Upon arrival in Maun, you will have the opportunity to enjoy an optional scenic flight over the Okavango Delta (time and weather permitting).

Activities Included

Today, we participate in the most rewarding and enjoyable way to explore and experience the beauty and serenity of the intricate system of lily covered channels and lagoons by Mokoro in Botswana. Heading out early, we will be transferred by safari vehicle to the poling station (approximately 1 hour transfer) where we will meet the polers (boat polers) who will be escorting us into the Delta. The polers will steer us through the serene area of narrow, reed lined channels which open out onto beautiful lagoons. Reaching one of the many islands, a nature walk may be taken with your poler. After the walk, we return by Mokoro through the channels back to the poling station. While the Mokoro trail is not primarily a game viewing area, a variety of game may be encountered in this pristine wilderness area, including elephants, giraffes, kudu, impalas and zebra.

Activities Included

Today, we travel to the Ghanzi district in the central Kalahari and in the afternoon we will be able to enjoy a guided walk with our San hosts. This provides us an opportunity to learn more about the San culture and interaction with their Desert environment. Then later tonight, we get a first-hand experience of the San culture, well known for its rich traditions of song, dance and story-telling. The nomadic San are hunter-gatherers that have passed down a rich knowledge of the plants and animals that play such important roles in their lifestyles.

We start early this morning as we continue west and cross the border into Namibia, travelling onwards to the capital city of Windhoek. Upon arrival in Windhoek, we will take a short walk through the city centre and have the opportunity to view some its better known landmarks. (Our accommodation for the night is situated halfway between the city and the airport).

Leaving the city of Windhoek early, we have a full day of driving ahead of us, which will allow us to reach the gates of Etosha National Park in the late afternoon. We begin with our first exciting game drive as we enter the park and travel the short distance to our campsite for the day, where we will rest up overnight, in preparation for the next day.

Etosha is the venue for some of the most unique game viewing experiences in Africa. Today, we allow for a full-day to explore the edges of the Etosha Pan in search of the abundant wildlife that resides in and frequents the park. Our truck offers us an elevated platform and we will spend some time at the many waterholes dotted throughout the park, in order to get a wholesome experience.

We will rise early today and enjoy our last exciting game drive through Etosha as we make our way to the gates and exit the park. All that is required of you today, is to sit back and enjoy the gorgeous scenery of rugged mountains and dry river beds.

Activities Included

The Brandberg (Burning Mountains) are regarded as the highest in Namibia and home to the famous White Lady, one of more than 45,000 rock paintings in the area. After reaching our destination for the day, in the afternoon, we will make the spirited 1-hour hike to visit the painting that is said to be around 2,000 years old. (Please be advised that the hike does traverse rough terrain along the gorge of the normally dry Tsisab River).

The massive granite formations of Spitzkoppe tower 700 metres above the desert plains below and the presence of rock art indicates their significance to the San people who lived here many years ago. Today, we will enjoy a walk with a local guide and have the opportunity to view some examples of the San’s rock art before setting off for the seaside town of Swakopmund. Swakopmund is well known for its many adventure activities, coffee shops and rich German influence.

Otherwise, you will be transferred to the airport and this riveting tour comes to its conclusion - Bon Voyage!
