OKAVANGO,
BOTSWANA, 5 nights, 6 days
Depart from Johannesburg or Cape
Town. Arrive in time for lunch
at your first bush lodge, deep in
the heart of the unique waterscape
of Botswana’s Okavango Delta.
Excursions
vary with the seasons and prevailing
water levels; they include game
drives in open vehicles, leisurely
motorboat cruises, tranquil
bird-viewing outings in dugout
canoes, and walks.
Feel
free to choose the guided activity
best suited to your mood. On
the first day, a panoramic excursion
to get to know your surroundings
makes for an excellent introduction.
This being your first full day, you
have two excursions to look forward
to – one very early in the
morning, another towards late
afternoon. The remainder of your
time can be spent resting, bird
watching, browsing the lodge’s
wildlife library and generally
enjoying the stunningly beautiful
landscape.
Spend another day along now
familiar, leisurely lines…
After the morning’s outing, depart
for your flight to a nearby lodge,
chosen specifically for optimal game
viewing. Here, rangers strive to show you all
the plains game you can reasonably
expect to find in the African bush,
including giraffe, buffalo, zebra,
impala and many other species.
The great cats are always elusive,
but this lodge has gained a near
phenomenal reputation for the best
possible chance of seeing lion,
leopard and cheetah. Depending
on the season, you may continue your
game spotting from the comfort of
your private lodging, raised to
ensure an excellent view of the
surrounding plains.
Enjoy the activities and pattern of
the day as outlined above.
After
the morning’s game activity,
depart for your onward flight.

KRUGER,
SOUTH AFRICA, 3 nights, 4 days
Depart from Johannesburg or Cape
Town. Arrive in time for lunch at a
private bush lodge bordering on the
famous Kruger National Park.
Enjoy the late afternoon game drive
on open 4x4, with sundowner drinks
out in the open.
This being your first full day, you
have two excursions to look forward
to – one very early in the
morning, another towards late
afternoon. Your chances of at least
one of the ‘Big Five’ are
excellent. The remainder of
your time can be spent resting, bird
watching, browsing the lodge’s
wildlife library and generally
enjoying the tranquility of a lazy
African afternoon.
Spend this day much as before, this
time seeking the species not yet
spotted.
After the morning’s game drive,
depart for your flight to
Johannesburg or Cape Town.
