Journey in Detail
Tau Pan, Central Kalahari - 2 nights
Upon arrival at Maun International Airport you will be met by your
pilot who will fly you to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve for
a two night stay at Tau Pan. Eight desert tents and a main area
overlooking a permanent waterhole make up this setting for a unique
experience. Well known for its fantastic characteristics that include
an abundance of bird and wildlife migrations, sprouting sweet grasses
and dramatic thunderstorms during the wet season, the Central Kalahari
Game reserve is and all year round experience. Springbok, gemsbok,
hartebeest are amongst less spread antelope that are found in this
area and predators include the black mane lions and the rare brown
hyena. Other species such as the famous black-mane Kalahari lion,
cheetah and bat eared fox are also present in the area.
Kwara Camp, Okavango Delta - 2 nights
After a seemingly short experience because of the vastness of the
desert you will be transferred by light aircraft to the Okavango
Delta on a private concession. Kwara Camp is situated in a treed
island on the edge of the permanent waters providing an all year
round Okavango experience with its combination of activities that
include mokoro trips (dug -out canoes), motor boat, fishing, day
and night game drives as well as bush walks., Kwara has 8 tents
that are set under a shady tree island overlooking the surrounding
mosaic of treed islands, lagoons, channels and grasslands and these
view can be enjoyed from a private deck.
Lebala Camp, Linyanti System, Northern Botswana - 2 nights
This morning, you will leave the Okavango Delta by light aircraft
for Lebala Camp located in the Linyanti where you will stay for
two nights. The camp lies on the shady banks of the Kwando River
among tall and ancient ebony and marula trees and under the watchful
gaze of the resident pod of hippos. Lebala Camp accommodates only
16 guests in luxury safari-style tents. Morning and night game
drives are conducted by knowledgeable guides and trackers in open
safari vehicles. This area is home to huge herds of elephants and
buffalo. There are few places in Africa where such concentrated
numbers of these animals exist, especially in the dry season.
Tongabezi Lodge, Livingstone, Zambia - 2 nights
After you stay at Lebala you will be flown by light aircraft and
then driven to Livingstone, Zambia. Voted amongst Africa’s
finest romantic hideaways and situated on the banks of the Zambezi,
Tongabezi Lodge provides an exclusive ambience and ideal location
to access the activities in the Victoria Falls/Livingstone area.
Canoeing, boating, fishing, trips to the local Livingstone Museum,
a candlelit dinner and an introduction to Simonga Village are all
included in the price of your stay. Trips to the unimaginable Livingstone
Island and to the famous Zimbabwean or Zambian side of the Victoria
Falls can be taken from here at extra cost. Bungee jumping, white-water
rafting, elephant back safaris and flights over the Falls are also
