Kalahari Skies 12 day Botswana Special

A very special trip, real adventure is the new: 'Botswana all–in-one'.

12 day Safari – Highlights: Nxai Pan - Makgadigadi National Park | Boteti River │ Central Kalahari Game Reserve │ Moremi Game Reserve │ Bushman Experience │ Mokoro trip │ Authentic Village tour

Day 1 - Nxai Pan NP (camping)

Your guide will meet you at Maun Airport on your arrival. After a short briefing by your guide we head for Nxai Pan NP where we still have time for a sunset drive. During dinner you’ll have a complete explanation by your guide about the rest of the tour and you can ask all you want to know about the country and its people.

Day 2 - Nxai Pan NP (camping)

We make a morning drive in the area where we can meet the Kalahari species: black-maned lions, suricate, honey badger, springbok, oryx,…. Back to camp for lunch and late afternoon we visit the salt pans and make a game drive in the vicinity of our camp. Dinner at the campfire.

Day 3 - Meno a Kwena Lodge

We head South to our destination: a lodge on the edge of the Boteti river overlooking the Makgadigadi NP. We have a interesting walk with Bushmen to learn about their survival skills and culture and who wants can join on a night drive to spot the nocturnal animals.

Day 4, 5 & 6 - Central Kalahari Game Reserve (camping)

We make an early start with coffee/tea and a healthy snack before boarding our game viewing vehicle to head off to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Once inside the Park a game drive takes us to our camp for the night. Dinner is enjoyed around the campfire at our exclusive campsite. Days 5 & 6 are spent game viewing in and around thewell-known Deception Valley area where we have set up camp in the northern section of the Park.

Day 7 - Maun - guesthouse

We leave after a last short game-drive and arrive for lunch in Maun, the gateway to the Okavango delta. For those who want, a flight over the Okavango Delta can be organized at own expense. We book into our private guesthouse along the ThamalakaneRiver, splendid views and a superb sundown are enjoyed on the deck. Time to relax and shower before dinner.

Day 8 - Mokoro trip

We rise early and after a healthy breakfast we once more board our game viewing vehicle: Today we make a short drive to the edge of the Okavango delta where we go to explore the lagoons using dugouts (mokoros). We make a bushwalk on one of the islands and enjoy a picnic lunch. Once back in the village we take a walk to learn how the people live traditionally along the Okavango. We are back at our guesthouse late afternoon.

Day 9, 10 & 11 - Moremi Game Reserve (camping)

An interesting game drive takes us to Moremi, where we have set up our camp for the next 3 nights. The Moremi Game Reserve is the perfect area for large herds of elephants, zebra, wildebeest and giraffe families, not forgetting the many predators that follow them. Early morning and afternoon game drives are planned for the days with brunch and time to rest up and shower in between.
