This luxurious Botswana safari concentrates on two areas within the Okavango Delta, staying at two of Botswana's premier camps: you will spend 3 nights at Jao Camp, in a large seasonally-flooded reserve dotted with islands on the western side of the Delta; and then 3 nights at Mombo Camp, an opulent camp situated on the game-rich Chief's Island, part of the Moremi Game Reserve.

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

The trip is an individual trip, and can be tailor-made and adapted to suit you.

Day 1

Starting from London Heathrow, your scheduled overnight flight with South African Airways or British Airways will take you to Johannesburg.

Days 2-4 Okavango Delta Safari Reserves, Botswana

In Jo'burg you'll connect to a 2-hour scheduled Air Botswana flight to Maun. From there you'll be flown by light aircraft over the Okavango Delta to a remote airstrip. A game drive through pretty floodplains and riverine forest takes you to your watery base for the next 3 nights –

Days 5-7 Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana

A 30 minute light aircraft flight takes you to Chief's Island in the Moremi Reserve. You'll then drive though forests, woodlands and open glades – all rich with game and birdlife – and usually reach camp in time for afternoon tea and an afternoon safari activity. There is sure to be plenty of wildlife activity during your 3 nights at the luxurious–

Day 8

On your last day of safari, you'll probably have time for a morning safari drive before a short (30 minutes) light aircraft flight from Mombo to Maun. There you'll connect with your scheduled international flight to Jo'burg, and onto your overnight flight back to London Heathrow.

Day 9

Arriving back in London Heathrow, early in the morning, it's hardly as appealing as being in Botswana – but then you will have had a superb safari!
