DAY 1: Victoria Falls to Chobe National Park, Botswana 
A morning departure takes you from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe into Botswana. We’ll cross the Zimbabwean border and make our way to Chobe Safari Lodge on the Chobe River. Once we’ve reached the Lodge we’ll set up camp and enjoy the rest of the afternoon on a sunset cruise on the Chobe River. Here we can watch elephants, hippos, lions, crocodiles and a variety of birds and more without having to reach for our binoculars – You’ll be close enough for close-up photographs. [LD]

DAY 2: Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana 
We need to get up early, as today is our longest drive of the safari. We’ll head south to Planet Baobab and stop at the Magkadigkadi Pans to have a closer look. If the conditions allow we’ll take a drive onto the Pans. After appreciating the wide-open, uninhabited spaces under the endless canopy of blue sky, we step off for our final stop of the day, Planet Baobab. The rest of the afternoon we spend with a hike to the water hole and relaxing at Planet Baobab’s facilities. [BLD]

DAY 3: Maun and the Okavango Delta, Botswana 
After breakfast we head out for a Bush Walk with our local guide, learning about the history, flora and fauna of the area and use of various plants in traditional life. We then head off for Maun and onto a private concession and Mankwe lodge. Once we’ve set up camp – we go on a night game drive in the concession. This area lies between Moremi and Chobe and we’ll have the opportunity to spot a variety of nocturnal animals. [BLD]
