This extensive and varied Botswana safari explores the beautiful wet environments of the Okavango Delta and contrasting areas of the drier regions further north : you will stay for a total of 13 nights in 5 different safari camps - Linyanti Bush Camp, Lagoon Camp , Mapula Lodge, Xakanaka, and Kwara Camp. From these camps you will be able to experience the full range of activities in a variety of wildlife-rich areas: including day and night game drives, boating, guided walking and mokoro trips.

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.
