| Start: Maun
Scheduled flights: Maun Airport | Day 1-2 Moremi Wildlife Reserve
Your safari guide will be there to welcome you on arrival at Maun Airport. The exact departure time from Maun Airport will be advised closer to the time, as this depends on Air Botswana's flight schedule. Expect to leave Maun and begin your journey mid-day to early afternoon. For those guests who plan on spending a pre-safari night in Maun (highly recommended after a long-haul flight), please arrange a hotel transfer to the airport to meet your guide at the specified time, or make an arrangement for your guide to meet you at the hotel before going to the airport.
Begin the journey to Moremi Game Reserve, stopping for a picnic lunch en-route, and arriving at a pre-erected camp in the Xakanaxa region of the reserve in time for sundowners. Spending your first two nights camping in the Xakanaxa region, you explore the surrounding wilderness on game drives during the day.
Camping in Xakanaxa within the Moremi Game Reserve (Full Board) | Day 3-5 Okavango, Moremi Wildlife Reserve
Following an early morning game drive en-route to the Xakanaxa boat station, you will embark on a water world adventure, exploring the endless network of crystal clear waterways and secret lagoons by motor boat, and the surrounding palm fringed islands on foot. After a full day on the water, return to dry land and head north-east, en route to the Khwai community area.
The Khwai rivers forms a boundary between the reserve and the community area. Spend the following three nights camping at an exclusive campsite in the community area, exploring the Khwai floodplains on game drives both during the day and at night.
Exploring after dark with spotlights offers you an opportunity to experience some of the nocturnal animals that are rarely encountered during the day. We will also have the opportunity to explore the surrounding wilderness on foot and enjoy an up close and personal encounter with Botswana's flora and fauna. It is important to note that night drives and guided walks are not permitted within the national parks and reserves. These activities are conducted outside the boundaries of the Moremi Game Reserve in the Khwai community area.

Guestbook |
"One of the beauties of visiting other places is that they hold so much more interest for you in the future. It's like reading an article about losing a child: before you become a parent, you might read it with interest; after becoming a parent, you read such an article with avidity and empathy. Traveling to places rids me of detachment and makes those places come alive."
David Graham (USA) 4 day Wild Coast Highlights and 10 day Northern Explorer, August 2005.
