Botswana Wildside Tour Detailed Itinerary
| Day 1: |
Johannesburg |
Camping |
Lunch, Dinner |
Departing Johannesburg at 06:30am we head north
into Botswana. We pass Serowe, birthplace of Botswana’s
first president, Sir Seretse Khama, on our way to the Khama
Rhino Sanctuary. This 4300 hectare reserve situated on the
Kalahari sandveld, has several natural waterholes and provides
prime habitat for white rhino, zebra and wildebeest. We take
our first game drive around the open grassland of Malema and
Serwe Pans.
|
| Day 2: |
Maun |
Camping |
Breakfast, Lunch |
We drive through the Kalahari to Maun, the
gateway to the Okavango Delta. Situated on the banks of the
Thamalakane River, Maun is a bustling frontier town where
we prepare for the delta excursion. After setting up camp
we have a relaxing afternoon at the swimming pool. |
| Day 3: |
Okavango Delta |
Camping |
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner |
Our local guides will take us deep into the
heart of the Okavango Delta on Makoro (dugout canoes). The
delta forms as water flows from the Angolan highlands out
over the Botswana flat Kalahari Desert sands creating a delicate,
green oasis for birds & wildlife. We will camp wild on
remote islands in this amazingly dynamic environment &
enjoy bush walks, bird watching & swimming in the clear
water. Camping with our local guides we learn more about their
lifestyle & culture. We return to Maun in the late afternoon
of day 5 and have time for an optional (own expense) game
flight over the Okavango, which will reveal a different aspect
of the delta. |

Camping |
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner |
We have 4 nights in these conservation areas
with time to explore the various habitats. We spend our time
on game drives watching the plentiful wildlife including wild
dog, elephant, hippo, buffalo, lion & other game.
Moremi Game Reserve rates as one of the leading wildlife areas
of the world and we take our open 4WD vehicle into Moremi
for fantastic game viewing! Grasslands, floodplains, forests,
lily lagoons and winding water channels combine to form a
variety of game viewing habitats.
Moving north over the sand ridge and into the Mababe depression
we arrive at the Savuti Marsh. This open grassland area attracts
herds of zebra and wildebeest, which in turn draw the large
lion prides for which Savuti is famous. The waterhole near
camp is also a favorite drinking point for many elephant and
the sunsets here are fantastic.

The Chobe River flows lazily along the northern

the Chobe River to quench their thirst. We camp at Kasane
