Botswana Safaris: AFRICAN BUSH CAMPS ~ OKAVANGO DELTA EXPERIENCE
ITINERARY AT A GLANCE
This is a seven night safari where you will experience the magic of the worlds largest inland Delta. Your luxury tents are ready for you when you reach your new location. Our luxury tented camps offer twin-bedded luxury accommodation in spacious, insect proof Meru style tents, with bush-bucket shower/toilet en-suite. Bathrooms are permanently attached to the tents, are roofed and also insect proof. Note: They can only run the trips with 4 people. Day 1 – 4 Moremi Luxury Mobile Tented Camp, Okavango Delta On arrival into Maun Airport, you will be met and board your charter flight to Moremi Luxury Mobile Tented Camp in the Okavango Delta where you will spend three nights. The Moremi Game Reserve comprises an area of 3,900 square kilometres and lies in the heart of the Okavango Delta. All the major habitats and ecotones are preserved here. Moremi is mostly described as one of the most beautiful wildlife Reserves in Africa. It combines mopane woodlands and acacia forests, floodplains and lagoons. It is this great diversity of plant and animal life that makes Moremi so well known. The reserve contains within its boundaries approximately twenty percent of the Okavango Delta. One may travel all day in some areas and not see another soul besides the animals on the savannah. To make the experience even more enjoyable many varied activities are available. Safaris by boat are the best way to see the water areas, whilst game drives are the best for tracking the animals. All the major predators as well as elephant, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, waterbuck, red lechwe and many more can be seen in this area. Wild dog whose numbers are rapidly dwindling elsewhere, are regularly sighted in the Moremi. Birdlife is prolific and varied, ranging from water birds to shy forest dwellers. Many of the Camp Sites are nestled amongst tall shady mopane trees. The Camps are set up prior to your arrival and each luxury tented accommodation lets one experience and savour the traditional African Safari. The room design and camp interior is designed with most comforts and luxuries one would not expect to find in the heart of Africa. The beds are luxurious with fresh linen, towels and all the amenities plus en suite bathrooms and the occasional out door shower. Guests can lie in bed at night and feel the pulse of Africa.  
Day 4 - 5 Island Night, Okavango Delta After three days of exploring in the Okavango Delta you will depart for your next camp, which is situated on an island in the heart of the Delta, where your boat transfer takes you through lagoons and narrow channels lined with evergreen trees such as water figs and African mangosteens and the ever present papyrus reed banks. Stopping for lunch on a sand bank, you will continue on to your mobile camp on the island for a night under the stars at your private Island fly camp. The birdlife is abundant and you may even witness elephants crossing the channels.  
Day 5 - 8 Khwai Luxury Mobile Tented Camp, Khwai Concession, After one night on your own private island you will depart for your next camp situated in the eastern section of Moremi called Khwai, where you will spend three nights at Khwai Luxury Mobile Tented Camp. Khwai is a private community run concession, on the eastern border of the Moremi Game Reserve along the river Khwai. The Khwai River forms a boundary between the reserve and the community area. The river is the sole source of water for miles around attracting wildlife from afar. As this is community run all proceeds from tourism go directly to help local people and local projects through the Khwai Community Trust. The camping is at exclusive campsites within the community area. This being a concession it allows you to conduct night drives, which are not permitted in the National Parks or Game Reserves, as well as the usual game drives or walks. Exploring after dark with spotlights offers you an opportunity to experience some of the nocturnal animals that are rarely encountered during the day. There is the added opportunity to explore the surrounding wilderness on foot and enjoy an up close personal encounter with the flora and fauna. The vegetation here is quite different from the Western section of Moremi where great stands of leadwood and mopane woodlands occur in close proximity to open grasslands and the Khwai River. The beauty of a mobile safari is that we leave the wilderness exactly as we found it, having little or no impact on the environment. We overnight at designated campsites which are mainly community run, which are little more than a clearing under a shady tree, with no permanent structures, electricity or running water. We bring everything with us and take it away again when we leave, including our rubbish. You will enjoy spacious and comfortable tented accommodation, beds and private en-suite bathrooms in remote wilderness areas. Wildlife encountered include lion, cheetah, leopard, wild dog, as well as a multitude of other animals, including elephant, buffalo, zebra, hippo and giraffe to name a few.   
Day 8 Khwai – Maun Airport After your last morning activity at Khwai Luxury Mobile Tented Camp, you will be transferred by light air charter to Maun Airport and your onward travel arrangements. End of safari SAFARI INCLUDES SAFARI EXCLUDES |
