The best way to enjoy a safari is to visit more than one place in your destination, to experience the multi-faceted beauty and abundant wildlife of Africa.

Your journey will take you to the stark beauty of the Makgadikgadi Pans, full of plains game (of which zebra and wildebeest are most predominant), as well as your big predators that set the stage for an epic battle of survival in the untame wilderness. If you visit between January and March, you'll get to see the Zebra Migration, considered the longeest migration on the planet.

Next, you'll discover the Okavango Delta (the planet's largest and most beautiful), you'll meet the Big Five, as well the rare sitatunga, lechwe antelope, lions, cheetahs, wild dogs as well as a variety of 550 birds species. Moremi Game Reserve will be your first port of call, followed by a short journey to the private Xugana Lagoon.

Africa's most amazing, sensitive and complex environment supporting a spectacle of wilderness and wildlife experiences awaits...
