Botswana Solo Safari (10N) - Luxury

On Day 1, you’ll touch down at Livingstone Airport and travel to The Royal Livingstone Hotel via private road transfer. This hotel is one of the largest and most luxurious properties in the Victoria Falls region! Boasting comfortable communal spaces, including an immense lounge/bar and both inside and outside dining areas, it’s a very sumptuous base from which to explore the Falls. There’s a sundeck too, with views of the Falls spray, as well as gorgeous gardens incorporating a very welcoming swimming pool! The accommodation option we’ve chosen for you is the deluxe room, which features a Victorian-style bedroom with numerous modern amenities, an en-suite full bathroom, and river or garden vistas from a private veranda or balcony. The Falls are located just 5 minutes away, and among the activities you can enjoy are guided tours, river cruises, watersports, and helicopter flights. You could even start your safari early by going for a guided game drive in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park!

Board basis and activities:
B&B accommodation, including access to Wi-Fi. We recommend booking activities during your stay. All our safaris include a free private guided tour of the Falls, but to arrange days in full we would suggest asking one of our consultants for their recommendations.

On the fourth day of your holiday, you’ll leave The Royal Livingstone Hotel and have a private road transfer (min. 4 pax) to Kasane Airport. From here, you’ll fly to Selinda Airstrip and once you’ve arrived you’ll have a shared transfer to Selinda Explorers Camp. This camp is situated in a remote region of the Selinda Reserve, along the tree-lined banks of the Selinda Spillway. Its communal lounge and dining areas are housed in a tent apiece – both tents are open fronted, affording superb spillway views! Guest accommodation consists of just four tents, with each standard-size unit offering a pleasant bedroom, en-suite washroom including al fresco shower room, and private deck. Activities from Selinda Explorers comprise vehicle and walking safaris, and seasonal canoe trips. Among the reserve’s wildlife highlights are four of the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo! There are numerous smaller predators and herbivores too, such as cheetah, hyena, jackal, wild dog, hippo, giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, and various antelopes. And keen birders can watch out for fish eagle, saddle-billed stork, lilac-breasted roller, and many more.  

Board basis and activities:
All-inclusive accommodation, featuring all meals, a selection of alcoholic and soft drinks, all scheduled wildlife activities, transfers between the camp and Selinda Airstrip, and a laundry service.

After your stay at Selinda Explorers Camp, your safari continues to the Okavango Delta. You’ll have a shared road transfer back to Selinda Airstrip and you’ll board a flight bound for Omdop Airstrip. Once you’ve landed, you’ll have a shared transfer to Duba Explorers Camp. This property is found in the central region of the Delta, on a wooded island. The lounge and dining areas are set up in a large open-sided marquee, and there’s also a deck, where guests can relax, eat, drink, and enjoy the views! You’ll stay in one of the camp’s six tents. Similarly appointed to the tents at sister camp Selinda Explorers, each features a comfy bedroom, en-suite shower room, and private veranda. Also in common with the Selinda camp, Duba Explorers offers vehicle and walking safaris, and a seasonal water-based activity, in the form of boating safaris. Wildlife species you can expect to see include lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo (four of the Big Five), plus hyena, hippo, giraffe, greater kudu, tsessebe, and red lechwe. And there are a lot of bird specials too, not least white-backed night heron, wattled crane, and Pel’s fishing owl.

The second half of your stay in the Okavango Delta is spent at Wilderness Qorokwe.
