On arrival, transfer to The Westcliff hotel in Johannesburg for one night.

After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your scheduled flight to Maun. Continue by light aircraft to the tranquillity of Khwai River Lodge in Botswana for two nights.

The impressions of the Moremi Wildlife Reserve will stay with you forever – driving through the bush into a herd of elephants, the sound of lions roaring in the distance or a family of baboons squabbling nearby. As you sit contemplating the day’s activities consider unwinding further with a luxurious massage at the spa or in the privacy of your own tent deck.

After a morning activity, transfer by light aircraft to Eagle Island Camp in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. Enjoy the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas either on foot, by mokoro (dugout canoe), by motorboat (subject to water levels), or for the ultimate thrill a helicopter safari with exceptional game viewing and photo opportunities. Private game viewing (vehicles and guides can be arranged at all camps), subject to availability.

After a morning activity, fly on in anticipation of the big game at the Chobe National Park and stay at Savute Elephant Camp. Four-wheel drive vehicles will take you to herds of impala, giraffe, zebra, and within close proximity of the big cats and elephants that reign supreme in the Savute region of Botswana.

In the afternoon, transfer to Maun for the connecting flight to Cape Town, via Johannesburg. Enjoy three nights and four full days in Cape Town amongst the beauty of the winelands, Table Mountain and Cape Point, the most south-westerly tip of Africa.
