What to expect

1

Upon arrival at Maun Airport, you will be welcomed by your ranger and guide before departing on a short 20 minute transfer to the peaceful Boteti Tented Safari Lodge. After check-in, enjoy a refreshing welcome drink and a brief orientation about your upcoming safari adventures. Spend some time settling into your comfortable tent and taking in the sights and sounds of the surrounding bush. As the afternoon cools, embark on a sunset mokoro ride along the Boteti River (subject to water levels). Glide quietly along the calm waters while watching for hippos, crocodiles, and the many waterbirds that frequent the riverbanks. Your experienced guide will share fascinating insights about the area’s ecosystem and wildlife. Return to the lodge to freshen up before gathering around the open fire for a delicious traditional dinner under the stars. The calls of the African night complete your first magical evening on safari.

Moremi Game Reserve

Wake up to the sounds of the bush and enjoy freshly brewed coffee and rusks before departing early for your full-day safari in Moremi Game Reserve. A continental breakfast will be served upon arrival at the entrance to Moremi before you venture into one of Botswana’s most celebrated wildlife destinations. A packed lunch will be served at a scenic spot deep within the reserve, allowing you to relax and take in the wilderness around you. Continue exploring until late afternoon, enjoying the ever-changing landscapes and wildlife encounters that make Moremi unforgettable. After your safari, proceed to Khwai Mokoro Safaris and Campsites, where you’ll spend the night under a canopy of stars in a dome camping tent. Guests may also choose to return to Boteti Tented Safari Lodge instead (no rate reduction applies). For those seeking additional comfort, an upgrade (at extra cost) is available to a tented lodge such as Saguni Safari Lodge or similar in the Khwai area.

Khwai

Wake early for a morning mokoro safari on the Mbudi River, when the stillness of the morning and the golden light create a truly magical Delta experience. Watch elephants drinking, listen to fish eagles calling, and enjoy the serenity of gliding through this natural paradise. Return to camp for breakfast and some leisure time to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. In the afternoon, head out again for a guided nature walk through the Khwai area with your ranger, discovering the smaller details of the ecosystem — animal tracks, plants, and traditional bushcraft. Alternatively, guests may choose to take another mokoro safari to further explore the tranquil waterways of the Mbudi River. Return to camp for your final dinner in the wilderness and enjoy your last evening by the campfire under Botswana’s starry skies.

Okavango Delta

After breakfast, depart for your return to Boteti Tented Safari Lodge via an exciting game drive through the Khwai Community Concession, one of Botswana’s most scenic and wildlife-rich areas. Explore the riverfront along the Khwai River, where elephants, hippos, and red lechwe are often seen feeding in the shallows. Continue to Dead Tree Island, a striking landscape dotted with skeletal acacias and teeming with birdlife and predators. Drive onward through the Mogotho area, a favourite among wildlife enthusiasts for its high density of game, and visit the hyena den, a special highlight that offers fascinating insights into the behaviour of these intelligent scavengers. Relax before the day’s highlight — a 45-minute scenic helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta and Boteti River. Marvel at the aerial views of winding channels, islands, and herds of elephants and buffalo below. Return to the lodge in the late afternoon for a relaxing final dinner around the fire.

Duration 45 minutes
