ITINERARY
Day 1:
Depart from "The Old Bridge" Maun at 10am by motor-boat - first on the Thamalakane River then up the Boro river
After the first 45 minutes passing through a rural setting we then cross the "Buffalo fence" and enter the Okavango proper
The next 4 hours are spent game and bird watching while navigating the reed channels of the southern Okavango on our way up to Chief’s Island - a light lunch of cold meats and salads will be served en-route
We arrive at our camp at Nxaraga Lagoon (19*33'42.21"S 23*12'23.32"E) at around 3pm, settle in and take a rest in the shade for a couple of hours
At around 5pm we depart on foot with a guide for a short 1 hour game walk around Nxaraga Island to stretch our legs
Arrive back before sunset that we enjoy with hippos from the boat in the middle of Nxaraga Lagoon
Arrive back shortly before dark to a warmed bucket shower and a hearty campfire cooked dinner
Retire at your leisure to your tent to fall asleep to the sounds of the Okavango Delta.

Day 2:
Wake up call at 5:30am for those wanting to go on an early morning game walk
Coffee/tea and rusks will be served for those wanting something before the walk
6am depart on foot with a guide for a three hour game walk, other than plains game there is a very real chance to spot the elusive leopard and bushbuck in the forests on the fringes of Nxaraga Island
Arrive back from your game walk to a full English breakfast
At around midday we depart Nxaraga, stop for a quick splash at a shallow sandbank to cool off and continue upstream for 2 hours gameviewing on the way.
On this part of the river there is a good chance of finding elephants playing in the river to ease the midday heat.
We will serve a light lunch en-route
Arrive at Xaxaba Campsite (19*31'55.07"S 23*04'36.99"E) at around 3pm, settle in and relax for a couple of hours
This campsite is one of the few places where Chief’s Island actually borders on the mainstream of the Boro River so the game walking possibilities are endless
At around 5 pm depart on foot for a one and a half hour game walk
Arrive back shortly before dark to a warmed bucket shower and a hearty campfire cooked dinner
Retire at your leisure to your tent to fall asleep to the sounds of the Okavango and most probably lions on Chief’s Island.

Day 3:
Wake up call at 5:30am for those wanting to go on an early morning walk
Coffee/tea and rusks will be served for those wanting something before the walk
6am depart on foot with a guide for a three hour game walk – Chief’s Island, being the biggest landmass in the Okavango Delta, offers the chance of seeing any or all of the game that this region has to offer
Arrive back from your game walk to a full English breakfast
Depart at 10am with guides in a Mokoro (traditional canoe) for a 3 hour cruise along side channels that are not navigable by motorboat
Meet the motorboat upstream and say goodbye to your Mokoro poler/guides
From there we go upstream to Jugu-jugu Island for a light lunch.
We will then spend the rest of the day game and bird viewing from the boat.
This is one of the most spectacular settings that the Okavango delta has to offer.
The wide open plains of this area is home to a large number of red lechwe (a semi aquatic antelope), lots of Crocodiles and birds
Arrive back shortly before dark to a warmed bucket shower and a hearty campfire cooked dinner
Retire at your leisure to your tent.
Day 4:
Wake up call at 5:30am for those wanting to go on an early morning walk
Coffee/tea and rusks will be served for those wanting something before the walk
6am depart on foot with a guide for a two-hour game walk
Arrive back from your game walk to a full English breakfast
Depart at 10am for a leisurely 7-hour boat trip back to Maun with a light lunch served en-route
For part of the return trip we will, if possible, use alternative channels
Arrive back in Maun at around 5pm.

We can book your flights from Johannesburg to Gaborone, Maun and Kasane. We also cover Victoria Falls and most of our trips end with some time at the famous Falls.

Come and join us for a Botswana safari of a live time.
