Safari to the Okavango Delta

Okavango Delta

Day 1 & 2: Johannesburg – Okavango Delta                Fly from Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport to Maun International Airport in Botswana. Here you will be met by a tour representative who will transfer you to Xigera Mokoro Trails Camp in the Okavango Delta via a short flight. The best way to value Xigera is to travel through it and this will be done via the water channels in a mokoro, by venturing into the bush on safari walks and by camping out on a vegetated island. Observe the diversity of plant, bird and animal life as you analyze their relation to one another in this active ecosystem. On your mission on the mokoro, look out for a glimpse of one of the many birds in a long list of species, or spot a sitatunga or some pygmy geese. Take a closer look at the reeds and notice the tiny reed frogs that are clinging to them. From the giant wonders to the unnoticed creatures, new sightings are inevitable in the Delta. Spend your evenings glued to the screen of the shimmering African sky. Get lost in the warmth of a burning campfire as you replay the day’s events.

Day 6 – 8: Linyanti Concession                    Drive to the private Linyanti Concession to the Linyanti Adventurer Camp, which will provide your accommodation for the next 2 nights. Mopane woodland in connection with floodplains and riparian forest result in an area teeming with wildlife. The concession is bisected by the Savute Channel, allowing for a year-round wildlife experience. The abundance of plains game attracts predators like lions and leopards. If you’re lucky enough, you might spot the endangered wild dog during your game drive through the bush. Birding enthusiasts will appreciate the likely sighting of Bradfield’s hornbill, Schalow’s Louries and coqui francolins. Return from an adventurous day in the bush and attend to your appetite as you dig into a delicious meal. Make sure you get enough rest so that the next day’s activities can be thoroughly enjoyed.

Victoria Falls

Day 10: Victoria Falls – Johannesburg                      The final day of your adventure will exceed all the standards met throughout your journey. On a guided tour of the Victoria Falls, you will experience a series of jaw-dropping moments as you watch this liquid curtain spray the area with its magic. As one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Falls is an experience that will remain unmatched infinitely. Your tour guide will explain the history behind the Falls before identifying points of interest. There are various optional activities available for adrenaline junkies, such as bungee jumping and white river rafting.
