Chobe Riverfront

Linyanti Wetlands

Savute

Day 1

Fly overnight to Johannesburg.

Day 2

Board a connecting flight to Kasane, taking roughly two hours. Here you will be greeted and transferred to the waterfront for a two night stay. There are varied activities here, with your first setting out this afternoon.

Day 3

Morning and afternoon game viewing activities around Chobe. You will want to go into the national park on game drives and take a river cruise to watch elephants, buffalo and antelope come to the water.

Day 4

This morning's activity ends at Kasane airport for a light aircraft flight to the Savute area. Here you will be picked up and transferred for a two night stay at your lodge, in time for an afternoon game drive.

Day 5

Morning and afternoon game drives take in Savute Marsh and the now re-flowing Savute Channel. The interaction between lion and elephant is a fascinating Savute wildlife spectacle, while the kopjes hide a decent volume of leopard.

Day 6

Today's light aircraft flight takes you to the heart of the Linyanti Wetlands. For the next two nights, the focus will be on exploring the wide open plains by vehicle to find the highest possible numbers of wildlife.

Day 7

Short walking safaris are possible in the Wetlands at certain times of year, offering a different perspective on the extensive flora and fauna.

Day 8

Today's game drive travels to the north of the reserve, where camp resides in a far lusher riverine environment. This will be your base for the next two nights, and the area is an absolute hotbed of wild dog traffic.

Day 9

River activities here are enticing, with fishing and serene evening boat cruises both possible.

Day 10

The morning activity ends at the airstrip for your light aircraft transfer to Maun. From here it's a short international flight to Johannesburg and an overnight journey home.

Day 11

Daytime flight to the UK.
