Okavango & Chobe Trail - Overland Safari

This morning there is another opportunity to participate in the many optional activities offered in the town of Victoria Falls. After lunch, we take the short drive to the border to Botswana and cross over. In the late afternoon, we reach our accommodation to set up camp on the banks of the Chobe River. Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Optional activity: Visit to Victoria Falls, bungee jump, helicopter flight, white-water rafting.

Pack up your camp and depart at dawn with the open 4x4 safari vehicles. You will be picked up by the overlander truck in Maun. Enjoy the long drive to Maun, through Botswana's incredibly beautiful landscapes and keep your eyes peeled, as you may encounter some wildlife. Today's drive takes us past Botswana's salt pans. The Botswana salt pans are not only an impressively cool landscape, but they also have ecological significance. They provide habitat for many plant and animal species, including some rare and endangered species adapted to extreme conditions. During the rainy season, the salt pans can be flooded, creating ideal conditions for flamingos, which use the lakes to find food and breed. Zebras roam the fringes of the salt pans in search of food and water. They are adapted to dry conditions and can survive near water sources. Wildebeests, springboks, kudu, and other ungulates inhabit the savannas and open grasslands near the salt pans, looking for food like grass and other plants. Predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas are found in the dry areas, hunting ungulates. They utilize the open plains for hunting.

We will be separated from our overlander truck for the next 2 days, so it's important that you pack your personal belongings before we travel to Maun. In Maun, we will have little time for repacking and storing, so take only the essentials. This morning, we rise early and set off to continue our African journey to Maun. Early risers will have the option to take a scenic flight over the delta (weather permitting). After the optional flight, you will be picked up in Maun and taken to the Khwai Conservation Area in smaller safari vehicles. That evening, our guide will prepare us for what to expect on our afternoon mokoro outing in the Okavango Delta and our game drive in Khwai. The Okavango Delta is one of the largest inland deltas in the world and is an interesting ecological area home to an incredible variety of habitats and animal species.

Today marks the end of an unforgettable journey full of experiences and adventures in southern Africa. After breakfast, we take the highway to Johannesburg, where we will arrive in the afternoon. Here, the journey ends.
