Dinner will be a braai (african barbeque) hosted by our Safari Company. The dinner will be the perfect moment to present the group members. Included meals: dinner

Day 2 – 5 Photo Safari: Moremi Game Reserve
The Moremi Game Reserve is considered by many wildlife enthusiasts as one of Africa’s most outstanding wildlife sanctuaries. It covers a considerable section of the Okavango Delta. In 1963 the local BaTswana people set aside one third of the Delta to protect it for future generations. It consists of an impressive variety of habitats with enormous concentrations of wildlife, including one of the largest populations of the endangered African wild dog. As the animals found here are both numerous and somewhat more relaxed by safety in numbers, vehicles often approach quite closely. The Moremi Game Reserve is a heaven for wildlife and photographic safaris in northern Botswana and we are likely to enjoy amazing animal encounters. During our stay in the Kwai River area and Moremi Game Reserve there will be included an excursion in Mokoro (local Canoe) and the visit to a local village nearby where we will have the occasion to have a somewhat “non-touristic” way to observe local live.

Day 5 – 8: Safari Adventure Savute – Chobe National Park
Today we change camps from Moremi Game reserve to Chobe National park Savute; we drive along the Khwai River before we turn on the dry and dusty Mahbabe Depression road. Lunch Picnic and game drive en route.
There is a river that flows through Savute, from time to time. When it flows Savute is a paradise in its own right. The river empties into a marsh, where the green flush that comes with the water suddenly attracts a variety of species into Savute. From antelope to predators, birdlife and fishes. All will find a heaven here. The opposite is a different picture, of dry dusty open country. The sun baked sand and its hostility is no home for the weak. There is life though that remains, and indeed survival of the fittest plays itself out to the last bull elephants, which never leave come what may, because Savute has been home, for their entire lives or the legendary pack of 40 lions hunting elephants. Savute is going through a transformation that will not end soon. A place to be seen to understand its magic…
Savute is one of the places most loved by the best wildlife photographers of the World and everybody knows the famous BBC documentaries filmed right here.
Our tents will be set on the bank of the great chanel, under shady Kalahari apple leaf trees.

Day 8 – 10 Safari Adventure Chobe River Front
Today we change to Chobe River Front, we drive through the Chobe Forest Reserve before we turn to the Chobe River Front for some more game viewing. Lunch Picnic and game drive en route. The Chobe River is one ot the most beautiful African rivers with an unique biodiversity and an unrivaled concentration of wildlife. The river and its surroundings are famous for the huge herds of elephant and buffalo that in dry periods come to drink to the river bank. Sometimes you can see hundreds of elephants at the same time, sometimes you are completely surrounded by elephants that cross the road to reach the river where they dringk, bath and play. Further there are lots of different antelopes, giraffes, warthogs and, of course, the predators – lions, hyenas, leopards and jakals. The area is also fantastic for birdwatchers: majestic fish eagles, owls, bee eaters, kingfishers and many others can be observed, especially from the water.

Day 10 – 12 – Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe)
We drive from the Chobe River towards the Zimbabwean border and then to Victoria Falls. On the waya picknick will be arranged. The Explorer’s Village in Victoria Falls.
