Sitatunga safari

Sitatunga safari: In full

This excellent Botswana safari concentrates on two great game areas: the dry Kwando Reserve, and the much lusher Okavango Delta, where you will stay for a total of 9 nights in three top safari game camps: Nxabega Camp, Sandibe Safari Lodge, and Lagoon Camp. Although the bird-watching is first-rate in these reserves, the trip really focuses more on big game – in areas which have excellent populations of lion, leopard, cheetah and, especially, wild dog. The trip is an individual trip – not a group 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.
