The Okavango River, emanating from central Angola, far to the northwest, flows south- and eastwards, before slowing and spreading into one of the world's only true inland deltas, creating as it does so a unique ecosystem that supports a huge variety of animal and plant life. The sight of a Jacana striding delicately amongst the flowering lilies, the Bee Eater diving to prey on an unsuspecting insect, and, of course, the familiar cry of the African Fish Eagle - all combine to create the canvas of one of nature's unique masterpieces.

DAY 6-9 FLEXIBLE GAME RESERVE SCHEDULE KHWAI AREA

We enjoy a scrumptious breakfast at the Lodge before departing on the game viewing part of the trip, undoubtedly one of the highlights of the tour. We travel in well-equipped, open 4x4 Land Cruisers, with our local Motswana guides. The 4x4s aren't just for show, as the national parks are truly wild places, the roads just tracks in the sand. We carry only our cameras and day packs, a picnic lunch, and drinks for the road, We game drive extensively during the day, to stop at hides and water holes at leisure, and to make the most of our time here. Towards sunset we arrive at our camp in the bush, in time to pitch camp, set up bush showers and toilets, and get a friendly campfire going. We spend 4 nights in an exclusive private campsite on the banks of the Khwai river, completely secluded and undeveloped - it is as if we are the first people here, and are alone in the world. We bring everything we will need with us for a comfortable wilderness experience, and leave nothing behind when we depart. Our route is flexible and depends on the season & availability of the migrating game. This area is excellent for game viewing and we will conduct afternoon and morning drives along the wetland areas, with the option to drive into Moremi or Savuti following the migration of game should it be required. Khwai is an area that offers a multitude of game drive options and is a very active game area (keep the fruit well hidden from the roving elephant, the meat from the prowling hyenas, and everything from the monkeys). The vegetation is constantly changing, from open plains with palm trees, to marshland, to dense Mopane woodlands or Acacia scrub. This variety of habitats makes for excellent game viewing.

DAY 10: MAKGADIKGADI PANS

Our last morning in the parks, we slowly game drive our way back to Maun. We enjoy a lunch at the Maun lodge. The lodge is situated on the banks of the Boteti River. This river is known to change its flow direction, depending upon the season and rainfall patterns. After lunch we continue our journey eastwards to visit the spectacular Makgadikgadi Salt Pans area. Oceans of golden grass give way to the stark white pans, under a very big sky. We camp the night in splendid isolation. The adventurous can sleep out under the stars and be rewarded with the awesome spectacle of the southern night sky. In some seasons the pans are not easily accessible, in which case we will camp at an interesting elephant watering hole. , Meals: B L D Distance: 200 - 300 km Accommodation: - Wild Camping ( 2 person dome tents) Included Highlights/Activity: - Village walk - Visit to Makgadikgadi Salt Pans - Star- gazing Optional Activities: - None, all included
