Day 1
Arrival & First Encounters in the Wild
Arrive at Chobe Airstrip and transfer by road (30 min) to Wilderness Savuti Camp. After settling in, begin your safari with a morning game drive followed by a guided nature walk, offering a closer connection to Botswana’s wilderness. Encounter elephant tracks, vibrant birdlife, and immerse yourself in the peaceful rhythm of the bush.

Day 2
Big Game & a Night Under the Stars
Enjoy an afternoon game drive, spotting elephants, antelope, and predators along the Savuti Channel. Spend midday at the log-pile hide, where elephants often drink just steps away. As night falls, experience the magic of sleeping beneath the stars in the Savuti Star Bed, surrounded by the sounds of nocturnal Africa.



Day 3
Boating Safari & Nocturnal Wildlife
Spend your final day in Linyanti exploring by water and night. A boating safari offers sightings of hippos, crocodiles, and waterbirds. Later, embark on an exciting night drive to uncover Africa’s elusive nocturnal wildlife—bushbabies, civets, and if you're lucky, even a pangolin. This is untamed Africa at its most intimate.

Day 4
Journey Into the Delta’s Heart
Depart Savuti with a 30-minute road transfer to Chobe Airstrip. Fly to Chitabe, then drive 30 minutes to camp. In the afternoon, enjoy a game drive through acacia woodlands and open plains where lions and wild dogs roam. Cap the day with a guided walk, absorbing the pulse of the Delta up close and on foot.

Day 5
Predator Tracking & Twilight Photography
Start early with a game drive, ideal for photography and predator encounters in golden light. In the heat of the day, unwind at the log-pile hide, quietly observing wildlife at close range. As evening descends, a night drive reveals the nocturnal cast—genets, owls, and the thrill of spotting a stalking leopard.

Day 6
Birding & Delta Serenity
Immerse yourself in the rich birdlife of the Delta—scarlet-chested sunbirds, African hawk-eagles, and more. Spend time in the hide or on a final game drive or bush walk. Celebrate your last evening in Chitabe with sundowners by the fire, exchanging stories under the vast Botswana sky filled with stars.

Day 7
Arrival by Air & Mokoro Magic
Depart Chitabe and transfer to Chitabe Airstrip (30 min). Fly to Vumbura, followed by a short drive and 10-minute motorboat transfer to Little Vumbura. This afternoon, embark on a mokoro excursion, drifting silently through lily-dotted channels—ideal for spotting frogs, birds, and the stillness of Delta life.

Day 8
Plains Game, Predators & Night Discoveries
Set out on a morning game drive to track wild dogs, lechwe, or lions across the floodplains. In the afternoon, unwind with a boat cruise or guided walk. As twilight falls, experience a night drive through the concession, scanning the dark for glowing eyes and the thrilling presence of elusive predators.

Day 9
Last Moments in the Delta
Make the most of your final full day. Choose between a game drive, a tranquil mokoro ride, or an expert-led birding tour in search of wattled cranes and fan-tailed widowbirds. Watch elephants bathe in the shallows and raise a toast to your unforgettable Botswana journey with sundowners by the fire.

Day 10
Departure & Reflections of Africa
Enjoy a final breakfast before your transfer by motorboat and road to Vumbura Airstrip. Reflect on a journey through Botswana’s wild soul—from predator-filled plains to peaceful waterways.
