Ultimate Botswana: Chobe, Nxai Pan & the Okavango Delta

On arrival a BC representative will be waiting to provide a VIP welcome at the airport directly off the plane as you are rushed through immigration and taken to the incredible Nxai Pan Reserve.

Your first safari drive will be this evening in a luxury 4x4.

Nxai Pan is an incredible place, off the main tourist drag (if there is such a thing in this beautiful remote country)

The reserve is home to some of the largest salt pans in the world, prides of lions and picturesque baobab trees.

Enjoy more safari drives today and an excursion to the pan itself.

The salt pans dominate the area. This includes the main Nxai Pan, a fossil lakebed that was once part of a superlake stretching across much of the area.

Today you'll board your scenic light aircraft flight across the bush deep into the Okavango delta, and your next authentic, luxurious, safari lodge.

This beautiful oasis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Delta is also known as one of the seven natural wonders of Africa.

Enjoy a day of safari activities, which may include sightings of rare and endangered species.

Out on guided game drives and safari tours, you’ll see healthy populations of elephants, lions, black and white rhino, cheetah, leopard, African wild dogs and any number of stunning bird species. This is an Eden on earth.

Your next light aircraft flight is north across the delta (keep that camera in your hand luggage) en route to Kasane airstrip and the stunning Chobe National Park.

Head out on a morning game drive with your expert local guide in a 4x4 before you cruise along the breathtakingly beautiful Chobe River to spot wildlife along its banks.

Enjoy a special final dinner in Botswana tonight, under the starry African sky.

Alas it's time to head home. You'll be taken to the airport today for your onward flight.
