Botswana Safari

Wings over the Okavango & Linyanti Safari

Premier destinations in Botswana - any duration

Return to Scheduled Safari Packages

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.

Days 1 - 2; (2 Nights)
Okavango Delta;  Water-based Safari Camp
            Jump to Okavango Delta Safari Camps

Guest on a mokoro at a water-based camp in the Okavango DeltaOn 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.


Days 3 - 4; (2 Nights)
Okavango Delta;  Land-based Safari Camp
            Jump to Okavango Delta Safari Camps

Cheetah cubs seen at a land-based safari camp in Botswana's Okavango DeltaFrom 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.


Days 5 - 7; (3 Nights)
Linyanti / Selinda / Kwando safari camp
            Jump to Linyanti Safari Camps

Elephants in from of Savuti Camp in the Linyanti Reserve of BotswanaFrom 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.
