| The 10-day Botswana
Explorer Expedition visits the Okavango
Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, Savute National
Park, Chobe National Park and Victoria Falls.
Explore crystal clear waterways before
stepping onto an overgrown island to view its
abundant wildlife. Adventure through pristine
sanctuaries in search of elusive game, track
down a predator in its natural habitat and
tuck into gourmet dishes, served next to the
mighty Zambezi. Day 1 & 2:
Okavango Delta
Upon arrival at Maun International Airport you
will be met by a CC Africa Representative and
assisted onto the scheduled light aircraft
transfer to Nxabega Airstrip where you will be
transferred to the camp site. Explore the
crystal-clear channels, islands and waterways
by mekoro (dug-out canoe), and enjoy
game-viewing walks on the islands. Spend two
overnights at our CC Africa campsite in a
private concession area with a complement of
camp staff to cater for you.
Day 3 & 4: Moremi
Game Reserve
You will be transferred by light aircraft to
Khwai – North Gate region of Moremi Wildlife
Reserve. Set-aside in 1963 by the Batawana
tribe, the Reserve is rated as Africa's most
beautiful wildlife sanctuary. Spend your days
on extensive and interpretive game-drives, and
two overnights camping in the Reserve.
Day 5 & 6: Chobe
National Park - Savute
Travel to Savute (5 – 6 hours overland game
drive) – excellent for lion and other predator
viewing – where you will spend two overnights
camping next to the dry Savute Channel.
Depending on the time of the year, huge animal
concentrations are attracted to this area.
Day 7 & 8: Chobe
National Park - Serondela
From Savute, move up to northern Chobe (4 – 5
hours overland game drive) where you will camp
for two nights in the Serondela area of the
National Park. This is the heart of elephant
country and you may spend many hours watching
the huge herds in and around the waters of the
Chobe River on game drives or private boat
cruise. Northern Chobe is renowned for its
large variety of bird and animal life,
beautiful scenery and magnificent sunsets.
Day 9: Victoria Falls
It is a short drive from Chobe National Park
to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe where you will
welcome the chance to wash off Botswana's
dust, relax over a cold beer, and enjoy the
varied entertainment and facilities at Matetsi
Water Lodge after a tour of the Falls
(entrance fee to the Falls is included in the
safari fare). Overnight accommodation is at
Matetsi Water Lodge in twin-bedded rooms with
private facilities. Dinner, Bed and Breakfast,
refreshments on game drives, scheduled
activities and laundry are included.
Matetsi Water Lodge is situated on the banks
of the spectacular Zambezi River just 40
kilometres (twenty five miles) upstream from
the magnificent Victoria Falls. Set under
Mangosteen and Waterberry trees, Matetsi Water
Lodge comprises three small, exclusive camps,
each with six elegant suites and beautiful
open thatched dining areas overlooking the
River.
