Day 2 JOHANNESBURG-MAUN-MENO A KWENA | Meals: BLD
This morning, transfer back to the airport for the flight to Maun (flight not included). Continue by road to Meno a Kwena Camp.
Meno a Kwena is quite possibly Botswana's best-kept secret. Hidden halfway between the Okavango Delta and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the camp sits perched on a 100-foot cliff overlooking the Boteti River and the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. The camp's easy-to-reach location (just ninety minutes by road from Maun), unique wildlife watching opportunities, and diverse roster of activities make it the perfect complement to any Botswana safari. While Meno a Kwena offers a complete desert game viewing experience, some of the best wildlife action happens right in front of camp. As the only source of permanent water in the area, the Boteti River is popular with resident game and migrating herds alike. Surprisingly large groups of elephants congregate here year round. During the dry season (May to November), guests are dazzled by Africa's second largest zebra migration as it makes its way through. The area is also home to many desert antelope species found nowhere else in northern Botswana, as well as white rhino, hippo, giraffe, lion, leopard, hyena, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, and more.

Day 4 HYENA PAN | Meals: BLD
Drive back to Maun this morning, and continue by light aircraft flight to Hyena Pan.
Hyena Pan is a tranquil and comfortable tented camp located in the sprawling Khwai Private Reserve.

Day 6 SKYBEDS | Meals: BLD
A highlight awaits this evening as you spend the night at Skybeds, located deep within the Khwai Private Reserve. As the name suggests, these are no ordinary safari accommodations. Each 'room' is actually a three-story raised platform overlooking the wildlife-rich 200,000-hectare reserve. Charmingly rustic, yet suitably stylish, each Skybed is illuminated by lanterns at night, providing loads of romantic ambiance. And don't worry, we haven't forgotten the most important part; there is a fully enclosed bathroom on the first floor with flushing toilets.
With such spectacular skies overhead, you could be forgiven for forgetting about what's happening on the ground. The Skybeds overlook a water hole�in one night we've seen wild dogs, lions, elephants and hyena! Don't forget to keep an eye (and ear) out for elephants, eland, zebra and kudu, and an assortment of smaller nocturnal species, such as porcupines, bushbabies, genets, jackals and honey badgers. We can't guarantee you will get much sleep, as there will be far too much to watch and listen to, but what a story to tell back home. During the day, you can head out for a game drive in the private reserve, where you may spy lion, leopard, wild dog, kudu, waterbuck, red lechwe, eland, impala, roan, buffalo, warthog and much more.

Back at camp, your home in the bush is one of our comfortable, spacious and stylish tents. Elevated onto raised decks, each of the camp's twelve luxurious tents has an uninterrupted view of the lagoon, with en suite bathrooms, private verandahs and private, indoor & outdoor showers where you can wash off the dust of each truly memorable day. Two of these are comfortable family units with two comfortable interconnected tents. End a day of exhilarating game viewing with a night drive where you will encounter nocturnal creatures such as leopard, spikey porcupines and fearless honey badgers.
