This varied Botswana safari explores two different areas of the Okavango Delta and one of the drier private concessions further north, in Botswana's Linyanti region. You will stay atotal of 7 nights at three great safari camps: Stanley's Camp, Shinde and Linyanti Bush Camp. At Stanley's there is the chance to participate in a magical elephant experience (at extra cost). The bird-watching is excellent in all of these areas, but the trip really focuses more on big game in these wildlife-rich concessions. The trip is an individual trip – not a group trip – so talk to us to tailor-make something similar for you.

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.
