Welcome to Botswana! Arrive in Maun and meet your Savanna Wilderness Tours guide. After a briefing on safari protocols and wildlife safety, settle into your accommodation and enjoy an orientation drive through the town. This evening, relax and prepare for the adventures ahead with an early dinner.

Venture into the world-renowned Okavango Delta, one of Africa's most pristine wetland ecosystems. Experience morning and afternoon game drives through the Khwai Concession, where waterways teem with hippos, crocodiles, and diverse birdlife. Your guide will navigate through papyrus channels and open floodplains, offering exceptional opportunities to spot lions, leopards, and elephant herds at watering holes.

Continue exploring the Okavango Delta with full-day immersion into this unique ecosystem. Combine morning game drives with a scenic mokoro (traditional canoe) excursion through narrow channels where you'll experience the delta at water level. Afternoon activities include additional game viewing and night drives to spot nocturnal species such as hyenas, jackals, and tree-dwelling predators.

Depart the delta for Chobe National Park in northern Botswana, home to the largest elephant concentration in Africa. The scenic drive offers opportunities for en-route wildlife spotting. Upon arrival, settle into your accommodation and enjoy an afternoon game drive along the Chobe Riverfront, where massive elephant herds congregate, particularly during the dry season.

Dedicate a full day to exploring Chobe National Park's renowned riverfront ecosystem. Begin with an early morning game drive, followed by a scenic boat cruise along the Chobe River where you'll witness hundreds of elephants, buffalo, and hippos at close range. The afternoon game drive provides additional opportunities to encounter lions, leopards, and the park's diverse antelope species in their natural habitat.

Travel to the legendary Victoria Falls, one of the world's largest and most spectacular waterfalls. Cross into Zimbabwe and settle into your accommodation near the falls. Enjoy a late afternoon visit to the falls viewpoint, where you'll witness the raw power of nature as millions of gallons of water cascade 108 meters into the Zambezi Gorge below. The evening offers leisure time and optional activities.

Experience Victoria Falls from multiple perspectives. Start with a guided walk along the entire falls rim, learning about the geological formations and the region's rich cultural heritage. Optional activities include helicopter flights, white-water rafting, or bungee jumping for adventure seekers. The afternoon remains flexible for personal exploration, shopping, or relaxation by the pool.

Depart Victoria Falls with cherished memories of your Southern African adventure. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast and morning at the falls before transferring to Victoria Falls Airport.
