Explore two (2) of Botswana’s iconic wilderness areas on this 5–day safari. Moremi Game Reserve and Khwai Concession are wildlife-prolific and varied ecosystems made up of a patchwork of lagoons, shallow flooded pans, open grass plains and woodland forests. You will take a mokoro(canoe) ride to explore the waterways of the largest inland delta on earth. This mokoro excursion gives you a chance to see huge herds of elephants, grazing antelopes and sneaking wild cats from a completely different perspective.
Today, we will pick you up in the morning and journey with you northwards to Moremi Game Reserve for a (2) night stay.
Moremi is situated in the central and eastern areas of the Okavango Delta and covers about a third of the total land area of the Okavango Delta. At about 3900–square kilometres Moremi as a reserve is unfenced. This allows for free movement of animals within the Delta according to their seasonal migrations. Moremi boasts of diverse ecosystems ranging from floodplains, lagoons, grasslands and riverine to mophane woodland. Thus, with such a wide variety of vegetation comes a diverse spectrum of wildlife.
You will enjoy your breakfast at Moremi's south gate. This breakfast typically consists of coffee, tea, juice, cereals, rusks, fruits, etc.
Thereafter, you will enter into game drive mode and spend the day searching for the wide variety of wildlife and birds that this area is famous for before being taken to your camp to spend the night.
Today you will wake up to enjoy an early breakfast. Shortly after breakfast you will go for a morning game drive. On this safari drive you should therefore, look out for the large herds of African elephants in the Mophane scrub, keep an eye on for the elusive African wild dogs, lions, leopards, etc.
You might also encounter birds of prey on this safari drive such as the mighty Martial Eagle, Tawny Eagle, the majestic African Fish Eagle and that incredible aviator–the Bateleur and many others.
We will return to our camp around noon for lunch and a much needed rest. In the afternoon we will set off once again in our safari vehicle for more birding and game viewing.
Come back to our camp just after sunset to have a shower and thereafter enjoy a campfire cooked dinner. We have two (2) nights at a wilderness campsite to marvel at this exceedingly diverse reserve that offers an untouched wildlife experience.
Today, after breakfast you will take a slow game drive through Moremi Game Reserve- a game drive that provides farewell to the area’s magnificent landscapes and mammals.
Finally, you will head northeast towards the Khwai Concession for a two (2) night stay.
At about 1800–square kilometres large, the Khwai is situated in the northeastern Okavango next to Moremi. It is a wildlife–prolific and varied ecosystem dominated by a patchwork of lagoons, grasslands, permanent flood plains and large areas of Mopane woodland forests. Khwai has a marvelous selection of predators such as lion, leopard, wild dog, cheetah, serval, African wild cat, etc.
In the afternoon you will go for your game drive and possibly watch the sunset unfold over the Khwai River.
Today, after an early breakfast you will go for your usual morning game drive. Your journey will follow the Khwai River’s watercourse weaving from the riverside and floodplains into the mophane veld and woodlands that make Khwai one of the most scenic areas of the Okavango.
The Khwai area boasts an excellent population of African Elephant, both solitary bulls and breeding herds. The swampy areas are home to Red Lechwe. Other resident species includes the Southern Giraffe, bufallo, Burchell’s Zebra, Tsessebe, the Greater Kudu, Impalas and various other nocturnal species. Khwai is also one of Botswana’s birding Mecca’s. As such the raptors and water birds are particularly abundant and make for some great photography.
Mokoro Excursion
The highlight today is a mokoro excursion along the Khwai River-part of the Okavango Delta system. During this mokoro excursion you should have some great encounters with aquatic birds and several species of mammals.
You will rise very early today and greet the fresh African morning with coffee and some light breakfast. After breakfast you will head out on your last safari drive in the Khwai Concession area as the early mornings normally offer an improved opportunity to view the predators.
You will return to camp at the end of your safari drive to enjoy a light lunch. When you are done with your lunch we will wrap up our safari and will give you time to collect your belongings and pack them up in the vehicle(s) in preparation for the journey back to Maun.
Our safari ends upon arrival in Maun. You will be dropped off at Maun Airport for your onward travel or to your lodge where you will relax and rest. This will give you enough time to relax and prepare for the next leg of your safari vacation or journey back home.
