This varied Botswana safari concentrates on two great game areas: the dry Linyanti Reserve, and the much lusher Okavango Delta, where you will stay for a total of 9 nights in three top safari game camps: Kwetsani Camp, Chitabe, and Savuti Camp. Although the bird-watching is first-rate in these reserves, the trip really focuses more on big game at Chitabe and Savuti – in areas which have excellent populations of lion, leopard, and cheetah. The trip is an individual trip – not a group trip – so talk to us to tailor-make a similar holiday for you.

This Botswana safari can also easily be combined with a visit to Zambia to see the Victoria Falls. See our trips to Livingstone for examples of the add-on options, and the costs.
