From US$ 5,767 per person
A land of staggering beauty, Botswana has developed a tradition of top-level safari tourism, offering some of the best wildlife safaris you will find. Natural parks and vast private game reserves make up 40% of a fenceless territory, enabling huge herds of game to roam freely in contrasting landscapes of magnificent extremes, from the Kalahari’s desert plains to the Okavango’s lush waterways… Combine this with the natural wonder of the Victoria Falls and with such a diversity of habitats and ecosystems there is a safari for every season.
Wildlife sightings include elephant, kudu, sable antelope, zebra, wildebeest, gemsbok, the rare and endangered roan antelope, buffalo, giraffe, lion, leopard, hyena, and many other wildlife species.
DAYS 1 – 4 (KHWAI TENTED CAMP – BOTSWANA)
Khwai Tented Camp, on the edge of the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana, overlooks the lagoons and lilies of the Khwai River. An ideal spot to begin your adventures, spend the days exploring the open grasslands and great stands of leadwood and mopane woodlands, while night brings nocturnal drives and stargazing.
DAYS 4 – 7 (LINYANTI BUSH CAMP – BOTSWANA)
At Linyanti Bush Camp, in the Chobe Enclave, open floodplains, dense forests and papyrus-lined lagoons protect and provide shelter for the vitality and lifeblood of the area. The Linyanti marshes are one of the most sought-after destinations in Northern Botswana, boasting a great diversity of game and a peaceful atmosphere.
DAYS 7 – 10 (THORNTREE RIVER LODGE – ZAMBIA)
Complete your safari at Thorntree River Lodge in Zambia, a contemporary and chic safari lodge on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River.
