Day 02 Johannesburg-Maun

Early this morning make your own way back to the international terminal. Your flight takes you to the northern regions of Botswana, where you connect by light aircraft into the heart of the waterways of the Okavango Delta. Time to settle into your safari surrounds, before heading out on your first afternoon adventure (B,L,D).
Stanley’s Camp or Baines’ Camp

Day 03 Design Your Day Okavango Delta

A day to discover the beauty of the Okavango Delta. Choose how you wish to explore with the following activities. Take a morning or afternoon game drive on the open plains, where wildlife such as buffalo, elephant, giraffe or even lion, leopard and cheetah may be sighted. Take to the waterways and experience the solitude of the Delta by mokoro (a dug-out canoe) as your safari guide gently poles you through the channels. A guided safari walk is a must in this area of the Delta. Allow your safari guide to introduce you to the smaller creatures of the bush. Meet the semi habituated elephants – Jabu, Thembi and Morula and spend a morning learning and observing the animals up close in their natural environment (B,L,D).
