On arrival at Johannesburg International airport, you will look for the Island Safari greeting board as you enter the public area after collecting your baggage and clearing customs. Our Island-Safari.com representative will meet you and assist you in checking in for your Air Botswana flight to Maun.
Upon arrival at Maun airport you will be met by a representative of Delta Air in the Arrivals Hall. He will assist you with your luggage, and then show you to the light aircraft for your charter flight to Xakanaxa. This flight will take around 20 minutes, and provides you with amazing views of the Okavango Delta itself. The focus is on game viewing in this beautiful area of open grassland and ancient Mopani forest, waterways and islands. Activities are game drives and boating.
The Xakanaxa region of the Moremi Game Reserve consistently rewards visitors with fantastic wildlife sightings. Permanent water and varied vegetation zones combine to support the wide range of species that inhabit this area. Boating on the Xakanaxa lagoon and to the heronries of the Xobega and Gudikwa lagoons has become an iconic activity for visitors to this area.

Another early morning game drive, brunch and then you will be transferred by light aircraft (55 minutues) to Kasane. From Kasane it will be a 40 minute drive into the Chobe National park to the Chobe River Front Mobile camp.
The Chobe National Park lies on Botswana's far northern border, where the Kwando, Linyanti and Chobe river system form a series of lakes, islands and floodplains. This area is famous for its large buffalo and elephant herds, as well as a variety of predators and bird life.
The Chobe Riverfront is home to an amazing variety of wildlife. What is remarkable is the sheer numbers of animals that drink from the Chobe river during the dry months, creating the largest concentration of elephants and buffalo on the planet. The other highlight is a boat cruise on the Chobe River and watching, from the comfort of the boat, a host of wildlife come down to drink a mere few meters away
THE FOCUS: is on big game, and the congregations of large herds,especially of buffalo and elephant, in the dry months.
ACTIVITIES: Game drives in the Chobe National Park and boat cruises on the Chobe River Day 5
