Collect your bags and continue on a scheduled flight to Livingstone. A light aircraft flight takes you over Victoria Falls and on to Kasane, where you will be assisted to the light aircraft flight to your choice of lodge nestled in the Okavango Delta. From your birds-eye vantage point, you get your first glimpse of the wetland paradise spread out below. Choose from several luxurious camps for your two-night stay. Day 4 Okavango Delta (BLD) Days are unstructured in the Delta. Depending on the water levels, you might choose to game view by water or by land. Some camps offer game walks, a super way to gain a different insight into the wildlife of the area.

Day 7 Linyanti Reserve (BLD) The 275,000 acre Linyanti Reserve lies northeast of the Okavango Delta and is home to the Savuti Channel. Linyanti is also home to a wide variety of predators and large concentrations of plains game - particularly elephant and migrating zebra. After settling in at your camp, you might enjoy a nature walk along the Linyanti River or perhaps a boat trip to view hippos. Bird-lovers will delight in the search for carmine bee-eaters, redbilled woodhoopoes, emeraldspotted doves, darters and fish eagles. Linyanti is also one of the few spots in Botswana where you might spot the stunning Narina trogon.
