to & from

You can easily tack on a couple of days in Cape town or other parts of South Africa before of after visiting Botswana!

  • We were traveling from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe so we drove 1.5 hours by private van to Kasane where we spent a two days at Chobe Game Lodge on Safari
  • We then drove back to Kasane and flew with Mack Air (in 14 passenger prop plane!) to the Okavongo Delta region to an island called Chief's Camp where we also went on Safari

Where to Stay

  • Chobe Game Lodge - the only game lodge in the Chobe National Park and on the Chobe River. It is a good sized comfortable facility in a glorious riverside setting.
  • Sanctuary Chief's Camp - Situated on Chief’s Island in the Moremi Game Reserve, it is considered to have some of the finest game viewing in Africa. Located on Chief's Island, one of the many islands created by the seasonal floodwaters of the Okavango Delta in the Mombo Concession of the Moremi Game Reserve, Sanctuary Chief's Camp named after Chief Moremi, the hereditary king of the area who used the lands as his royal hunting grounds.
