Kalahari and Delta Camping

Day 1 Johannesburg-Tuli Block (Santhata Camp) On arrival you will be met and take a scheduled flight to Polokwane Airport and transferred to Tuli Block (Santhata Camp) on a private vehicle, where you will be able to arrive early for your lunch and afternoon game drive.

Central Kalahari

Day 3,4,5, Central Kalahari   The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) is one of the largest game reserves in the world (52,800 square kilometres). Made famous by Mark and Delia Owen in the book Cry of the Kalahari, its remoteness, unforgiving climate and harsh terrain have kept it pristine and untamed. This reserve is characterised by vast open plains, saltpans and ancient riverbeds. During the summer months when the rains fall, the Kalahari grasslands turn green and lush and the good grazing attracts large herds of zebra, wildebeest, springbok and gemsbok (oryx). Following the herds we hope to find the Kalahari lions. We use 4WD vehicles to visit the northern portion of the reserve and camp wild for 3 nights.

Okavango Delta

Day 7 - 8 Okavango Delta   We venture by 4WD into the vast wilderness of the Okavango Delta where we meet our local community guides. Relax as your poler expertly guides your mokoro (dugout) through the winding channels of the delta. Camp is set up on the islands under a towering canopy of trees. We set out on foot for morning and evening game walks with local guides. During the heat of the day, time is spent relaxing in camp or swimming in the clear delta waters. Birdlife in the Okavango during the summer months is spectacular with all of the summer migrants returning to this water wonderland.

Makgadikgadi Pans

Day 11 Makgadikgadi Pans   Camping wild on the flat Makgadikgadi pans is an experience you’ll never forget. After watching the sunset over the pans, the evening is spent enjoying wide open spaces and the canopy of stars.

Chobe | Victoria Falls | Zambezi

Day 13 - 14 Victoria Falls / Livingstone   After a guided walk mid- morning we embark for a cruise on the Chobe River. This is a brilliant wildlife experience where we get close to hippopotamus, crocodiles and elephants. Keep an eye out for the endemic Chobe Puku. We then cross the border into Zambia at the Kazangula Ferry. Our afternoon is spent exploring the Mosi au Thunya national park and enjoying the views as the mighty Zambezi plunges 100m over the Victoria Falls. The following day is free to enjoy the range of adventure activities including river rafting, bungee jumping and the Flight of Angels over the falls (own expense). We sample the local cuisine at a variety of restaurants in the evening (own expense).
