Leopard Safari
This Botswana safari, to the Linyanti Reserve and different areas of the Okavango Delta, stays in three well-appointed safari game camps – for a total of 10 nights – including Tubu Tree, Little Vumbura and Selinda Camp. This trip's big game viewing and bird-watching are excellent, and you'll be staying at first-class camps which are small and intimate, with outstanding guides. 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.

Starting from the UK, your scheduled overnight flight will take you from London Heathrow to Johannesburg. |
In Jo'burg you'll connect to a 2-hour scheduled Air Botswana flight to Maun; where you'll be met and flown to a small airstrip in the Jao concession, a private reserve on the western side of the Delta. You'll be based there for 3 nights for some superb birding, and the game sightings from Tubu are generally the best in this reserve. For further details of Tubu Tree, click below – |

A 20-minute flight takes you into the Okavango Delta to Little Vumbura. You land at Vumbura's airstrip, then it is a game drive, followed by a short journey by boat to camp - through forests, across plains and open glades – taking time to stop and look at game. Vumbura has small, wooded islands and rich floodplains, resulting in great density and diversity of game. For the next 3 nights, your comfortable base is - |

A very short flight takes you into a different and contrasting area - the Selinda Reserve. Selinda Camp is a small camp that stands on the edge of the Selinda Spillway. Activities concentrate on day and night drives, and short walks can sometimes be arranged. Spend your next 4 nights at – |

You probably have time for a morning activity before your light aircraft flight from the Selinda Reserve to Maun. There you connect with your scheduled international flight to Jo'burg, and onto a scheduled overnight flight home. |

Arriving back in London Heathrow, early in the morning, it will hardly be as lovely – but then you will have a superb Botswana safari to look back on! |

Notes:
- Botswana's camps fill quickly, especially its smaller ones like Little Vumbura and Tubu Tree, so it's important to book early to secure your first choice of dates and camps. Ideally book 10-12 months before you want to travel.
- Flight upgrades to premium economy and business class seats for the intercontinental flights are usually possible; check with us for details.
