9 days from £6,180 per person

• Chobe and Savute
• Moremi
• The Okavango Delta
• Central Kalahari

This epic safari will transport you from the mighty Chobe River to the magical waterways of the Okavango and end at the large open moonscapes of the Kalahari Desert. Following in the footsteps of the great Livingstone himself, this safari manages to embrace Botswana’s hot spots in all their glory.    

Begin your safari in style at the lovely Ngoma Lodge which is discreetly situated in its own private reserve, adjoining the Chobe National Park. Chobe National Park in Northern Botswana is probably best known for its huge population of elephant although there is a wide diversity of bird life and mammals in the area. Spend 2 days here exploring this majestic game-rich reserve either on the river or in a specially adapted game viewing vehicle.

A short hop on a light aircraft whisks you to Khwai, adjacent to the world-renowned Moremi Game Reserve – big and bold with its impressive populations of elephant, lion, wild dog, zebra, giraffe and impala. This world heritage site makes for excellent game viewing from specially adapted land-cruisers. Staying at the independently owned and superb Machaba Camp, your stay here offers exhilarating game viewing and a chance to explore this iconic area in style. 

Another light aircraft journey takes you deep into the Okavango Delta and the tranquil and lovely Shinde, which is dotted with palms, wallowing hippos and brightly coloured malachite kingfishers.   Located to the North of Moremi, Shinde’s deep water channels, palm islands and wide-open water plains make this an ideal spot to enjoy a true Okavango experience. Wildlife abounds here with hippos, crocodiles, great birdlife, baboons, lion and jackal to name but a few.  What makes this area so special is its sense of peaceful isolation and, of course, the gorgeous Shinde Camp where more 5-star glamping and superb bush cuisine awaits. 

Travel south-east of the Okavango by air to the great Kalahari plains where jaw dropping horizons and grasslands are home to majestic oryx, zebra in their hundreds and predators both great and small, including cheetah and the black-maned Kalahari Lions. Rooftop sleep-out platforms, bushman walks and game drives into the huge reserve are just some of the many ways to explore the area and to savour the last few days of your Grand Safari.  

I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored.
