Botswana: Desert and Delta (8n) – Classic

We start with three nights in the exceptional Linyanti region. Home to three of Africa’s finest private reserves, this is a first-class big-game area that’s famous for privacy, exclusivity (the major reason for the increase in cost over our value safari), and some of the best game viewing on the continent. Selinda Explorers is the camp we have cherry-picked for these three nights; it's an exceptional authentic tented camp.

Board basis and activities:
Selinda Explorers is booked on an all-inclusive basis including all food, drinks, and safari activities. Days are designed by the guides when you arrive in the camp, with standard game drives by day and night available as well as walking safaris and mokoro (subject to water levels) – all included in the price.

After three days at Selinda, we fly in to the Okavango Delta, the jewel in Botswana’s crown. In this wetland paradise, lily-scattered floodplains and palm-fringed islands are features of Africa’s most stunning game viewing environment, along with stacks of big game. Your home for the next three nights is Shinde Camp in the Shinde Reserve, an outstanding property that we’ve used for years.

You will finish the trip with a couple of nights in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Although game viewing may not be as good as what you will experience in the Okavango Delta and Linyanti, nowhere else in Africa do you feel such a total sense of space, freedom, and wilderness. A two-night stay at Kalahari Plains will give you a truly unique experience in a wilderness like no other!

Kalahari Plains is booked on an all-inclusive basis including all food, drinks, and safari activities. Days are designed by the guides when you arrive in the camp, with standard game drives by day and walking with the bushmen included in the price.

On Day 9, you will fly back to Maun in time for your international flight.
