Suggested Holiday Itinerary
Summary Of The Route and Costs
Live out the adventure of a lifetime as close to nature as you can get. Combine staying at comfortable but still luxurious mobile safari tent with an en-suite bathroom at a secluded campsite in the game-rich Chobe National Park, followed by a 5 night stay in the UNESCO World Heritage Site - the Okavango Delta.
You begin with 2 nights literally 'under canvas' in the heart of the Chobe National Park. Green shadows on the walls of your tent and the sweet fragrance of morning dew on bush vegetation welcome each new day, and steaming hot water in your en-suite bathroom’s bucket shower refreshes and revitalises you. Crisp linens and a spacious double bed welcome you after a long day filled with discovery.
During your stay here, embark on the Pangolin photographic safari boat, especially tailored for both the photography enthusiast and the wildlife admirer. This complimentary half-day adventure allows travellers an incredible visual advantage and the unique opportunity for close-ups of the magnificent fauna and flora of the Chobe River. The boat is custom built and fitted with state of the art cameras for every passenger. A professional photographer is on board to provide budding shutterbugs with practical advice and examples during their time on the boat.
Then you fly into the Okavango Delta, staying at 2 camps here. Your first camp is AndBeyond Nxabega Tented Camp, overlooking the expansive lagoons and channels of the Delta. Sensitive off-road driving practices allow guests here to get up close to the area’s exceptional wildlife. Afternoon drives continue after night, allowing for an opportunity to see the many animals that are more active at night, including leopard and serval. Lion frequently hunt at night and there is always a chance of coming upon them feeding on a kill.
Finally, you end with 3 nights at AndBeyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge - but getting here is an adventure itself as you are whisked through the sky in a helicopter, for an amazing scenic journey skimming across the Delta waterwasy. Sandibe features breathtaking architecture that is serene, earthy and organic. Twelve elegant suites are elevated above the landscape and feature magnificent Delta views, as well as private plunge pools, cosy fireplaces and secluded nooks. The lodge is situated in a private wildlife concession adjacent to the Moremi Game Reserve and offers exceptional game viewing opportunities.
