Safari Camp Jump
to Okavango
Delta Safari Camps
|
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.
The land-based camps in the Delta
offer game drives and walking (at certain camps) in some of
the Okavango's most scenic and private areas. These
camps offer better opportunities to see some of the larger
herbivores in their herds - i.e., zebra, buffalo, giraffe,
impala, kudu, etc. |

Nights)
Okavango Delta; Water-based
Safari Camp Jump

Delta Safari Camps

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.
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, fishing and water-based wildlife. 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 here. |
Days 5 - 7; (3
Nights)
Linyanti / Selinda / Kwando
safari camp Jump
to Linyanti
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. |

On arrival, guests are checked
into their hotel on a bed and breakfast basis, leaving them
free to eat where they please and take in any of the wonderful
activities available in the falls. A tour of the Falls
and an evening sunset cruise on the river are included.
You might want to sign up
for white water rafting, elephant back riding, a helicopter
flight over the Falls, etc, or you may want to enjoy the area
at a more leisurely pace; in this case, you will need to book
into the Falls for two nights.
