This excellent Botswana safari concentrates on two great game areas: the dry Kwando Reserve, and the Okavango Delta, and you will stay for a total of 7 nights in three top safari game camps: Kwando Lagoon, Lebala and Kwara. All of these camps run their game drives using expert trackers as well as guides. Although the bird-watching is excellent, the trip really focuses more on big game – in areas which have excellent populations of lion, leopard, cheetah and, especially, wild dogs. 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.
