The Authentic Safari 
(Botswana)- 10 Days

The Authentic Safari can be combined with the 5 Day Zambezi Canoe Safari

A safari in the last, true wilderness of Africa - a photographer's delight! Discover the real Africa with us. Around the campfire at night beneath the stars, listening to the calls of the wild... in the heart of game country. We camp in secluded bush camps within the Moremi Wildlife Reserve and Chobe National Park.

DAY 1: MAUN - BUSH CAMP

We are welcomed at Maun airport by our guide and we transfer to a remote bush camp near Maun. We relax around the campfire in the evening, under the bright stars of the Southern Hemisphere. (Dinner).

DAY 2/3: MAUN - OKAVANGO AREA OF MOREMI WILDLIFE RESERVE

We travel to our secluded bush camp in the Okavango area of Moremi Reserve where we undertake game drives and boat explorations on the channels and lagoons.  (All meals).

DAY 4/5: MOREMI WILDLIFE RESERVE

The reserve is situated in the north-eastern corner of the Okavango Delta. It is a pure wilderness area of great beauty, rich green vegetation, palm trees, teeming with birdlife and a vast population of wild animals. We travel to the Khwai flood plains and enjoy early morning and late afternoon game drives. (All meals).

DAY 6/7/8: SAVUTE & CHOBE NATIONAL PARK

This 11.600km2 Park contains one of the largest concentrations of wild animals in Africa, particularly lions, hyenas and a number of other predators.

Vast herds of buffalo, zebra, kudu, lechwe, puku, elephant and others, feed in these marshes while hippo and crocodile inhabit the waterways. Chobe is famous for its beautiful scenery and magnificent sunsets. In the evenings we may see large herds of elephant drinking at the river.  (All meals).

DAY 9: VICTORIA FALLS/ LIVINGSTONE

We travel to Victoria Falls - without doubt one of the greatest and most spectacular sights, where the waters of the mighty Zambezi River tumble down in continuous thunder.

The days are spent at leisure and there are various optional excursions available:- a flight over the Falls, a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River etc. 1 Night Sprayview Hotel (or similar). (Accommodation on a bed & breakfast basis).
