Itinerary

Expand all | Collapse all

This morning you will fly from either Kasane or Maun across a swathe of the Kalahari Desert to the Okavango Delta. Note - Return scenic light aircraft flights Kasane or Maun / Delta not included in the trip cost - ask us for costs, which are subject to change and availability. If you are staying at Victoria Falls you can arrange a road transfer from your Victoria Falls accommodation to Kasane airport in Botswana (at an additional cost). Flying in a small plane (normally a 6 seat Cessna) it’s a fantastic opportunity to put this natural wonder into perspective. Your aerial view over this incomparable wilderness will leave you in awe and eager to begin exploring all it has to offer from the ground! Approximate flight times to the Delta: Kasane (1 hour 45 minutes), Maun (25 minutes). Upon arrival at the Moremi Crossing airstrip you are literally on the doorstep of Gunns Camp or a five minute boat transfer (included) to Moremi Crossing. Both lodges are superbly appointed along the river and interlacing waterways with a spectacular open air dining area where it is not uncommon to watch elephants, hippos and birds from the deck. Spacious tented camps will be your home for the following nights all fitted with beautiful furnishings, attached en suite and an open air shower. In the evening you’ll fall to sleep with the sounds of the Delta all around you – an unforgettable experience! You will be at one with nature at these camps as there is no internet connection or telephone reception, the food is scrumptious and there is an open bar 24 hours. All meals and most beverages included (except for premium imported wines, champagnes and spirits). After 3pm you’ll enjoy your first scheduled activity (all scheduled activities are included) on board a small motorised boat where we explore the outer water ways. Expect to see elephant, buffalo, crocodile and hippos but many other wildlife encounters are also possible. A sundowner drink and nibbles are carried on board so that you may stop somewhere special to watch one of the Okavango’s famous sunsets. Overnight: Moremi Crossing or similar.

Meals: L,D

Early morning is possibly the best time to be out and about exploring the Okavango Delta. The air is cooler and the wildlife more active, so you’ll be amply rewarded for rising early! Our scheduled morning activity is by mokoro which are a tranquil way to enter the world of small narrow waterways, which lead to the islands where we can take a walking safari. Each mokoro is managed by one of the naturalist guides who on land, brings to life the wildlife in revealing fascinating information about the species of mammals, birds and reptiles that you’ll encounter. We return to camp for brunch and a siesta – followed by more wildlife viewing, heading into the early evening. Sunset over the Okavango is an unforgettable experience – and when there is some cloud – an even more inspiring composition – so be sure to always have your cameras near by. Overnight: Moremi Crossing or similar.

Meals: B,L,D

We have time this morning for one more adventure in the realm of the Okavango, then you will take your return flight to either Maun or Kasane (flight at own expense). Our trip concludes on arrival.

Extra trip info

Will My Trip Run?

Every departure date advises whether the date is confirmed, and roughly how full it is. Here is what each one means.

Is the departure confirmed?

Guaranteed to go This departure has reached its minimum number and will run.
It is the point travellers should wait for before booking any non-refundable flights.

Close to guaranteed This appears only when a date is close to reaching minimum numbers. If it shows 1 or 2 to guaranteed, book as a pair on a date needing two and it reaches its minimum. Your booking confirms the date for everybody already booked.

How full is the date I am looking at?

Space is filling or Space is filling fast This date has bookings and places are still open. Filling fast means limited spots available, so don't leave your decision too late.

Closing soon Down to its last few places, or close enough to departure that we are finalising numbers. Still bookable online.

Closed Not bookable online - either full, or inside the notice we need to arrange permits, flights and logistics. Ask us anyway, you never know!

Availability questions answered

Will this trip actually go ahead, or could it be cancelled?

If a date shows Guaranteed to go, it runs regardless of further bookings.

What does 2 to guarantee mean?

It means two travellers are enough to confirm the departure. It could be 2 more to add to the group, or the date only needs 2 people to run. Either way, if you book for two people, the date will become guaranteed to run.

What happens if my departure does not reach minimum numbers?

You will know the status before you book. Every date on this page is labelled, and dates marked “Guaranteed to go” are running regardless of further bookings. Where a date has not reached its minimum we either offer a surcharge to operate for a smaller group size so it can still run, or we cancel it. We contact you directly either way.

Will I get my money back if you cancel a departure?

If we cancel a departure due to not meeting minimum trip numbers, you receive a full refund of everything you have paid us less any non recoverable costs, where insurance may cover you. We cannot refund money committed elsewhere – additional non refundable deposits advised at the time of booking, flights, visas, vaccinations, gear - which is why it is worth waiting for “Guaranteed to go” before booking other arrangements around this trip date. Please read our Booking Terms and Conditions before you book.

Why can't I book some dates online?

Each trip closes online a set time before departure. Permits, internal flights and hut or campsite bookings all have to be arranged before we take payment. Call or enquire as it might still be possible to organise last minute places.

The date I want is closed. What are my options and why does it say to enquire?

Cancellations happen and places do open up on closed dates, so it is worth being on our list. We can also tell you which nearby date on the same trip has space, which is usually the faster route.

None of these dates suit me. Can you run this trip on another date?

Yes, as a private departure. We can run this trip on a date you choose, for your own group - family, friends, a club, or in many cases, just for the two of you. Tell us when you want to travel and who is coming, and we will build it around that.
