Serval safari
This luxurious Botswana safari concentrates on two areas within the Okavango Delta, staying at two of Botswana's premier camps: you will spend
3 nights at Jao Camp, in a large seasonally-flooded reserve dotted with islands on the western side of the Delta; and then
3 nights at Mombo Camp, an opulent camp situated on the game-rich Chief's Island, part of the Moremi Game Reserve.
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.
The trip is an individual trip, and can be tailor-made and adapted to suit you.

Starting from London Heathrow, your scheduled overnight flight with South African Airways or British Airways will take you to Johannesburg. |
In Jo'burg you'll connect to a 2-hour scheduled Air Botswana flight to Maun. From there you'll be flown by light aircraft over the Okavango Delta to a remote airstrip. A game drive through pretty floodplains and riverine forest takes you to your watery base for the next 3 nights – |
| Jao Camp (full board & activities) |
A 30 minute light aircraft flight takes you to Chief's Island in the Moremi Reserve. You'll then drive though forests, woodlands and open glades – all rich with game and birdlife – and usually reach camp in time for afternoon tea and an afternoon safari activity. There is sure to be plenty of wildlife activity during your 3 nights at the luxurious– |
| Mombo Camp (full board & activities) |
|
On your last day of safari, you'll probably have time for a morning safari drive before a short (30 minutes) light aircraft flight from Mombo to Maun. There you'll connect with your scheduled international flight to Jo'burg, and onto your overnight flight back to London Heathrow. |
|
Arriving back in London Heathrow, early in the morning, it's hardly as appealing as being in Botswana – but then you will have had a superb safari! |
