Day 1 : Fly to Okavango Delta / 2 nights Nxabega Safari Camp or similar / Fully Inclusive

On arrival in Maun, you are met and transferred by light aircraft to an Okavango Delta, Africa's largest and most beautiful oasis - an isolated, lush green paradise with some of the richest wildlife in the world.
The maze of waterways, lagoons, vast grassy plains and palm-fringed and wooded islands is home to crocodile, hippo, elephant, lion, leopard, hyena, giraffe, wild dog, rare antelope and around 400 bird species.

At your permanent water camp, game viewing is predominantly by motorboat, as well as game walks with an experienced and armed guide on the delta?s islands. The evocative mokoro trips are in shallower waters, water levels permitting.

Stay for 2 nights at Nxabega Safari Camp or similar.

Day 2: Nxabega

Nxabega Safari Lodge has been beautifully hand crafted and designed so that its open plan dining room, lounge, wildlife library, and expansive sundecks all offer unobstructed views over the endless floodplains of the Delta. Situated under dense stands of African Ebony and Strangler Fig Trees Nxabega accommodates 18 guests in East African style safari tents on raised platforms with private sundecks.

Other facilities include a raised game-viewing platform and plunge pool. Guests have a choice of daily activities, meandering along the floodplains and channels by mokoro or tracking big game on foot or by open 4x4-safari vehicle.

Day 3: Sandibe Safari Lodge or similar / 2 nights Fully Inclusive

Today you are transferred by air to a more land-based camp. The Moremi Wildlife Reserve is protected tribal land, which forms the eastern boundary of the Okavango Delta.

The largest island in the delta, Chief's Island, is located within the Moremi and is a wildlife haven. The Moremi is known for its predators, both of the mammal and feathered variety.

Day 4: Sandibe

Sandibe, just south of Chief's Island, is in one of the most beautiful regions of the Delta, close to Moremi, with its game-rich grassy plains. Sandibe is situated in ancient riverine forest shade, overlooking the papyrus-lined Santandibe River. The eight African-inspired and secluded cottages are light and airy, with their own private elevated viewing deck, fans, en-suite dressing room and bathroom and open air shower.

Activities include daily game drives, bush walks, river cruises, mokoro excursions, fishing, bird watching and star gazing (seasonal water area). For relaxation, you can choose between a hammock swaying from the trees or a shaded plunge pool.

Day 5: Transfer to Victoria Falls / 2 nights Royal Livingstone

Light safari flight to Kasane and then road transfer to Royal Livingstone Hotel. The Victoria Falls are a sight not to be missed - a dramatic scenic contrast from the reserves. For many it would be inconceivable to visit Africa without experiencing the vast curtain of surging water that plunges into the Zambezi Gorge below.

The Royal Livingstone is an elegant 5 star hotel in an unrivalled setting overlooking the Falls. The 173 rooms, with their hand-carved mahogany furniture, have an African feel with eastern overtones. All have a balcony or patio. The hotel has a superb restaurant, large pool, pool bar and small casino. A large wooden deck affords sweeping views, ideal for cocktails at sunset.

Day 6: Victoria Falls

The day is at leisure for a variety of optional excursions. A host of activities are centred on the Falls, the magnificent Zambezi River and the surrounding Zambezi National Park. The Zambezi River has two characters - the wide gentle river above the Falls is the perfect place for languorous sunset boat cruises or gentle canoeing, whilst below the Falls, the more adventurous can enjoy serious white-water rafting or jet-boating.

The most spectacular views of the Falls are from the Zambian side of the gorge but to gain an overall impression of the Falls, the helicopter 'Flight of Angels' is essential. A microlight ride and bungee jumping are available for the truly daring.

Day 7: Johannesburg / 1 night Intercontinental Hotel

After a morning at leisure you are transferred to Livingstone Airport for your flight to Johannesburg. (Note: Flight is not included in tour price). You stay overnight at the five star Intercontinental Airport hotel which is conveniently positioned a few metres walk from Domestic Arrivals. Each of the 138 rooms is decorated in luxurious African style with beige and brown earthy tones and of course delightful views of the airport car park! Each room is soundproofed with full black out curtains.

However, it is perhaps for golf that it is best known - two 18 hole champion courses are laid out in tropical splendour close to the hotel. The clubhouse includes a pro shop, golf clinic, restaurant and bar.

Day 11: Exploring

The country is also justly famed for its hospitality and friendliness. Nothing is too much trouble in this relaxed cultural melting pot!
