Radiant Botswana

Victoria Falls Safari Club for a 2-night stay. The balance of the day is free to take a stroll on one of the resort's nature trails, use the spa or enjoy the views overlooking the waterhole.

This morning take a guided tour of spectacular Victoria Falls then afterward, return to the hotel to enjoy its daily Vulture Culture experience where these giant birds come to the resort grounds to feed. The remainder of the afternoon is free to visit the town's many crafts and arts shops. For the adventurous, optional excursions are available to go white-water rafting on the Zambezi River, bungee jumping or even abseiling. Tonight enjoy another overnight at your hotel.

Today you are transferred by road to Kasane in nearby Botswana and then fly to the Xakanaxa airstrip in the Moremi Game Reserve. On arrival you are met and taken to Camp Moremi for a 2-night stay. This afternoon set off on your first game drive with a game ranger through this unique eastern part of the Okavango Delta; a land of lagoons, woods, floodplains and vast grasslands, looking for its many African animals and birds. Tonight, dine at the camp under the stars.

Spend the day game viewing on the twice-daily game drives to spot everything from Zebra and Giraffe to the predators. Or go by boat through the Hippo channels to look for such rare water antelope as Sitatunga and Lechwe. This is also a birder's paradise with over 400 species found in the reserve, and you have the option of going with a professional bird guide who will show you Moremi's most colourful and fascinating avian life. Tonight enjoy another tranquil night at the camp.

This morning you are transferred back to the airstrip for a flight into the heart of the Okavango Delta. Arriving on the remote Nxaragha Island, you are met and taken on a short walk to Camp Okavango where you'll spend the next 3 nights. Being on an island, all game viewing is done from the water or on guided walks. This afternoon go out on your first water-based game-viewing excursion. Later, relax round the fire after dinner, listening to the sounds of the bush.

During the next 2 days, discover the magical world of the Okavango, the world's largest inland delta system and a recently declared World Heritage site. Between motor boat excursions or going out on a mokoro (canoe) paddled by local Africans, taking guided bird-sighting walks or bush walks with the camp's rangers, your encounter with the African wildlife that resides in this enchanted world will thrill you every day. Each evening is spent enjoying the camp's tranquil, island setting.

This morning, fly back to Kasane where you are met and transferred to the Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe prior to connecting to a flight on the first leg of your homeward journey.
