Day 1

Arrive Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe where you will be met and transferred by road the short distance across the border to Kasane airport, Botswana. From Kasane airport you will be transferred by light aircraft to the Xakanaxa area of the Moremi Game Reserve where we will meet you, arriving in time for a late lunch. Immediately after lunch we will set off on our first afternoon of wildlife-viewing. We will base from our own remote bush camp at an exclusive campsite for four nights.

Days 2 and 3

Full days wildlife viewing in the Xakanaxa area. This is an area surrounded by both the permanent and seasonal waters of the Okavango Delta and has a mixture of habitats ranging from lagoons, malapu’s (seasonally flooded plains) and grass areas to various woodlands which combine to give the opportunity to see a wide variety of wildlife in one of the most scenically beautiful areas of Botswana. Many antelope species as well as herds of buffalo and elephant frequent this area. This area is home to more than one pride of lions and it is also one of the best areas for spotting leopard.

Day 4

A full morning wildlife viewing on route to the Khwai River area of the Moremi Game Reserve, where we will aim to arrive in time for lunch. After lunch we will set off on our first afternoon of wildlife viewing in this area, returning to another of our exclusive campsites at sunset

Days 5 to 7

Full days wildlife viewing in the Khwai River Area. The Khwai River marks the furthermost reaches of one of the Okavango Delta’s fingers of water and so the resultant surrounding woodlands, open floodplains and a fluctuating river make this area different from other areas in Botswana. The wildlife viewing along the river includes hippo, reedbuck and plentiful water birds while the floodplains attract the zebra, tsessebe, impala and warthogs, and in the woodland areas elephant, giraffe, kudu, roan and sable antelope can be seen. This is another good area for leopard as well as for wild-dog and lion.

Day 8

Our mornings wildlife viewing will continue along the tail end of the Khwai River, over the sand ridge, into the Mababe Depression and to the Savuti area of the Chobe National Park, again aiming to arrive in time for lunch. After lunch we will continue our wildlife viewing, with the day typically ending watching the sunset at one of the waterholes that are so vital to the wildlife of this dry area. The next three nights will be based from another of our exclusive campsites.

Days 9 and 10

Full days wildlife viewing in the Savuti area, famous for its pride of lions and other predators such as cheetah, hyena and wild-dog. This area has a good variety of wildlife as well as being the best place to see, photograph and learn about the large numbers of bull elephants which are special to this area.

Day 11

Our morning wildlife viewing will take us out of the Savuti area and on through thick Kalahari sands and beautiful teak woodlands. After a short stretch driving through villages (where there will be the opportunity to buy traditional hand-made baskets and crafts from the local village co-operative) we will come to the Chobe River area of the Chobe National Park where we will continue our days wildlife viewing, ending at sunset at another of our exclusive campsites.

Days 12 and 13

Full days wildlife viewing in the Chobe National Park. This area has good wildlife viewing all year round thanks to the permanent water of the Chobe River. The mornings here are best spent in search of the lions as well as taking time to appreciate the other animals and birds that one comes across. This permanent river attracts a huge variety of wildlife and is the only place in Southern Africa where the puku can be seen. The afternoon highlight is viewing the breeding herds of elephant and buffalo that come down to the river to drink. On one of the afternoons we will take a boat trip on the river to view the animals from a different perspective.

Day 14

Our last morning wildlife viewing followed by a picnic lunch before returning to Victoria Falls. In the afternoon we will visit the world famous Victoria Falls. One can soon see where it gets its traditional name from - "Mosi oa Tunya", the smoke that thunders. We will have dinner at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge where we will also overnight. The Victoria Falls Safari Lodge is a beautiful brick and thatched building that overlooks the Zambezi National Park. Warthogs, monkeys and baboons are frequent visitors to the grounds and elephant and buffalo can often be seen in the valley below. The lodge has a swimming pool and a floodlit water-hole to enable you to watch the animals coming down to drink at night. Victoria Falls is also the centre for a number of adventure activities such as the best one-day white-water rafting in the world, horse or elephant back riding and scenic flights over the Falls. (For additional activities you will need to spend two nights.)

Day 15

After breakfast there will be another chance to view the Falls in a different light or to walk upstream from the Falls along a winding, twisting path among beautiful riverine vegetation. Alternatively, you may prefer to wander around the curio markets of the town and pick up mementoes in the form of stone and woodcarvings (Zimbabweans have the reputation of being Africa’s best carvers). We will transfer you to Victoria Falls airport in plenty of time for your onward connections.

The mobile camp is a fully serviced camp with comfortable 3m x 3m walk-in dome tents that are insect-proof and furnished with camp beds, mattresses, duvets, pillows and a few other items for your personal comfort. Washstands, toilets and hot showers are also provided. Our camp can be thought of as a scaled-down version of a permanent tented camp but without losing any of the standards and comforts. We aim to maximize your wildlife viewing experiences, and so freshly prepared meals of a high standard fit around the game driving schedule, so as not to be a detriment to possible wildlife viewing excitements and opportunities. You will have exclusive use of our specialized open safari vehicle, which is designed for maximum wildlife viewing and comfort and is ideal if you are interested in photography. This enables us to concentrate on your special interests.
