Day 1. Victoria Falls to Kasane, Botswana - Chobe National Park Highlights. Chobe Fish Eagle Cruise, Botswana. Chobe National Park, Botswana.

We leave Victoria Falls early this morning and head for Kasane, Botswana. It is a short drive to the border and then on to Kasane, the gateway for the Chobe National Park. Later in the day we head out onto the water for the Fish Eagle Cruise on the Chobe River.

The Chobe National Park is fed by the Chobe River which supplies the lifeline of water to many of the wildlife, reptile and bird species in the area. A firm favourite with 'twitchers' and animal enthusiasts alike - you'll enjoy the day out exploring!

Day 2. Chobe National Park - Kasane to Nata Highlights. Chobe National Park Game Drive, Botswana.

We head out to explore the Chobe National Park in an open vehicle game drive where we may have the opportunity to spot not only elephant that are so prolific in the park, but also lion and different antelope species.

Leaving Kasane, we stop in the small settlement of Nata for the night. If we are lucky, we will see plenty of bird species including Southern yellow-billed hornbills, pied and arrow-marked babblers, glossy starlings and paradise whydah from the comfort of the pool deck, bar or breakfast table.

Day 3. Nata to Maun Highlights. Nata Village, Botswana.

We take an early morning guided tour in the local village to learn a little about everyday life in the region before continuing on to Maun and the gateway to the Okavango Delta.

Day 4. Maun to Okavango Delta Highlights. Okavango Delta, Botswana.

Transferring into the wilderness area of the vast Okavango Delta this morning on 4x4 truck we then meet our local guides in the traditional Mokoro (dugout canoe) who will be with us for the excursion.

We spend the day exploring the islands and waterways of this tranquil area.

Our comfortable tented camp is home for the night.

Day 5. Okavango Delta to Maun Highlights. Maun, Botswana.

After a morning exploring the area on foot with a variety of nature walks we pack up and return to the base in Maun.

After lunch we have the opportunity to take a flight over the Delta to give us an alternative perspective on the area we have been exploring.

Day 6. Maun to Khama Rhino Sanctuary - Stevensford Game Reserve Highlights. Khama Rhino Sanctuary, Botswana.

Travelling through the greater Kalahari region via the small outpost of Mopipi with views of vast salt pans in the distance we eventually reach the Khama Rhino Sanctuary in the Serowe Area. The Sanctuary was set up in order to try and conserve endangered rhino's and now benefits all the local community.

We enjoy an afternoon game drive with the local rangers before travelling to Stevensford Game Reserve for our final night on tour.

Day 7. Stevensford Game Reserve to Pretoria

With an early morning departure, we cross the mighty Limpopo River into South Africa and continue our journey to Pretoria where our tour ends late this afternoon.
