This afternoon you will have the option of doing a scenic flight over the Okavango Delta or a trip in a dugout canoe (Mokoro), water levels permitting. Explore the beautiful water lily covered lagoons and papyrus fringed channels of the Delta. These Mokoro trips are a wonderful way to go game viewing, as you can closely approach animals such as Elephants and Zebra without disturbing them.

Day 2 – 3: Okavango

After breakfast you will head north towards the Moremi Game reserve. The road will take you through scrub, forests and dry floodplains. You spend 2 nights here and you will explore the area on game drives, night drives and bush walks.

Savute is known for its wildlife and in particular predators and the lodge is in the perfect position to access the best of the area.

Day 6: Chobe

Heading north to the Chobe River you will spend the next 2 nights, perfectly situated on the banks of this beautiful river.
