Spend two nights at Shinde, including meals and locally selected beverages. Shinde is located on a private concession that allows for guided hikes, Mokoro excursions, and night drives, as well as game drives and motorboat rides. This mix of ecosystems supports a diverse range of species, including the rare sitatunga antelope and a thriving leopard population. Guided walks are also offered for the more daring, and fishing enthusiasts can catch a variety of species including tilapia and tigerfish.

Following breakfast, transfer to the airstrip and fly to Kanana for the second leg of your safari. Your two-night stay at Kanana includes all meals, chosen local beverages, and game viewing activities.
The activities in the Kanana Concession vary according to the Okavango Delta's rising and lowering levels. You can go on a game drive in open safari vehicles, with afternoon drives often lasting into the evening. Alternatively, you can explore the crystal-clear canals by Mokoro or motorboat and see the great variety of birds, plants, and reptiles that live there. Birding is excellent, with Kanana hosting a seasonal heronry, one of the largest in Southern Africa, which makes all visitors into passionate 'twitchers'. Guided bush treks are strongly advised, as is fishing for tilapia, African pike, and sharp tooth catfish.
