Chobe Budget safari
1 Night Chobe National Park
2 Nights Savute
2 Nights Moremi Game Reserve
2 Nights Okavango Delta
Day One Botswana Budget Safari: Trip starts in Kasane at 09:30 with a 3hr boat cruise into the Chobe National Park, world renowned for its huge herds of Elephant and Buffalo. Enjoy the sightings on offer, en route to a pickup point where you will be met by your game drive vehicle and transferred to our campsite in Ihaha. After lunch and settling in to your tents, an afternoon game drive on the riverfront is bound to impress with the abundant bird life and vast amounts of animal movement, as they come to quench their thirst in the Chobe River. We then head back to camp for dinner around the campfire.

Day Two and Three: Rise to an early breakfast and break camp to head for Savuti, an area well known for its prolific predators including Lion and Leopard. There is also an opportunity to view Cheetah and Wild Dog, two of Africa’s most endangered predators. We game drive our way from the riverfront through the Chobe Enclave to re enter the park at Ghoha Hills after negotiating our way over the notorious sand ridge and arriving at midday in time to set up camp and have lunch under the large camel thorn acacias. After settling in at camp we explore the area including the Bushman paintings and the Savuti Marsh. We return to camp to have dinner under the stars and listen to the nocturnal sounds of owls, Jackal, Hyena and maybe a Lion nearby…

Day Four and Five: Once again we rise to an early breakfast and break camp, heading south for Moremi. The entire transit is one long game drive with plenty of game viewing opportunities en route. We set up our camp in Moremi, for two nights, giving us a chance to explore the area at leisure without rushing and have lunch in our new camp. After settling in and having set up camp we head out on a game drive either to the Dombo Hippo Pools, or east along the Khwai loop both very rewarding areas to drive.

On early morning game drives we will be hoping to see the rare African Wild Dog and an abundance of other game, including Zebra, Giraffe, Tsessebe and a host of other plains-game species and hopefully predators.

Day Six and Seven: After breakfast we break camp and head for Maun. On route we pass by traditional villages, virtually unchanged by western influence. Upon arrival in Maun you will a light aircraft for a scenic air transfer into the delta, this section being the only one on the trip where we have the opportunity to stretch our legs on guided game walks. We arrive at camp in time to familiarize ourselves with the tranquil ambiance. The region is rich in bird life and there is a good chance of seeing any, or all of Africa’s big five.

Day Eight Budget Botswana safari: Later rise and after breakfast, scenic flight back to Maun where the trip ends.
(please note that there may be seasonal variations to this itinerary)

Guests have several options at this point.
Maun has several regular flights to either: Johannesburg, Cape Town, Windhoek or Kasane. Another option would be a bus to Windhoek.
There are also several charter companies that can charter flights to Vic Falls or Livingstone - prices available on request.

This trip is designed as a budget trip, with semi participation required - i.e. putting up your tent and assisting with certain chores like collecting firewood and packing. Days are long with long drives through the game reserves from one campsite to another. Meals will consist of typical hearty ‘bush cuisine‘, prepared on open fires and vegetarians need not worry, we cater for you too!

The trips will be conducted by skilled, licensed professional guides with your ultimate bush experience and safety at heart!
