Safari Itinerary

A mobile safari expedition in Botswana's famed Okavango Delta, witness iconic wildlife sightings against a backdrop of channels and islands. On this safari, there are no lodges; just wild and stylish mobile safari camps, the best possible way to immerse yourself in all that surrounds the Okavango.

Days are filled with wildlife activities from boating to 4x4 game drives to amazing wildlife walks.

If a mobile expedition in the most stylish of camps, with a dose of incredible game-viewing in a truly wild environment, sounds like it might be your thing, you won’t get much better than this.

Day 1: Okavango Delta

Arriving at Xaraxai Airstrip we are met by our guide and introduced to this amazing wildlife destination.
A slow game drive through the wildlife-rich delta awaits, heading towards our campsite.
As nights falls, around a roaring fire we toast our first night with a glass of wine, ice cold beer or G&T.
Our safari has begun.

Days 2-4: Okavango Delta

Over the next few days and nights, we set out exploring the watery wonderland of the Okavango.
Games drives, wildlife walks, mokoro boating excursions, swimming in the delta and just good old relaxing are all part and parcel of the experience.
Wildlife sightings over the next few days can include lion, leopard, elephant, wild dog, cheetah, impala, zebra and wildebeest to mention but a few.
Birdlife is nothing short of exceptional.

Day 5: Okavango Delta

Breakfast followed by a boating safari on the water channels of the Okavango.
We travel through a maze of channels, stop for a picnic under massive shaded trees and also swim in safe areas.
Tonight we are spoilt on a private island, just us, our mosquito nets, a roaring fire and all of this under billions of stars.

Day 6: Okavango Delta

A morning walking safari around our island highlights the wildlife and birdlife of the Delta.
With a bit of luck, we get the chance to watch and photograph elephants splashing in the shallows waters.
In the late afternoon, it is our last chance to drift through the papyrus and channels before heading back to the mobile camp for our last night.
