Day 1: Arrival in Johannesburg (D)

We’ll kick things off with our arrival in Johannesburg, where we’ll be met at the airport by our guide after clearing customs. You'll be transferred to our comfortable overnight stay at the City Lodge O.R. Tambo. This hotel is conveniently located right at the airport, giving us a smooth and easy start before we head into the wilds of Botswana. We'll take this opportunity to meet our group at a dinner/orientation, get a good night’s rest, and prepare for the adventure ahead.

Days 2–4: Chobe River – Pangolin Chobe Hotel (B,L,D)

This morning, we’ll board a flight to Kasane, Botswana, where our safari officially begins. We’ll settle into the Pangolin Chobe Hotel, perched on a plateau with sweeping views of the Chobe River floodplain. Over the next three days, we’ll split our time between morning and afternoon outings—either by custom eight-seater photo boat or game drive vehicle. Chobe is known for some of Africa’s highest concentrations of elephants, along with plentiful hippos, buffalo, crocs, and an abundance of birdlife. With the support of expert guides and specially designed gear setups, we’ll have the perfect setup to capture incredible wildlife moments right from the start.

Days 5–7: Okavango Delta – Rra Dinare Camp (B,L,D)

After a scenic charter flight, we’ll touch down in the legendary Okavango Delta—one of Africa’s most iconic ecosystems. Our home for the next three nights is Rra Dinare Camp, nestled in a private concession teeming with wildlife. Each day, we’ll head out on morning and afternoon game drives in specially outfitted 4-person vehicles, offering exceptional opportunities to photograph predators like lions and leopards, as well as herds of plains game, giraffes, and elephants in the shimmering light of the delta. The rhythm of the delta is slow and wild, and we’ll get to experience its beauty up close.

Days 8–10: Central Kalahari – Dinaka Camp (B,L,D)

We’ll fly south into a starkly different landscape—the Central Kalahari. Our base, Dinaka Camp, sits on the edge of a private reserve bordering the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Over the next few days, we’ll explore this arid wonderland on game drives in two 4-person vehicles, visit a remarkable underground hide that offers unique eye-level wildlife photography, and even walk with San Bushmen to learn about traditional survival skills. The night skies here are absolutely dazzling, and we’ll make the most of the clear desert evenings with some stargazing and the possibility of night drives to seek out elusive nocturnal species.

Day 11: Departure from Maun (B)

This morning, we’ll say farewell to the Kalahari as we board our final charter flight to Maun. From here, we’ll connect to our international flights or onward travel, wrapping up an unforgettable journey through the best of Botswana’s diverse and wild landscapes
