Although simple, the camp is fully serviced. While you are out on safari with your guide the camp crew are preparing your next meal. And on relocation days they will collapse and set up the camp in its new location while you get busy searching for your next big game experience.
This itinerary showcases an amazing journey through the Okavango, down to Savute, one of the most untouched and revered regions in Botswana, before finishing in the Chobe River Flood Plain.

You'll have the rest of the day to spend at your leisure.
Set on the banks of the beautiful Thamalakane River in northern Botswana, Maun is the third-largest town in this spectacularly scenic southern African country. Maun is the starting point for most expeditions into the Okavango Delta and as a result, has developed into a bustling metropolis that is considered Botswana’s tourism capital.
Area attractions include a renowned riverboat that offers cruises up and down the Thamalakane River; the forest groves of the Maun Game Reserve; and Moremi Game Reserve, home to hippos, lions and rhinos. Maun also serves as the jumping-off point for many safaris and air charters as well as offering private 4x4 rentals. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Nhabe Museum exhibiting the local history, art and culture of the Ngamiland region.

DAY 2-3
KHWAI
From Maun your guide will drive you through to Moremi / Khwai, one of the best wilderness areas of Botswana which contains a variety of different ecosystems.
The next two days will be spent searching for the wide variety of wildlife and birds that this area is renowned for, while absorbing the sounds and beauty of this region. Game drives in the early morning as the sun rises and in the late afternoon as the sun sets will be the norm. Your next freshly prepared meal will usually be waiting for you on return to the camp. Evenings are usually spent round the fire with the group or relaxing with a book in your tent.
Camping will be in private designated campsites with ensuite bush ablutions on each tent.
You will also take a ride in a traditional pole driven canoe (mokoro), which will take you along a tributary of the Khwai River to view game from another perspective and to experience this tranquil mode of transport.
