Itinerary
Day 1 – Okavango Delta
On arrival at Maun Airport you will connect with your light aircraft flight to the Okavango Delta where you will spend the next 2 nights at Oddballs Enclave, a fantastic authentic camp in the heart of this seasonal wetland.
Day 2 – Okavango Delta
This camp is walking and mokoro focussed, you will be met by your guide on arrival and he will be your guide for the duration of your stay at the camp. It is a really simply but brilliantly put together operation in the heart of the Delta.
Day 3 – Mobile Safari
Today you will fly from the central Okavango to the East where you will join your fully service mobile safari with the amazing Bushways. This company is one of the best in Africa for mobile safaris, and you will spend the next 6 nights with your crew and a maximum of 6 other passengers (if you are travelling as larger family or several couples it is possible to arrange a private departure).
Day 4 to 8 – Mobile Safari
You will spend the first few days on the edge of the Okavango in the Moremi and Khwai areas before heading off to the remote Western edge of the Chobe National Park, after camping here for a couple of nights you will make your way to the famed Chobe Riverfront to experience some more great safari!
Day 9 – Victoria Falls
You will be sad to leave your Bushways team and fellow passengers when you are dropped off in Kasane today, we find that there is no way to bond with people like spending time in some incredible and remote wilderness areas, none the less it is time to head onwards. You will be transferred by road across the border to Zimbabwe where you will stay and the lovely Ilala Lodge for the following 2 nights winding down, visiting the falls, reading a book and relaxing.
Day 10 – Victoria Falls
Ilala Lodge is a lovely property situated close to the falls, it is a bit of a larger hotel style than we usually use but Ilala is both excellent value and brilliantly located.
Day 11
To day your adventure will come to an end and you will fly to Maun for your onward arrangements.

POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS

- More Safari – If you are looking to explore further this itinerary can be extended with extra nights in any of the locations included or you can add on a trip to the Kalahari for something completely different.
