&Beyond Botswana The Okavango Delta 2020

On Day 1 of your trip, you’ll touch down at Kasane Airport, where you’ll be met by a member of staff from &Beyond Chobe Under Canvas. Together with your fellow guests, you’ll travel to the camp via shared road transfer. Set up close to the River Chobe, the property comprises a mess tent for its lounge and dining areas, and five tents as guest accommodation. There’s also an adventurous campfire! Each guest tent features a comfortable bedroom, an en-suite washroom complete with bucket shower, and a private veranda where you can relax and enjoy river views. Activities focus on viewing the local wildlife, on expertly guided game drives and river cruises. Chobe is particularly famous for its immense concentrations of elephant! Other highlights include lion, leopard, buffalo, spotted hyena, giraffe, blue wildebeest, zebra, hippo, and over 450 bird species. Guests can also embark on photographic boat cruises, aboard Chobe Under Canvas’s own craft, the Pangolin.

Board basis and activities:

All-inclusive accommodation, featuring all meals, a selection of alcoholic and soft drinks, expertly guided game drives, and river cruises.

On the third day, a Chobe Under Canvas staff member will return you to Kasane Airport via shared road transfer. From here, you’ll fly to &Beyond Nxabega’s airstrip and a member of this camp’s team will take you to the property via shared road transfer. Nxabega is a classic water camp within a private concession, boasting beautiful views of lagoons, channels, and floodplains. Vistas across the Boro Channel are especially breathtaking from the camp’s communal structures, which contain its lounge, dining room, interactive food-and-coffee bar, spa, and safari shop. There’s also a boma and an inviting swimming pool! Guest accommodation consists of just nine tents, all in the shade of ebony and leadwood trees. Each offers a comfortable bedroom, pleasant seating area, en-suite facilities including indoor and outdoor showers, and private deck with swing-seat. Nxabega provides an impressive range of activities – expertly guided game drives, bush walks, boat cruises, mokoro excursions, fishing, and helicopter flights. Among the wildlife species to see here are all the big cats, plenty of smaller predators and herbivores, and ample birdlife. And there’s plenty to keep kids occupied, through &Beyond’s WILDChild programme.

Board basis and activities:

All-inclusive accommodation, featuring all meals, a selection of alcoholic and soft drinks, expertly guided game drives, walking safaris, boating safaris, and a laundry service.

The last part of your vacation is spent in the Delta’s southern region. Come Day 5, a Nxabega staff member will drive you and your fellow guests to the property’s airstrip, where you’ll board a flight bound for Chitabe Airstrip. On arrival, you’ll be met by a staff member from &Beyond Sandibe and you’ll travel to the camp via shared road transfer. This property is also situated within a private concession. 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. Every suite features a very well presented bedroom, lounge with cosy fireplace, and private deck with plunge pool! Sandibe provides a top-quality base from which to explore the South Delta on vehicle and walking safaris and helicopter flights. You can look out for four of the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo – in addition to numerous smaller mammals, and birds in their hundreds. The WILDChild programme is available here too, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

On your final day, a Sandibe team member will return you to Chitabe Airstrip via shared road transfer. From here, you’ll fly to Maun Airport, arriving in good time for your flight/s home.
