe and buffalo are commonly sighted,
as well as predators like lion, leopard, jackal and
hyena. Then we travel from Delta to Desert as we head
south to reach the edge of the Kalahari. At our lodge
close to Gweta, we'll perhaps enjoy a refreshing swim
after venturing out for a nature walk with the San
Bushmen and a visit to a local village. Quad bikes
provide an unusual form of transport for exploring the
unique area that is the vast hot expanse of Ntwetwe Salt
Pan and Nxaisini Fossil Pan (optional).
CHOBE NATIONAL PARK & VICTORIA FALLS
From our comfortable lodge at Kasane we make forays into
the beautiful game park of Chobe in search of some of
the large herds of elephant that made the park famous.
Birdwatching is also superb, particularly along the
banks of the Chobe river. Next, we cross the mighty
Zambezi River into Zambia and reach the adventure
capital of Livingstone. We'll see the raging 'Smoke that
Thunders', Victoria Falls, and have an option to safari
in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in search of white
rhinos. For adrenaline junkies, numerous fun activities
are possible locally.
