This Botswana safari, to the Linyanti Reserve and different areas of the Okavango Delta, stays in four well-appointed safari game camps – for a total of 10 nights – including Duma Tau, Kwetsani, Tubu Tree and Little Vumbura. 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.
