Kick your journey off with a visit to the World Heritage Site of Victoria Falls in Zambia. From there you'll visit Chobe National Park in Botswana, exploring by land in a 4x4 safari vehicle and along the Chobe River on a boat cruise that gets you close enough to the big game for good photographs even without a zoom lens. Your final stop is Botswana's Okavango Delta, which in 2013 was declared one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. The area is rich in wildlife in the dry season (May to August), including the Big Five as well as giraffe, sitatunga and lechwe antelope.

Island safari

After breakfast, you'll be taken to Kasane Airport for your scheduled flight into the Okavango Delta. The Delta is an extraordinary experience and you'll be spending your time in the heart of the Delta. Chief’s Camp is on Chief's Island in the Mombo Concession of the Moremi Game Reserve. Known as the 'predator capital of Africa', this area is ideal for game viewing. The seasonal water of the delta ensures that the area in front of the camp is always changing – from a dry floodplain teaming with wildlife to a lush and tranquil lagoon.
