Makgadikgadi Pans & Okavango Delta Safari Adventure

Your first stop will be Maun International Airport, after which you'll be transported to the spectacular Leroo La Tau. The lodge rises majestically above the Boteti River which stretches across the western border of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. The lodge offers guided game drives in the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park focusing on the exceptional wildlife sightings along the Boteti River. Depending on the water level, boat activities are also provided. Leroo La Tau translates as ‘lion’s paw’ but, although the surrounding area features abundant Lion, Zebra and Wildebeest, it also boasts Chobe Bushbuck, Leopard, Cheetah, Brown and Spotted Hyena, Impala, Kudu, Jackal, Porcupine, Genet and Caracal, to name but a few.

After spending two nights at the Leroo La Tau, you’ll be transferred to Camp Xakanaxa, located on the banks of the Khwai River. Xakanaxa Lagoon is situated in the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve where you will stay on an all inclusive basis for two nights. The ancient riverine forests, open savannah, serpentine channels and seasonal floodplains that surround the camp make for a varied habitat of exceptional fauna and flora. The camp is one of few offering a year-round land and water game-viewing experience, in open 4×4 safari vehicles or powerboats. The diverse habitat ensures prolific sightings of Elephant, Buffalo, Hyena, Giraffe, Hippo, Wildebeest, Kudu, Lechwe, Lion and Leopard, among many others. Birding is spectacular, especially in the spring and summer months when the migrants are breeding.

Your next stop will be Xugana Lagoon, which is widely accepted as being the most spectacular permanent water site in the entire Okavango Delta. Xugana Island Lodge is in a private concession offering a range of activities giving you the chance to experience a true Okavango Delta safari. Explore the crystal-clear waterways by mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) or motorboat for the chance to enjoy the magnificent variety of bird, plant and reptile species found in the area. Your experienced guide will also take you on a guided nature walk on surrounding islands in the concession, giving you the chance to experience nature up close and personal.

Today is your last day in Botswana. Enjoy breakfast before being collected at the lodge and transferred through to the airstrip for your scheduled flight back to Maun International Airport, where you board your connecting flight back home.
