Botswana Safari: Delta, Chobe & Victoria Falls

Your botswana safari begins in Windhoek, where a shuttle collects you for the 4–5 hour drive north to Etosha National Park. On arrival at Okaukuejo Rest Camp your guide introduces the truck, the group, and the route ahead. The afternoon etosha national park tour delivers a game drive across open salt pans where elephants, lions, rhinos, and zebras gather at the famous floodlit waterhole after dark.

A morning boat cruise on the Kavango River starts day three before the group crosses into Botswana and drives to Maun, gateway to the okavango delta safari. The route through the Caprivi Strip and the Botswana border showcases the gradual transition from savanna woodland to the flooded channels of the world's largest inland delta.

A full day moremi game reserve safari in open 4x4 vehicles covers the mixed wetland and savanna habitats that make Moremi one of southern Africa's most diverse wildlife areas. Elephants, leopards, buffalo, lions, hippos, cheetahs, and over 500 bird species have been recorded here. Bumpy tracks through floodplains and mopane woodland reward patient observers with close sightings.

After arriving in Kasane, the chobe national park safari begins on the Chobe River with an afternoon boat cruise. This stretch of the Chobe is known for the largest elephant population in Africa — herds of hundreds come to the water's edge in the late afternoon. The chobe safari boat ride also brings crocodiles, hippos, and a wide range of water birds into close range.

The final morning of this overland safari and southern africa safari ends after breakfast in Victoria Falls. Optional activities are available — a helicopter flight over the falls, a sunrise game drive, or a relaxed boat cruise on the Zambezi before transfer to the airport. The route can also run in the opposite direction from Victoria Falls to the Okavango Delta on request.
