DETAILED ITINERARY

Day 1: Johannesburg - Khama Rhino Sanctuary

Departing Johannesburg at 06h30 you head north into Botswana and the Khama Rhino Sanctuary. This reserve situated on the Kalahari sandveld, has several natural waterholes and provides prime habitat for white rhino, zebra and wildebeest.
The Khama Rhino Sanctuary Trust is a community based wildlife project established in 1992 to assist in saving the vanishing rhino, to restore an area formerly teeming with wildlife to its previous natural state, and provide economic benefits to the local Botswanan community through tourism and the sustainable use of natural resources.

Day 2: Maun
Meals: HB
You drive through the central Kalahari to Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta.
Situated on the banks of the Thamalakane River, Maun is a bustling frontier town where you prepare for the delta excursion. After setting up camp you have a relaxing afternoon by the swimming pool.

Days 3-5: Okavango Delta
Meals: FB
Your local guides will take you deep into the heart of the Okavango Delta in mokoros (traditional dug-out canoes). The delta is home to a diverse range of wildlife such as red lechwe, sitatunga, elephant, wild dogs, buffalo and lion, as well as the other more common mammals and abundant birdlife.
You camp wild on remote islands in this excellent wildlife area and enjoy game walks, bird watching, learning more about local culture, and swimming in the beautiful clear water.

You return to Maun in the late afternoon of day 5 and have time for an optional (own expense) game flight over the Okavango, which will reveal a different aspect of the delta. Dinner on day 5 is at own expense.

Moremi Wildlife Reserve is one of the leading wildlife areas in the world, and you take your open 4x4 vehicle into Moremi for fantastic game viewing.
