BOTSWANA -
Fly-In Safari (BFI009)
5
Days / 4 Nights - Moremi & Chobe Safari
|
Routing Highlights:
MOREMI GAME RESERVE - Moremi extends east
and northwards to join Chobe National Park, ensuring a continuous area of
protected land all the way to Kasane. Because Moremi reserve and Chobe
National park are not fenced, animals are able to follow their own migration
routes without interference, and use of the land adjacent to the officially
protected areas is also carefully controlled.
Moremi is lush and varied – a patchwork of lagoons, shallow flooded pans,
plains and forests. It is one of Africa’s finest areas for wildlife, with
particularly high game densities. The animals found here are numerous, relaxed
and often allow vehicles to approach closely.
CHOBE NATIONAL PARK - Located in the northern Kalahari region;
the Chobe National Park was named after the Chobe River which runs along
Botswana's northern border. The National Park covers about 11,700km² and
consists mainly of dense thorny bush emerging from deep alluvial soils; this
park is world renowned for the magnificent array of wildlife contained within
its borders.
THE CHOBE RIVERFRONT - The Chobe Riverfront forms part of the
Chobe National Park and is located on the northern border of Botswana, this
pristine wilderness, ranges from the verdant flood grassland and thickets
beside the Chobe River to forest, Mopane woodland and scrub.
Along the riverfront the wildlife roams in profusion and diversity. The
elephant population, estimated to number in excess 30,000, is the largest
single concentration in Africa surviving within the confines of a proclaimed
National Park.
During the harsh season, the herds migrate south to north and congregate along
the perennial Chobe Rivers fertile flood plains. Bird life is abundant and
diverse with in excess of 450 species recorded.
