Travel itinerary
-
Upon arrival at Victoria Falls Airport, you will receive a warm welcome and be transferred to your lodge on the Zambezi. During a guided tour of the falls, you will see how the Zambezi plunges into the Batoka Gorge, with mist and sound dominating the landscape. Each viewpoint offers a different perspective, depending on the light and water level.
In the nearby Zambezi National Park, you can explore the area by 4x4 or boat. Along the river, you will see elephants, buffalo, and antelope, while predators tend to stay in the shade. The combination of safari and river activities provides variety without long journeys.
-
After a transfer to Kasane, you board a small plane for a panoramic flight to Moremi. From above, you can see how waterways and islands alternate. Once you land, you find yourself in one of the most wildlife-rich areas of Botswana.
Safaris in Moremi are all about attention and timing. You follow tracks in the sand, observe behavior at the water's edge, and see how predators adapt to their environment. Boat trips through the lagoons offer a more peaceful perspective, with plenty of attention for birds and smaller details in the landscape.
-
You continue your journey to the Okavango Delta, a unique ecosystem that is constantly changing. The water level determines where you sail, walk, or drive, and no two days are the same. You glide through shallow channels by mokoro, explore islands on foot, and reach wider waterways by boat.
You will stay in a private concession, where different habitats come together: palm islands, river forests, permanent swamps, and dry plains. Safaris are tailored to the conditions at the time, allowing you to follow the rhythm of the delta rather than a fixed program.
-
After a final morning in the delta, you say goodbye to the guides and camp team. A short flight takes you to Maun, where your return journey begins.

Best time to travel
Our highlight of the trip
"The moment when everything comes together is when you glide through the Okavango Delta by mokoro. Without a motor, at the pace of the water, you hear how the landscape lives: birds above you, reeds moving gently, hippos in the distance. After days of safaris on land and along rivers, here you understand how water determines the rhythm of Botswana."
