Pangolin safari

Pangolin safari: In full

This excellent Botswana safari concentrates on two great game areas: the dry Kwando Reserve, and the Okavango Delta, and you will stay for a total of 8 nights in three top safari game camps: Lagoon, Lebala and Kwara. All of these camps run their game drives using expert trackers as well as guides. Although the bird-watching is excellent, the trip really focuses more on big game – in areas which have excellent populations of lion, leopard, cheetah and, especially, wild dogs. The trip is an individual trip – not a group trip.

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

The trip is an individual trip, and can be tailor-made and adapted to suit you.

Day 1

Starting from London Heathrow, your scheduled overnight flight takes you to Johannesburg.

Days 2-3

2 nights at Lagoon Camp (full board & activities) | Kwando-Linyanti area, Botswana

Lagoon Camp is spread along the bank of the Kwando River.In Jo'burg you connect to a scheduled Air Botswana flight to Maun, where you are met and swiftly flown by light aircraft to Lagoon Camp in the wild Kwando Reserve. You usually arrive in time for a late lunch, and are based here for 2 nights.

Days 4-5

2 nights at Lebala Camp (full board & activities) | Kwando-Linyanti area, Botswana

Lebala is a remote and tranquil camp in the very North of Botswana.After your morning activity, you head south on a 4WD game-drive transfer. This takes a few hours, depending on the wildlife you see along the way. You will also observe the landscape changing as the journey progresses - more open plains will appear, and more of the game that frequents that environment. Your base for the next 2 nights is Lebala Camp.

Days 6-9

4 nights at Kwara Camp (full board & activities) | Okavango Delta Safari Reserves, Botswana

When you land, the airstrip is barely five minutes' drive from Kwara Camp, which is tucked into the leafy shade of a tree island, in the middle of vast open floodplains. This will be your base for the next 4 nights.
