African Safari Itinerary

Day 1-3: Makgadikgadi Pans Guests are met at any location of their choice in either Johannesburg or Pretoria from where they are transferred to the O. R. Tambo International airport for a flight to Maun and from there an onward connection to the Makgadikgadi Pans. The Makgadikgadi Pans are the world’s largest salt pans and are the remnants of a vast lake that existed in Botswana millions of years ago. Guests spend three nights at Jack's Camp on a bed and breakfast basis. Two activities are included daily. These range from quad biking on the pans to experiencing the signs of the area in the company of a bushman tracker as well as enjoying the antics of a meerkat family as their behavior and social patterns are closely watched. During the wet season the pans host hundreds of thousands of flamingo that visit the pans to lay their eggs and hatch their young.
Overnight: Jacks Camp
Meals: Full Board

Day 4-6: Okavango Delta A morning activity at Jack's Camp is followed by breakfast after which a light charter flies clients to the heart of the Okavango Delta. The Okavango Delta is the world’s largest inland delta which forms where the Okavango River empties onto a swamp in an endoergic basin in the Kalahari Desert. The area is roughly 15 000 square Kilometers in size. Mombo is located on Chiefs Island, the largest land mass in the delta which is roughly 1000 square kilometers in extent. The Island boasts some of the finest game viewing in Botswana and was named in honor of Chief Moremi, who used to hunt the area. Guests spend three nights at Mombo Camp with two game activities included daily. One during the early morning and one during the late afternoon. The game activities comprise both land and water based game viewing accompanied by an experienced ranger and tracker.
Overnight: Mombo Camp
Meals: Full Board

Day 7-9: Linyanti A last Okavango Delta Safari is followed by breakfast after which guests board a flight to Linyanti and the luxurious Kings Pool Camp. The Linyanti Wildlife Reserve is bordered by the Linyanti River in the North and the Chobe National Park in the East. It is one of the most remote and inaccessible areas in Botswana which varies greatly from the Okavango Delta and is sure to provide an incredible Safari experience. Guests spend three nights at Kings Pool Camp on a full board basis with two game activities included daily. The Camp is one of the most exclusive and luxurious in Africa and was named for a Scandinavian Monarch who spent some time camping on the banks of the lagoon in years past.
Overnight: Kings Pool Camp
Meals: Full Board

Day 10: Livingstone A last morning game activity in Linyanti is followed by a flight to Kasane where guests are met; from here the safari makes its way into Zambia and on to Livingstone. Livingstone is the town located on the Zambian side of the mighty Victoria Falls. Upon reaching Livingstone guests are assisted with check in at the Royal Livingstone. The late afternoon is spent at leisure.
Overnight: Royal Livingstone
Meals: Breakfast

Day 11: Livingstone The morning is devoted to visiting the falls section of the "Mosi oa Tunya National Park". The name translates to" the smoke that thunders" which is the name locals have given the Victoria Falls. The sanctuary affords incredible views of the falls and during the dry season we walk across to Livingstone Island for a heart stopping peak across the edge of the falls. The park is home to the last Rhino in Zambia and guests might sight Zebra, Giraffe and from time to time Elephant also pass through the area. In the late afternoon a sunset cruise is enjoyed on the mighty Zambezi River. Traditional cocktails and snacks are served aboard the river boat. The sight of the setting sun over one of Africa's most impressive areas will surely be remembered.
Overnight: Royal Livingstone
Meals: Breakfast

Day 12 : Departure
A last glimpse of the thundering Victoria Falls is followed by breakfast after which guests fly first to Maun and from there onward to Johannesburg. Guests are met upon arrival at O.R.
