Each day below shows where you go, what you experience, and where you can stay—luxury, mid-range, and budget lodge options included.
Arrive at Maun Airport, Botswana, and fly by shared charter to Kanana Camp in the Okavango Delta. Enjoy two nights on full board. Flying out of Maun Airport, you will notice a dramatic change in the landscape under you: leisurely flowing rivers and sparkling floodplains, lined by palm trees and sprinkled with islands - the Okavango Delta.
Accommodation: Kanana Camp
This is quintessential Botswana: elephants, hippos, big cats, giraffes, and buffalo—and your destination is Kanana Camp, located in a magnificent private concession. The regular floods turn areas of this concession into a veritable water paradise, giving visitors the best of both worlds. Because of the camp's position, guests may enjoy spectacular wildlife sightings while driving, as well as the unique experience of exploring the delta's gorgeous waterways by boat or Mokoro. When out on game drives, our window seat guarantee assures that no more than four guests per car can utilize a camera mount individually.
Accommodation: Kanana Camp
Shinde's main area is designed in a "treehouse style" and includes lounges, dining places (indoor and outdoor), and a fire deck, all with stunning views of a permanent lagoon and shaded by ebony and mangosteen trees. The tents and main area offer a luxurious experience with a hint of historical charm.
Accommodation: Shinde Camp.
Courtesy of its location Shinde can provide both water and land activities year-round. Motorboats or Mokoro allow visitors to see the magnificent bird, plant, and reptile species that live in the Okavango Delta's aquatic habitat. A personal guide leads game drives in comfortable, purpose-built cars. Guided walks are also offered for the more daring, and fishing enthusiasts can catch a variety of species, including tilapia and tigerfish. Game drives are limited to four passengers per car.
Accommodation: Shinde Camp.
After breakfast and a final morning game drive, you'll move to a bush airstrip and take a 30- to 40-minute fly back to Maun Airport to complete your safari. Maun is the local travel hub for Southern Africa, with flights to Victoria Falls, Cape Town, and Johannesburg; for additional information on an appropriate route.
