ITINERARY:
Day 1& Day 2 & Day 3:
Moremi Game Reserve
We meet at a pre-arranged point in Maun to begin the Buffalo Trail, which will
be advised upon booking. We drive through to Moremi Game Reserve, one of the
best wilderness areas of Botswana. The park covers swamp areas as well as dry
land. The next three nights are spent in this park searching for the wide
variety of animals and birds in the reserve, while absorbing the sounds and
beauty of this region. Game drives as the sun rises, and in the late afternoon
as the sun sets, are the norm, returning to camp for lunch and a siesta,
usually we move campsites to explore a different area of this diverse park.
Camping will be in private designated campsites where we erect bush
ablutions. (Meals: B, L, D)
Day 4 & Day 5:
Chobe National Park
Chobe National Park, with its diverse and striking landscapes, is our next
destination. As we continue our search for wildlife, we will traverse the
drier region of Savuti where bull elephants dot the plains. We then head
northwards to the Chobe River, where our game drives will meander along the
banks of the river, followed by the call of the majestic African fish eagle.
Camping will be in private designated areas with bush ablutions. (Meals:
B, L, D)
Day 6 & Day 7:
Livingstone - Zambia
A comfortable lodge in Livingstone, en-suite accommodation: We cross the
