A Safari through Botswana's best wildlife reserves and Victoria Falls.
Those on the group flight arrive in Maun and transfer (30 mins) to our campsite located on the banks of the Thamalakane River. The campsite has hot showers, bar, swimming pool, and the restaurant is known for its good food and ambience. Those not on the group flight can arrive any time.Audi Camp or similar
We pack minimal gear for 2 nights into a smaller bag (bag provided), before a 4x4 transfer into the Okavango Delta. At the 'polers' station' we meet a new team of local staff from a nearby village who will look after us during our stay in the delta. With them we travel in mokoros deep into the Okavango Delta. We have lunch at our campsite on the banks of the river, and in the late afternoon we head out on our first game walk. We return to camp before sunset and enjoy our first meal in the African bush.Okavango Delta Wild Camp
We get up early this morning for a game walk with a guide from the poling team. There are never any guarantees whith wildlife, but there is the chance of seeing elephant, buffalo, and other smaller game. We return to camp for a well deserved brunch and some time to relax. In the afternoon we take a short mokoro trip on the river to view the sunset before returning to camp.Okavango Delta Wild Camp
This morning we board our mokoros for the trip back to the polers' station. We meet our vehicle and transfer back into Maun for the night where we will purchase supplies for the days ahead. The afternoon is free to relax by the pool or take an optional scenic flight over the Delta.Audi Camp or similar
After a relaxed breakfast we head east to the vast Makgadikgadi Salt Pan. Depending on the season or if the pans are wet, we will camp wild on the pan or one of the campsites nearby. The Makgadikgadi Salt Pan covers an area over 16,000 square kilometres and forms the bed of an ancient lake - now dried up. The sunsets on the pan are truly spectacular.Makgadikgadi Pan wild camp or similar
A long drive north before crossing into Zimbabwe to the town of Victoria Falls situated minutes from the waterfalls of the same name. At the Kasangula border we complete the border formalities and continue to our accommodation for the next two nights. The falls themselves are over 1,700m wide and 100m tall making them the largest waterfalls in the world and are one of Africa’s most famous highlights. We will have the opportunity to find out more about the various activities on offer available for tomorrow.Premier Lodge or similar
Today is a free day to partake in one of the many optional activities on offer ranging from white water rafting to flights over the falls and various others.Premier Lodge or similar
This morning there is an opportunity to view Victoria Falls themselves from the Zimbabwean side. From here we drive back to Botswana. A short drive from the border to the town of Kasane where we camp on the banks of the Thebe River, a tributary of the mighty Zambezi. The afternoon is free, with an option to view game on the famous Chobe Waterfront by taking an exciting river cruise on the Chobe River. This is widely regarded as one of the best game cruises in Africa with a very good chance of seeing the elephant herds coming down to the river to drink before the sun sets.Thebe River Camp or similar
We take an early morning game drive back to the Chobe Waterfront area. Chobe is famous for its large population of elephants, but is also home to plenty of other exciting game including lion and wild dog. After exploring the Northern end of this huge park, we head south into remote and rugged terrain, passing in and out of the national park, before finally reaching the Savuti area at the southern edge of Chobe National Park. The Savuti Marsh, often dry, is fed by the Savuti river channel which alternately flows and then dries up for years at a time. Recent flooding has given this area new life. This area is also home to plenty of game, but is especially well known for its lions, and the large numbers of elephant that walk enormous distances to find fodder.Zwei-Zwei or Savuti Wild Camp
We take morning and afternoon game drives on the Savuti Marsh. There is a good chance to see lion, cheetah and hyena that follow the seasonal zebra migration through this area. Large secretary birds and kori bustards are often seen strutting around the Savuti marsh and small red-billed francolins provide a noisy morning wake up call.Zwei-Zwei or Savuti Wild Camp
After breaking camp we drive all the way to Moremi Game Reserve. We pass through a variety of habitats including the Mbabe depression, Mopani forest and past great Acacia trees before arriving at Khwai village and the North Gate entrance of Moremi Game Reserve. Moremi National Park is the jewel in Botswana's wildlife crown. Protecting much of the northern part of the Okavango Delta, it is made up of waterways, marshes, islands and open grasslands.Moremi Wild Camp
We'll go on morning and afternoon game drives through this beautiful protected area, trying to find the large variety of animals that live here. Despite its wet reputation, there is plenty of dry land in Moremi, which allows our game drives to cover significant distances while spotting game in the sometimes dense vegetation. As well as elephant and lion, Moremi is a good place to spot leopard and cheetah, and the red lechwe, a water dwelling antelope, often seen grazing amongst the lilies.Moremi Wild Camp
We go on a final game drive through the park this morning before travelling back to Maun, and back to our riverside campsite. We can enjoy the swimming pool before our last dinner at the campsite restaurant.Audi Camp or similar
Those on the group flights will be taken to the airport in time for their flight home. The trip officially ends after breakfast for those not on the group flights.

11 nights full-service camping (in two-person tents with camp beds and
mattresses provided) 2 nights in hotel, lodge or chalet.Travel by Toyota Land
CruiserSome long and bumpy roadsStaying in some remote locations
Expect some long and hot drives as we travel between game parks in this large
country. On some days we travel on tarmac roads, but a lot of distance is
covered on dirt and sand roads. Depending on water levels, driving in the
delta can also be challenging. As a full-service camping safari, we have a
separate supply vehicle with a camp crew who set up camp for us. The camp
crew will also cook the food, wash the dishes and attend to all camp chores
so that you can sit back and enjoy the wilderness experience. We normally use
Botswana Tourism (HATAB) sites, which are only available for private groups.
There are no facilities so we use bush toilets and a bush shower. These sites
are not fenced and have no running water. We carry a water supply on our
vehicles and fill up daily from public sites. There is plenty of water to
wash with but we must be sparing; this all adds to the remote wilderness
experience! Other nights will be spent in developed camp grounds with
facilities usually including toilet blocks, a bar and, sometimes, a swimming
pool. October and November are the hottest months, but are also good for game
viewing, please see the weather section for more information. Legal Note: all
group members joining this tour will be asked to sign an indemnity form at
the start of the holiday. This indemnity form is a requirement of the South
African Tourism Service Association which our local supplier is a member of.
As a client of Exodus Travels Ltd, your rights under the Package Travel
Regulations (1992) are unaffected, and Exodus remains liable for the actions
of our sub-contractors.

campsites. We supply all the camping equipment with the exception of your
sleeping bag and pillow. The tents are spacious and comfortable (2.4 x 2.4 x
1.8 meter). We supply camp beds with mattresses, which are about 5cm thick,
warm and comfortable. The camp chairs have a backrest and we use standard
plates, cups and cutlery. Most of the public campsites have swimming pools.
Please note that the HATAB campsites in Chobe Game Reserve are located
throughout the Savuti area and may include the Zwei Zwei pan. As this trip
mostly involves wild camping, wifi is rarely available.Single supplement

share a chalet/cabin with another member of the group. However, you will
still have a single room to yourself.

cooking. The tour leader is assisted by a driver / guide, and for larger
groups there will be a support vehicle with two staff.

Travel is by a long-wheelbase 4WD vehicle, seating 12 in 4 rows of 3. The
vehicle has a solid roof to protect the group from the sun and canvas sides
that are mostly kept up for great game viewing. We use this vehicle as it is
perfect for wildlife viewing which is the main focus of our trip. It does
mean, however, that it can get windy when on road transfers between safari
parks. When we have small group sizes we will use a trailer for our
equipment, for large groups, there will always be a support vehicle. The
vehicle has evenly spaced foot holes for access to the back (rather than
doors) and is manageable for any reasonably fit person. Drive times:Maun to
the Okavango Delta and back about 2hrs each wayMaun to Makgadikgadi – about
4hrsMakgadikgadi to Victoria Falls – about 7hrs including border
crossing Victoria Falls to Kasane – about 2hrsKasane – Savuti – about

should you decide to make your way independently.
There is no best time to go in terms of game viewing or conditions in the
Delta, as the Delta flows all year round, despite its flood periods. The
wettest season is January and February when travel on dirt roads becomes
difficult. March to September, although dry and bright, can be cold at night
(in June and July it really can be chilly on occasions so bring appropriate
gear). Water levels in the Delta will be at their highest in July. From
December to June water levels in the Zambezi are at their highest, and the
spray can be seen several miles away as it soars sometimes as much as 500
feet in the air. October and November are the hottest months, and midday
temperatures can be very uncomfortable. The rains normally start slowly in
late November. December can be wet, but it does not rain for long periods and
should definitely not put anyone off travelling, as there is always plenty of
sunshine.
In addition to your 'normal' daily clothes ‐Neutral coloured clothes (for
the game walks)Long sleeved clothing and long trousers to wear when the sun
goes down to protect skin from mosquito bitesSome warmer clothes, windproof
jacket and warm fleece for the winter months (June‐August temperatures at

toilet paperWet wipes or hand sanitizer gelTowelHead torch (with spare
batteries)Water bottlePlastic bottles are a big issue in many countries where
recycling isn't yet widely available; they often end up in landfill sites or
get burnt, both processes are harmful to the environment and we would like to
reduce our impact here. For your trip, we have decided to include drinking
water in order to reduce the amount of plastic used. This means that safe
filtered drinking water will be available throughout which means all you need
to do is bring a bottle to re‐fill along the way. Please add this to your
packing list!
Binoculars and a camera with a zoom lens (at least 300mm) if you want good
animal shots.It is possible to get laundry done in Maun and Victoria Falls.
