Activities Included
Boat Cruise Landscape photography Wildlife Photography Bird Watching Animal Tracking Bird Photography Camping Evening Drives Morning Drives Game drive Photo-safari Scenic Drive Fishing Township tour CultureWe will have an early departure from Livingstone and drive through the rolling hills bordering Botswana. We will cross into Namibia at Sesheke and continue South into the Linyanti region that exists in the South of Namibia on the border with Botswana – a stunning region of dense reeds and pristine waterways. An early game drive in the cool early hours of the morning will take place. The riparian woodlands that border the Linyanti River simmer with life of all shapes and sizes, a wonderful area to explore and seek out the smaller animals. Elephant sightings are good in Nkasa Rupara of herds 20 to 50 strong as well as bachelor herds of males. Waterbuck, blue wildebeest, impala with excellent birding of all varieties. We will camp in the park for the evening overlooking an open savanna area.
Day 4Popa Falls
Wake up to the many sounds and smells of the African bush! Breakfast under the trees will be the start of our day and after we have packed up the camp we will game drive back to the gate. Driving towards Kongola, we are passing through Madumu National Park, the Kwando Core Area, as well as the Caprivi Game Park - Perfect game sighting area. There are lots of local villages as well, a great chance to see how the people live in this area. Arriving in Kongola we will fuel up and continue to Divundu where there is a greater supply for fresh produce. Once all our shopping has been done we will head off to our camp for the evening. Set on the banks of the Kavango River the scenery is stunning. On the other side of the river is the national park, elephant, hippo, warthog and many bird species can be seen from the comfort of your camp chair.
Day 5 to Day 6Khaudum
We depart the Caprivi area early as we are heading for Khaudum where the roads are very thick sand and the going can be very slow and tough! Our speed allows for good game viewing but once we arrive at the campsite the time and effort is visibly worth it! This campsite is fantastic! Good amenities, firewood for sale and scenery that will take your breath away! We will spend two nights here relaxing in the camp, bird watching and doing game drives.
Day 7 to Day 8Sikereti
When heading South this morning we will take our time to traverse the distance. Going is once again tough, conditions in the park are very deep sand which needs low range 2nd gear most of the time. There are many waterholes along the way that we will explore and spend time at. As water is scarce in the area, the waterholes are good places to spot game. Sikereti camp is more rustic but no less beautiful and we will spend two nights here relaxing, dining under the stars and enjoying the peace of wild Africa.
Day 9Khaudum Camp Site
Heading back North we will be exploring all the way, visiting waterholes, taking the roads and tracks less traveled and used by others as we search for good game sightings. During the heat of the day, we will have lunch under a tree somewhere and relax as we wait for the temperature to drop. Arriving at our campsite for the night we will relax, ease some still muscles and enjoy a gin and tonic as we share videos and photographs of the day's sightings.
