Through the Eyes of the Wilderness

The Okavango Delta & Beyond

Starting from between £8,970 to £14,325 per person for 11 days depending on the time of year, type of accomodation and activities

Itinerary Highlights

  • Spot elephants in the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve which is home to the highest concentration of elephants in Africa
  • Enjoy a traditional mokoro dugout canoe safari on the Okavango Delta waterways
  • Look for big cats in the fabulously game rich Chitabe Concession
Visiting three distinct safari regions, this 11-day Botswana adventure brings you face to face with your favourite wildlife. Kick of your trip in Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, which is the ultimate safari destination for elephant lovers. If you’re feeling adventurous, try sleeping under the stars or even have sundowners in a helicopter soaring over the savannah. Head out on guided game drives as the sun gently rises and spend afternoons relaxing at your lodge.


Next up, head to the Okavango Delta, where seasonal flooding creates an incredible variety of conditions throughout the year, and hop on a guided motorboat along glassy waterways which reflect the vibrant colours of the flora and fauna. Venture out as night falls with a private guide to see if you can spot a prickly porcupine or a big-eyed bushbaby.


Your final safari destination is within Chitabe Private Concession, where no two game drives look the same. It is the ultimate place to spot cheetahs, leopards and wild dogs and is home to over 380 bird species, making it a birder’s paradise.

Itinerary

100% customisable for you

Embark on your ultimate safari adventure this evening, beginning with a direct, overnight flight from London to Johannesburg, a journey of around 11 hours. If you're travelling as a family, the kids will be off to a great start with their Sharky and George packs, filled with age-appropriate games and entertainment for the journey.

On arrival this morning, connect onto your onward flight of around two hours to Maun, the gateway to Botswana's northern game reserves and the Okavango Delta. From here you'll take a private light aircraft, landing at a strip a short (around 40 minutes) drive from your first safari camp. Located within the 309,000 acre Linyati Wildlife Reserve on the banks of the Linyati River, it's a home you'll share with the highest density of elephants anywhere in Africa, along with plenty of other bucket-list species from lions to wild dogs.

It won't take long to spot your first animal neighbours, almost certainly on the drive to camp. If you're feeling up to it after your journey, you can join the evening game drive to get a feel for what's in store, followed by the traditional sundowner drink and a fabulous dinner in the camp's delightful dining tent. For an extra special treat, we can arrange a 'sleep-out' experience; or a sundowner by helicopter, flying out to an island in the delta; or a sunset cruise along the Linyanti River straddling the border with Namibia.
