This luxurious Botswana safari takes you to top camps in the Linyanti Reserve and the Okavango Delta – staying for 3 nights at Vumbura Plains, 3 nights at Zarafa, and 2 nights at Little Mombo. This is one of our top big game safaris, with camps that offer the height of safari style and comfort, and some of the region's best game.

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.

Day 1

Starting from London Heathrow, your scheduled overnight flight will take you to Johannesburg.

Days 2-4 Okavango Delta Safari Reserves, Botswana

In Jo'burg you connect to a scheduled Air Botswana flight to Maun, where you are met and flown by light aircraft (about 35 minutes) to the northern of the Okavango Delta. It's a short game-drive back to camp, in time for a late lunch. For your first 3 nights you enjoy the luxury and wildlife of –

Vumbura Plains (full board & activities)

Days 5-7 Kwando-Linyanti area, Botswana

Today you take a short flight hop (about 35 minutes in the air) to the Selinda Reserve, and after landing are driven by 4WD back to camp, viewing game on the way. This is one of Botswana's top reserves, with great densities and diversity of game – and you enjoy 3 nights here at what's probably Botswana's most exclusive and opulent camps –

Zarafa Camp (full board & activities)

Days 8-9 Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana

After another short flight hop (50 minutes), you arrive in Botswana's finest game area bar none: Mombo, on Chief's Island, in Moremi Game Reserve. The guides here are excellent, the camp delightful, and the game usually stupendous. We suggest that you spend your 2 nights here at the smaller of the two camps –

Little Mombo (full board & activities)

Day 10

After a light aircraft flight from Mombo to Maun (about 30 minutes), you'll connect with your scheduled international flight to Jo'burg, and onto a scheduled overnight flight back to London Heathrow.

Day 11

Arriving back in London Heathrow, early in the morning, is always a bit of a letdown – but then you will have had an absolutely amazing safari!
