Days 1-3: Kalahari Plains Camp, Central Kalahari Game Reserve
» After arrival in Maun, you are met and assisted with your air transfer to the Kalahari Desert to Kalahari Plains.
» Kalahari Plains Camp is located in a new concession within the productive and diverse area of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR).
» Kalahari Plains is at present a private Explorations-style camp, containing 6 spacious Discoverer Meru-style tents with a central main canopy tent that provides shaded comfort, couches, a reference library and central bar.
» Within this massive Game Reserve and as a result of the diversity of habitats, healthy game populations move seasonally between dune and valley depending on the season.
» The big game includes the sensational black-maned Kalahari lion, as well as one of the highest concentrations of cheetah in southern Africa, leopard, brown hyaena and even caracal. Small predators include meerkats (suricates), Cape fox, honey badger, black-backed jackal and a myriad of mongoose species. General game viewing is fantastic and this is a premium desert game location year round.br />
Days 4-5: Jacana, Xigera or Seba Camp, Okavango Delta
» The Okavango Delta represents the extreme contrast of a water-filled world in an otherwise arid desert: abundant water, sunlight and soil combine to form a paradise bursting with life.
» The difference between the Kalahari and the Okavango becomes amazingly clear even as we fly from the one to the other. Accommodation on this leg of the trip is at Jacana, Xigera or Seba Camp, all situated in the heart of the Okavango Delta's myriad waterways.
» During winter, thanks to the high water levels, Seba is transformed into a water camp, with water-based activities taking precedence, such as mokoro, motorboat excursions and fishing, as well as walks and the usual game drives.
Days 6-7: Lianshulu Camp, Kwando River, Mudumu National Park, Namibia
» We depart by aircraft to the Kwando airstrip from where we enjoy a boat ride on the magnificent Kwando River to scenic Lianshulu Lodge situated inside Namibia's Mudumu National Park.
» Many typical savannah species occur in the area including buffalo, zebra, wildebeest and waterbuck with elephant and hippo being particularly abundant.
» Predators are sometimes encountered and around 400 bird species have been recorded in the East Caprivi.
» Hippo, crocodiles and fish such as bream, tigerfish and catfish can be seen from the lodge's deck.
Day 8:Toka Leya Camp or The River Club, Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, Livingstone, Zambia
» After a light breakfast, we depart by road to Livingstone, Zambia.
» This interesting 5-hour drive takes us across the Caprivi Strip and into Zambia via the border town of Katima Mulilo in Namibia.
» After crossing into Zambia, we drive through beautiful teak forests and African villages, stopping to visit the old cathedral of Mwandi.
» We arrive in the early afternoon at the new Toka Leya Camp or the Edwardian-style River Club, both situated on the banks of the Zambezi River in the eastern sector of the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, upstream from the Victoria Falls.
» This is an area of spectacular scenic beauty: from the Falls themselves to the broad, picturesque course of the Zambezi River upstream, the rainforest adjacent and the stark jagged gorge downstream.
» Activities on offer in the area at an additional charge include sunset cruises, helicopter flights, micro-lighting, canoeing, jet boating, white water rafting and fishing amongst others.
Day 9: Victoria Falls, Transfer to Livingstone Airport
