8-day Fly Me Over Botswana Safari
from $7342.50 per person sharing
On arrival at Maun Airport you will be warmly welcomed by a representative, who will assist you onto your light aircraft flight to Nxabega Airstrip.
Spend two nights at Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp. Accommodation is in an East African-style safari tent, raised on a wooden platform with a private veranda overlooking a floodplain.
Adventures include meandering along the floodplains of the Delta by mokoro (dugout canoe), exploring the deeper channels by motor boat, nature walks accompanied by a professional guide or tracking game in an open 4×4-safari vehicle in the mopane forests and open grasslands. The added highlight of a spot-lit early evening game drive assures you of an unforgettable wildlife experience in Botswana.
After breakfast you will be driven back to the airstrip, where you will hop abroad a light aircraft for a flight deeper into the heart of the Delta.
A maze of sparkling lagoons, meandering channels and overgrown islands teeming with wildlife, Botswana’s Okavango Delta lies like a sparkling jewel at the heart of the Kalahari Desert. Known as “the river that never finds the sea”, its crystal clear channels spread over the thirst-lands of the Kalahari with their papyrus-fringed banks and fertile floating islands. Adapted for a life in and out of water, the elegant red lechwe and shy sitatunga are found in this watery wilderness. Lion, cheetah, leopard, and African wild dog share the floodplains with large herds of elephant and buffalo. Hippos inhabit the deeper channels and lagoons, while honey badgers can be seen in broad daylight. Tall termite mounds are homes for families of dwarf and banded mongoose. Experience the delicate details of the glistening waterways on a mokoro (dugout canoe) ride, where iridescent dragonflies, frogs of every color and jewel-like kingfishers live in the papyrus-lined banks.
Spend two nights at Xudum Okavango Delta Lodge. Accommodation is in a playfully crafted safari suite in handsome tones of chocolate and ebony, which features a large bathtub and romantic al fresco shower. Each suite boasts a lofty hide out with magnificent views.
Adventures include an irresistible combination of water and wildlife on twice-daily game drives in open 4×4 safari vehicles, boating and mokoro (dugout canoe) adventures in the Delta and guided walks. Scenic helicopter flights are available at an additional cost.
After a delicious breakfast, you will be transferred to Xaranna Okavango Tented Camp.
Spend three nights at Xaranna Okavango Tented Camp. Accommodation is in an intimate suite raised above the papyrus like a bird’s nest. The suites feature private plunge pools and cosy fireplaces.
Activities include twice-daily game drives in open 4×4 safari vehicles, bush walks, mokoro and boating excursions (seasonal).
After a mouth-watering breakfast, we wave a fond farewell as you board your light aircraft for your transfer back to Maun International Airport.
