Your time is spent at leisure, partaking in the many optional activities available in the adrenalin “Capital of Africa”. Activities include rafting the wild Zambezi, canoeing, microlighting, gorge swinging, jet boating, elephant riding and more! The brave can do one of the highest bungy jumps in the world or for the more adventurous, a rhino walk in the National Park. You can also visit the markets, which are filled with great craft souvenirs. The evenings are spent camping on the banks of the mighty Zambezi. (BD)

Up at daybreak, we have the opportunity to venture out on an open vehicle game drive into the famous Chobe National Park (optional). After breakfast, we depart for Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta. (BD)

Days 6 & 7 Okavango Delta Botswana

We venture into the wilderness of the Delta, greeted by the local guides in mokoros (traditional dugout canoes). We explore the pristine waters of the Delta by mokoro and enjoy game walks in search of the abundant wildlife that inhabits this oasis in an otherwise arid region. We set up camp on an island in the Delta and enjoy our evenings under the African skies. (BLD)

We leave behind the tranquillity and memories offered by the Delta on our last mokoro trip before transferring back to Maun. Our journey continues to Leroo La Tau Lodge “Spoor of the Lion” which is situated near the dry Boteti River.
