16 day Botswana Overland Camping Safari

You will travel either by light aircraft or on sandy tracks to the heart of the Delta then continue by mokoro (traditional aquatic mode of transport) to a remote camp where you will spend 3 nights in true wilderness, exploring the area on foot and by mokoro.

There will be time to simply appreciate the remoteness and serenity of the area. Clients will have the opportunity to do an own expense game flight over the Delta on either day 4 or 7.  Late on day 7 you will return to the Drifters Manu Camp to freshen up before enjoying a catered meal. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner.

Days 8 - 12: Flexible Game Reserve Programme (Moremi / Savuti / Chobe)

You will pop back into Maun first thing in the morning for the group and guide to stock up with supplies for the onward journey. Now you will prepare for the game viewing part of the trip. Perched high on a well-equipped vehicle you will head north into the wilderness, passing remote villages along the way.

You will spend 5 days in these reserves, starting with Moremi, camping the first night near the well-known 3rd Bridge. Drift off to sleep to the howl of the Hyena or the earthy roar of a Lion, and even the deep grunt of a half-submerged Hippo. You will then head on north via Xakanaxa to camp near North Gate. This area is excellent for game viewing and an afternoon and morning drive along the wetlands will be conducted.

Then on up to Savuti, the area offers a multitude of game drive options and a very active campsite (keep the fruit well hidden from the roving Elephant, and the meat from the prowling Hyenas). The vegetation is constantly changing, from open plains, palm trees and marshland, to dense Mopane woodlands and Acacia scrub.

Moving into Chobe, famous for its large herds of Elephant, which gather on the floodplains, you will spend the morning exploring the banks of the majestic Chobe River. Here it is hoped you will see the Puku, found exclusively on the Chobe flats. You will then cross the border to spend the night in comfort at the Drifters Victoria Falls Inn. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner.

Days 13 & 14: Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Awaking in the adventure capital of Africa, it is with new excitement that we explore the amazing Victoria Falls, Mosi o Tunya (The smoke that Thunders). After admiring this wonder of the world, various other places can be visited and activities enjoyed - the tribal village, the big tree, the curio market and the crocodile farm.

An aircraft flip over the falls or a boat trip on the Zambezi River, white water rafting, bungi jumping, or an Elephant back safari are all worthwhile, but allowance must be made for the extra expense.
