Wings
over the Okavango & Linyanti Safari
Premier destinations in Botswana - any duration
This is a flying safari,
which departs every day of the year to any of the camps
in our website in the Okavango and Linyanti, for any
duration of time. Each safari is customized to each guest's
requirements. Guests can create their own itinerary to
visit their preferred camps. Resident guides at each
camp will host their guests throughout their area.
In the Okavango and Linyanti,
there are several contrasting types of area - the Okavango
areas offering water activities like mokoro-ing, boating
and walking; those which offer a mixture of both land
and water experiences, and those with land-only activities.
To the northeast, the Linyanti / Kwando / Selinda areas
offer a very different wildlife experience.
All accommodation, all meals, all activities, all park and concession fees
are included in your fare - as are all local drinks. The Safaris can be started
or ended in either Maun, Kasane or Victoria Falls. Maun is linked daily from
Johannesburg on Air Botswana's services. Prices vary according to where you
start and finish your safari. This safari is customized to an individual's
needs and can last up to 14 days or longer. |

On
arrival in Maun, you clear customs and then meet up with a
safari representative. You then board a light aircraft for
an air transfer to the camp of your choice - and enjoy the
twice-daily activities on offer at the camp.
In order to get a true Delta experience,
we recommend a visit to 2 different Okavango camps; one which
is more water-based for mokoro (traditional canoes) safaris,
boating and water-based wildlife and another which offers a more
land-based experience. Some
of the "Delta specials", such as water-dependent antelopes like
the Sitatunga and Red Lechwe are found in the permanent water
areas. Birding is also superb. |

From
your camp, you generally enjoy the last morning's game drive
and are then flown to your next camp, where you are met by
your guide and transferred to camp in open 4x4 Land Rovers.
The land-based camps in the Delta
offer game drives and walking (at certain camps) although some
also offer water activities depending on the time of year. These
camps offer better opportunities to see some of the larger herbivores
in their herds - i.e., zebra, buffalo, giraffe, impala, kudu,
etc. |

Safari Camps

From
your Okavango camp, you generally enjoy the last morning's
game drive and are then flown to your next camp to the north
in the Linyanti / Selinda / Kwando section of norther Botswana.
These areas provide guests with
a different wildlife experience - the areas are well-known for
habitats much preferred by elephants, lions and wild dogs. The
Linyanti River flows along Botswana's northern border and eastward
where it connects with the Chobe river and eventually the Zambezi. The
Savuti channel also originates in this area and it, combined
with the river provide diverse habitats, making the area a superb
wildlife viewing environment. Birding along the river
is also excellent.
Activities are enjoyed around the
Savuti Channel or Linyanti River on boats, vehicles or from hides. |
Day 7
Safari ends.
You are flown back to Maun or Kasane for the end of your safari.
Note that we also offer this safari with the popular Victoria Falls add-on, staying
on either the Zimbabwe or Zambia side of the Zambezi river.
