Best of Botswana & Victoria Falls

From Maun you will take a 140km flight  south east to where the Boteti River forms the western boundary of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, here you will find the beautifully appointed Leroo La Tau lodge, which will be home for the next three nights.

Leroo La Tau translates as ‘lion’s paw’ and although the surrounding area hosts plenty of lion it also boasts a healthy population of leopard, cheetah, hyena, impala, kudu, zebra, wildebeest, jackal and porcupine to name but a few. Over the next two days you will have the choice to partake in day and night drives, guided cultural and nature walks and depending on water level, boating activities.  Alternatively you can lounge around the swimming pool or enjoy the panoramic river vista from the game-viewing hide built into the bank of the river.

Spend one final morning at the camp before bidding farewell to your guides as you set off by light aircraft to the Okavango Delta, via Maun. On arrival you will be transferred to Khwai River Lodge, which is in the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve.

Due to its prime location and high density of predators and large herbivores we recommend you spend the next two days doing game drives in the Moremi NP which offers first class game viewing.  Although night drives and walking safaris are not allowed within the NP, the lodge does offer them in the concession north of the river, outside of the park. Alternatively you could choose to relax by the pool or be pampered in the spa.

You will take a morning game drive to the airstrip where you will board a light aircraft for your short journey to the privately owned Eagle Island, nestled in the middle of the Okavango Delta. Newly reopened, Eagle Island Camp offers the ultimate water based safari, allowing guests to discover a dramatic and ever changing ecosystem in luxury.

Spend the day cruising the waterways either by motor boat or mokoro or chose to explore one of the surrounding islands on foot with an armed guard. However, for an unforgettable view of the delta we highly recommend the scenic helicopter ride which is available on request

From Eagle Isalnd, fly to Chobe National Park, where you transfer to Savute Elephant Camp.

Most clients choose to do game drives from this camp, with plenty of big game  to spot, however if you are looking for something a little different then take a visit to see the Bushman paintings and baobab trees.

After an early morning activity you will take a flight to Kasane, where you will be met and transferred by road over the Zimbabwe border. From here you will make your way to the boutique style Ilala lodge, which acts as a great base from which to explore Victoria Falls.

Depending on your mood you could spend the day at the Falls (10 minutes walk away ) sampling some of the adventure activities that are offered including bungee jumping, white water rafting, helicopter rides or swimming in Devil’s Pools’.  Or perhaps you would prefer photographic opportunities, play a round of golf, visit a local village or have lunch on a private island. With so many choices at hand this really is the perfect place to end your African adventure.

You will be transferred to Livingstone Airport ready for your connecting flight home.
