Itinerary    

Days 1-4 -  Maun/Linyanti Wildlife Reserve

Your journey begins as you arrive in Maun, Botswana. Meet your professional photographer who will accompany you throughout the trip. A representative from Wilderness Safaris will present you with your flight tickets for your light aircraft transfers in Botswana and then direct you to a light aircraft for your flight from Maun Airport to Linyanti Wildlife Reserve.  

The Linyanti Wildlife Reserve offers one of Africa's most exhilarating wildlife experiences.  The area covers 300,000 acres of prime wildlife country situated between the Okavango and Chobe regions.  Yet, there are only 26 rooms in 3 small camps that are allowed to access the game drive areas of this reserve.  Space and privacy are what sets this reserve aside - as well as its brilliant wildlife concentrations.

Elephants are one of the reserves prime attractions - especially in our winter months when they are forced to congregate along the waterways and around the waterholes of the area when the rainfall filled depressions and pans of the interior dry up.  At times the reserve must have several thousand elephants roaming around.   Red Lechwe, Zebra, Wildebeest, Impala, Waterbuck, Sable, Roan, Eland, Giraffe, Baboon, Monkey, Warthog, Crocodile and Buffalo are some of the other animals to be found here. Then there are the predators - Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Wild Dog and Hyena - and the nocturnal animals - Bushbabies, Spring Hare, Aardwolf, Serval, Genet, Pangolin - and the smaller predators. Birding is great here - from the Okavango "specials", such as Slaty Egret, Whiterumped Babblers and Wattled Cranes, to the bushveld species.

Your luxury accommodations will be chosen based on the best location for the time of year you are traveling. Accommodations are inclusive of all meals, local beverages, laundry and twice daily game drives in a private vehicle. 

Accommodations in Classic Camps: DumaTau or Savuti
Accommodations in Premier Camps: Kings Pool

 Days 4-7 - Linyanti Wildlife Reserve/Okavango Delta

Today you are transferred via light aircraft from the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve to the Okavango Delta. 

The Okavango Delta is one of the world's largest inland water systems, the only inland delta of its kind and a unique oasis of life in the center of the Kalahari Desert. It stretches over 16,000 square km and supports a staggering variety of animal, plant, fish and birdlife. The water was once thought to have reached the sea, but this is no longer the case. After a series of tectonic uplifts and earthquakes running along geological fault lines, the land at the edge of the Delta now lies lower than that of the surrounding area. Hence the water very rarely flows further south than Maun.

In some areas, Red Lechwe and Sable is common. Add in Lion, Leopard, Elephant, cheetah and Buffalo along with all the plains animals and one has an excellent all round wildlife experience in a remote and private part of the Okavango. Birding too is great with large varieties and quantities. Walks, mokoros (seasonally) and boating (seasonally, depending on the camp) give you the opportunity to enjoy Africa from a different perspective.

Your luxury accommodations will be chosen based on the best location for the time of year you are traveling. Accommodations are inclusive of all meals, local beverages, laundry and twice daily game drives in a private vehicle.

Accommodations in Classic Camps: Xigera, Jacana, Tubu Tree, Kwetsani or Little Vumbura
