Ultimate Botswana: Chobe, Nxai Pan & the Okavango Delta
This 10 day Botswana safari itinerary explores the Moremi Game Reserve, Nxai Pan and Chobe National Park, combining remote camps and diverse wildlife habitats in one immersive journey. It’s ideal for travellers looking for a more exclusive, nature-led safari experience in one of Africa’s ultimate and safest destinations
Each region offers a distinct perspective, from water-based safaris in the Okavango Delta to open plains in Nxai Pan and the riverfront of Chobe, creating a journey shaped by changing landscapes rather than a single setting.
The itinerary below is shown as an example route. Every journey we create is planned from scratch and can be shaped entirely around you — unless you like it exactly as it is.

Enjoy your overnight flight to Botswana!
- Day 2 - Nxai Pan National Park
