| Start: Maun
Scheduled flights: Maun Airport | Day 1 - 3 Okavango, Moremi Wildlife Reserve
You will be met on your arrival at Maun Airport and assisted with checking in and boarding your onward flight to Xakanaxa in a light aircraft. Your exact departure time from Maun Airport will be advised closer to the time (mid-day to early afternoon), as this depends on Air Botswana's flight schedule. 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.
The flight from Maun to Xakanaxa is approximately 25 minutes. Your guide will meet you on arrival at Xakanaxa airstrip in Moremi Game Reserve and transfer you to your pre-erected camp where the rest of the safari team will be awaiting your arrival. Spending the following three nights camping in the Xakanaxa region, you explore the surrounding wilderness and waterways on game drive and by motor boat.
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 for your last night in Xakanaxa. | Day 4 Makgadikgadi Pans
Following breakfast, set off on the long road ahead to the vast salt pans of the Makgadikgadi, a stark contrast to the fertile Moremi Game Reserve. This is by far the longest transit day, and guests should be prepared to spend the full day on the road, arriving in camp late that afternoon.
The enchanting experience of the Makgadikgadi starts as the sun sets. The sun baked earth relaxes as the soft warm light washes over the barren landscape. You will spend the evening gazing up at the seemingly endless and mystical canopy of stars.
"Fly-camping" means to camp with only the bear essentials. In this case, simply your bed and bedroll set out on the pans, with one toilet and shower shared by all. This is the best way to fully appreciate the magic of the Makgadikgadi. However, tents will be available on request. | Day 5 & 6 Nxai Pan
Leaving the pans at first light, make your way towards to rolling grasslands of Nxai Pan, arriving in time for lunch. Spending our last two nights camping in the Nxai Pan National Park, explore the surrounding grass plains on game drives. | Day 7 Maun
Following an early morning game drive, you return to Maun. On arrival in Maun at approximately 13:00, your guide will drop you off at Maun airport for your onward flight, or for pick-up by your hotel, should you be spending a night in Maun. | End: Maun
