Embark on an extraordinary 9-night, 10-day “In The Footsteps of the Great Explorers” safari, tracing an epic route from Maun to the Chobe Riverfront, covering Botswana’s most iconic and wild landscapes. Your adventure begins with a cultural immersion at Shorobe Village before settling into Losika Elephant Camp in the Southern Okavango, where you’ll spend two nights exploring the rich wildlife of the NG35 concession and Moremi Game Reserve through exhilarating game drives.
The journey continues with a full-day transfer through Moremi to the Khwai Community Concession, including a scenic boating excursion at Xakanaxa, where you’ll enjoy two nights at Saguni Safari Lodge, famed for its predator sightings and traditional mokoro trips. The safari then transforms into an intimate mobile adventure, with two nights each in the remote Mababe Depression, known for its large herds, and the legendary Savuti, a land dominated by dramatic predator-prey interactions. The expedition culminates with a night at a luxury lodge on the Chobe Riverfront, offering a spectacular sunset boat cruise amidst immense elephant herds. This fully inclusive safari combines diverse ecosystems, authentic cultural encounters, and the expertise of passionate guides for an unparalleled exploration of Botswana’s wild heart.
