Well respected as one of Africa’s premier luxury companies, &Beyond offers superb value for money, especially from October 2019 to June 2020. We rate this as one of the best-value luxury safaris on the market, particularly for October, May, and June.

The first two days of your trip will be spent at Chobe Under Canvas. This is a classic mobile tented camp, moving between various sites alongside the Chobe river. Next, you’ll head to Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp, a very luxurious base camp from which to explore the south-central region of the Okavango Delta! Finally, you’ll stay at Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge, another deluxe property, which has a fabulous location close to the wildlife-rich Moremi Game Reserve.

Chobe Under Canvas offers expertly guided game drives, river cruises, and photographic boat cruises too. Drives and boating are also available at Nxabega, as are bush walks, mokoro excursions, fishing, helicopter flights, and, for junior safarists, &Beyond’s WILDChild programme. And Sandibe’s things to do include vehicle and walking safaris, helicopter rides, and, again, plenty to keep the little ones occupied.

On the third day, a Chobe Under Canvas staff member will return you to Kasane Airport via shared road transfer.

The last part of your vacation is spent in the Delta’s southern region.

Its communal lodge is modelled on one of the Okavango Delta’s own residents – the pangolin! Within this charming structure, you’ll find a luxurious lounge, library, bar, and interactive kitchen. Sandibe has a safari shop too, as well as a spa and a gym for keep-fit fans. Guests are accommodated in 12 air-conditioned suites, constructed mostly out of timber.
