Large-spotted Genet safari

Large-spotted Genet: In full

This varied Botswana safari concentrates on two great game areas: the dry Linyanti Reserve, and the much lusher Okavango Delta, where you will stay for a total of 9 nights in three top safari camps: Xigera or Kwetsani Camp, Chitabe Lediba and Savuti Camp.

This itinerary gives a really broad game experience - the bird-watching is first-rate in Xigera / Kwetsani while the focus at Chitabe Lediba and Savuti Camp is more on big game – these areas have excellent populations of lion and leopard in particular.

This is an individual trip – so talk to us to tailor-make a similar holiday for you.

This Botswana safari can also easily be combined with a visit to Zambia to see the Victoria Falls. See our trips to Livingstone for examples of the add-on options, and the costs.
