Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive Johannesburg
Welcome to South Africa. On arrival, you will be met and assisted to the transfer to your airport hotel.
Overnight: OR Tambo Southern Sun
Day 2: Johannesburg-Maun-Kwando Private Reserve
Take the hotel shuttle back to the airport for your flight to Maun, where you continue on a light aircraft flight to your luxury camp in the Kwando Private Reserve.
This is a low-key luxury hideout with serious safari cred. There are tangled woodlands and winding waterways for afternoon boat cruises on the double-decker boat.
Lagoon was one of the first camps in this pristine, predator-rich wilderness. Tucked along the shady banks of the Kwando River in the remote Kwando-Linyanti region, elephants casually wander by the camp. In your room, there is a private deck, indoor ball-and-claw bathtub, outdoor shower, and enough space to do yoga with a view (or just sprawl dramatically with a G&T) as hippos grunt their approval from the water.
Lagoon Camp is that perfect Botswana paradox: that rare combination of hardcore wildlife, relaxed riverfront charm, and a family-welcoming atmosphere. It's raw and refined, thrilling and peaceful, wild and deeply relaxing. Come for the carnivores, stay for the soul.
Overnight: Lagoon Camp
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3 & 4: Kwando Private Reserve
Enjoy morning and afternoon game viewing each day of your stay.
Activities at Lagoon include game drives and night game drives, boating safaris, fishing, and off-road tracking.
Overnight: Lagoon Camp
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 5: Kwando-Okavango Delta
This morning, a scenic light aircraft flight takes you into the heard of the Okavando Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's largest inland deltas. You will have time to settle in before having lunch and an afternoon game viewing activity. Perhaps take a mokoro ride this afternoon and glide through the papyrus channels silently as you observe animals from the water.
Overnight: 4 Rivers
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 6 & 7: Okavango Delta
Enjoy an exclusive traversing area focusing on walking, game drives (off-road and night drives), and seasonal mokoro excursions.
Chosen for its amazing habitat variety and biodiversity, 4 Rivers Camp sits on the banks of the Tsum Tsum River, the source of the four crossings from which the camp takes its name.
To the west, the vast floodplains allow for excellent off-roading and tracking of predators. To the east, the Tsum Tsum River forms a mini-delta – a combination of wetland marsh and wooded islands that are best explored by mokoro and on foot. The largest of these islands, Maboa Island, is directly in front of the camp, and its forests can be discovered on safari walks which are a speciality at 4 Rivers.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 8: Okavango Delta-Central Kalahari
Take a light aircraft transfer to the your luxury camp in the heart of the Central Kalahari.
Tau Pan Camp has the distinction of being the first and only safari camp in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) – the largest game reserve in Africa. This is the ancestral home of the nomadic Bushmen people who have crisscrossed this land of extremes for thousands of years.
Overnight: Tau Pan
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 9 & 10: Central Kalahari
The camp is an understated oasis perched atop an ancient dune that overlooks the iconic Tau Pan (meaning Lion Pan in Setswana). This permanent waterhole is famous for its Kalahari black-maned lions, whose deep roars ripple through the dry air like rolling thunder.
Here, you'll explore your two full days in the desert are spent on drives and walks with our Bushmen guides and trackers who will help you uncover the Soulful Big. Then there's Deception Valley, made famous by the controversial Cry of the Kalahari book by Delia Owens, the same author as Where The Crawdads Sing.
Nothing is quite as it seems at first glance. Take a minute to look closer at the empty horizon and you'll see oryx marching across the dunes like desert royalty and cheetahs streaking across the grasslands in a blur of gold and dust. See that dry stick over there? Dig it up and you'll find a huge tuber filled with precious life-sustaining moisture.
And when the summer rains arrive, witness the area transform into wildflower meadows teaming with thousands of springbok, wildebeest, and hungry predators.
Day 11: Maun-Depart
Your unforgettable journey in Botswana comes to an end with a light aircraft flight to Maun, where you begin your homeward journey
