This extensive Botswana safari explores the varied and beautiful wet and dry environments of the Okavango Delta and Linyanti regions: you will stay for a total of 13 nights in 5 top safari camps - Jacana, Duba Plains, Savuti Camp, Seba, and Chitabe. The Okavango Delta's bird-watching is world-renowned and each camp is situated in an area with its own bird and wildlife specialities: for example – sightings of huge herds of buffalo and great prides of lion at Duba are almost guaranteed; and Chitabe is known for its healthy wild dog population.

This safari to Botswana can 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 – not a group trip.
