This is a great Botswana safari which combines 5 nights' stay in traditional safari camps within the Okavango Delta's Shinde and Kanana Reserves, spending 2 nights at the remote but comfortable Footsteps Walking Trail (which takes a maximum of 6 guests at a time), and where, under the watchful eye of experienced guides, you will discover the environment and wildlife on foot, in a walking-only area of the reserve.

This safari to Botswana can 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.
