Safari summary

Tour Botswana Nxai, Moremi and Khwai, Makgadikgadi Pans National Park viewing big game combined with Victoria falls with accommodation in luxury lodges. This eight days tour is an highlight for big game in some of the best spots of Botswana parks.
Lately, Moremi has gained a worldwide reputation as being one of the best game areas in all of Botswana offering some utterly spectacular wildlife viewing opportunities.
The fossil pans of Nxai Pan offer spectacular, seasonal game-viewing in the rainy season (November - March). Huge herds of Zebra, Wildebeest, Springbok and Gemsbok attract many predators - Lion, Cheetah and both brown and spotted Hyena.
Khwai Community Area has unfenced boundaries allowing wildlife to move freely between the woodlands in the wet season when water is plentiful and back to permanent rivers and lagoons in the dry season.
Culminate the tour with a visit to the world renowned Victoria falls. Resting on the southern banks of the Zambezi River at the western end of the enomous falls, this popular tourist town is compact enough to walk around and makes an ideal base for travellers exploring the seventh wonder of the world

Day 2: Nxai Pan Park

Nxai Pan

The fossil pans of Nxai Pan offer spectacular, seasonal game-viewing in the rainy season (November - March).

Day 4: Moremi

Moremi

You spot amazing things close-up: an insect, animal tracks, big game droppings, swarming termite mounds. Night drives “into the middle of nowhere” are an amazing experience. Don’t say a word, but simply gaze up at the stars and listen to the sounds. Nocturnal animals are out on the prowl— emitting the occasional deep-throated roar. Dinner and overnight at Xakanaxa camp lodge/ Kadizora safari lodge, on fully-inclusive basis (activities, meals, soft drinks, local drinks)

Kadisora lodge

Day 5: Khwai community area

Moremi

Khwai Community Area has unfenced boundaries allowing wildlife to move freely between the woodlands in the wet season. The Khwai area offers the same wildlife experience as the Moremi Game Reserve with the added advantage of being a private concession, which means the ability to do walking safaris and night drives. Don't miss the opportunity to soak up beautiful views of the scenic landscape and spot an array of wildlife. Dinner and overnight at a Saguni safari camp on fully-inclusive basis

A combination of lagoons and channels of papyrus, the Khwai River is surrounded by little islands that feed off the borders of the river. It is fed by Angola’s summer rains, which take approximately four months to flow down into Botswana. Dinner and overnight at a Saguni Safari camp on fully-inclusive basis
