Kudu Safari

A luxury Botswana safari exploring the Okavango Delta staying at Nxebega Camp and the stunning Sandibe Lodge, with excellent guiding and some of the most prolific wildlife viewing anywhere in Africa.

Kudu Safari: Day-by-day

More detailed information of what each day entails, and the various places you’ll stay on the Kudu Safari. Everything we do is completely tailor-made so while this is an idea which works well, we’ll always design an itinerary just for you.


Day 1

Starts: Maun Airport

Day 1

Maun to Nxabega by light aircraft & 4WD

On arrival in Maun, you'll be guided to your light aircraft waiting on the tarmac for a scenic flight of about half an hour, affording a spectacular aerial view of the Okavango Delta. A guide from Nxabega will meet you for the safari drive to camp, taking about 15 minutes.

Nxabega Tented Camp

Full Board & ActivitiesOkavango Delta Safari Reserves, Botswana

Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp (formerly known as ‘Nxabega Safari Camp’) is set in an area of mixed woodlands and floodplains situated within a 70km² private concession in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, to the west of Chief's Island. The camp’s pedigree is good, and it aims for a very high standard of food, comfort and care. There’s both dry land and water around, and so it offers game drives as well as mokoro and boating activities.

"Brilliant, relaxing and busy,...Guides great"

Mr D.fromChelmsford

Arrived 2 Nov 2022, 3 nights

We think that Nxabega is a lovely safari camp – with beautiful new rooms, high standards of friendly service, good guiding and imaginative food. During the dry season, Nxabega isn't usually top of our list for guaranteed high game densities; then we think of this camp more for its water-based activities. But during Botswana's green season, the story is different: then game is generally less easily seen everywhere across the Delta, but Nxabega comes into its own as a relatively good choice for game viewing.

You'll have time for a morning activity at Nxabega before the short drive to the airstrip and your light aircraft flight east to Sandibe. On arrival, barely 20 minutes after take off, it's a leisurely game drive of an hour or so to Sandibe, watching out for wildlife on the way.

Arrived 15 Sep 2022, 3 nights

Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge is a uniquely designed lodge, where in our experience the guiding and service match the high standards of the lodge itself. This, coupled with an impressive track record for game viewing in the private concession around the lodge, makes Sandibe well worth considering for those in search of serious comfort and luxury in the Delta.

Helicopter Flight - Botswana

Helicopter Flight - Botswana

Various: from 30 minutes to half a day.

Low-flying, agile and offering superb views, helicopters are an ideal way to move around the Okavango Delta.You can use them instead of fixed-wing inter-lodge transfers or as an addition to other wildlife watching activities, and of course, helicopters can hover to allow that perfect pic, whereas fixed-wings can’t.
