Botswana Southern Sanctuaries

DAY 1 & 2
Upon arrival at Maun International Airport you will be warmly welcomed by a member of the &Beyond team, who will direct you onto your light aircraft flight to Stanley’s airstrip.

The Okavango Delta is the world’s largest inland delta and a miracle of nature. This paradisiacal oasis of islands and waterways flowers in the middle of the arid Kalahari Desert. Most visitors to Botswana rate the Okavango Delta as the highlight of their trip and it is not hard to see why – in terms of pristine beauty, remote location, and rich diversity of animal and bird life, the Okavango Delta is unbeatable.

Overlooking the Boro River and surrounded by ebony and sausage trees, Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp is a beautiful tented safari camp that offers its guests the amazing opportunity to experience the magnificent variety of large mammals and the pristine surroundings of the Okavango.

Enjoy two nights at Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp in a Tent with ensuite bathroom and private deck. Your stay includes all meals daily, airport transfers, game viewing activities, park fees, laundry, non-alcoholic beverages and alcoholic beverages (excluding premium brands and Champagne).

The only proclaimed wildlife reserve in the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve boasts the most diverse habitat and animal populations in Botswana.

Today you will hop aboard a light aircraft for your flight to Kasane International Airport, where you will be met and driven to Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero.

Further north from the Okavango Delta lies Chobe National Park, encompassing 11 000 km² of wilderness, bordered in the north by the beautiful Chobe River, and buffered on all sides by wildlife management areas and forest reserves allowing for the free movement of game. Known as one of the top wilderness reserves in the world and home to the largest single concentration of elephant, Chobe National Park is a wildlife enthusiast’s dream. Throughout the year, herds of buffalo and elephant can be seen drinking at the river’s edge, with their numbers swelling into hundreds and thousands during the dry season. Two region specific antelope, the puku and the Chobe bushbuck, cannot be seen anywhere in Botswana except on the Chobe riverfront.

This charming colonial town, named after the legendary Victorian missionary and explorer – Dr. David Livingstone, was once the bustling capital of Zambia. Established in 1905, as the country’s key European settlement, it enjoyed the excellent facilities synonymous with high society – the town still boasts the elegant Edwardian architecture of this era. Livingstone acts as Zambia’s adventure gateway as it is conveniently situated near the mighty Zambezi River and the breathtaking Victoria Falls.
