| This is the highest quality cross country camping safari in Botswana. It was featured in the November 1995 edition of National Geographic's "Traveler" magazine and has been enhanced since then. It offers a combination of cross country drives and light aircraft transfers to enable guests access to the best areas of Northern Botswana. Accommodation varies between small permanent tented camps and pre-erected tented camps, all with private facilities, and are booked exclusively for the group. A unique feature of this safari compared to similar safaris offered by our competitors is that many nights are spent in private concessions and campsites, far from others, in superb game country. Here night drives and off-road driving are permitted. All meals are included except for lunches and dinners in Victoria Falls. Guest numbers are limited to eight, and the group is accompanied by a guide and a hostess throughout.
"The Jacana Safari gets its name from one of the region's most attractive birds. The familiar African Jacana and the elusive Lesser Jacana occur in quiet back-waters and lily-covered lagoons in northern Botswana. Also know as "Lilly Trotters", these aquatic birds have such long toes that they are able to walk across the water on floating vegetation. Female Jacanas are polyandrous (having more than one mate), an unusual phenomenon among birds. After laying her beautifully camouflaged eggs, she leaves the male to incubate, feed and rear the nestlings while she goes off in search of another breeding partner. Baby jacanas are carried under their father's wing when danger threatens." |

| Start: Maun
Scheduled flights: Maun Airport | Day 1- 3 Okavango
After arrival in Maun, you will be met by your guide or our representative and transferred by light aircraft to the heart of the Okavango Delta where we stay at Kaparota Camp. The game viewing in open 4x4's is good, with Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Cheetah, Wild Dog and Elephant regularly sighted. Birdlife is varied and abundant. | Days 4 - 5 Okavango
Today the group is flown further into the Okavango Delta and transferred to our secluded Jacana Camp for the next two nights. The Delta is an ever changing tapestry of forested islands and crystal clear channels which we explore by mokoro and on foot, giving guests the opportunity to experience Africa at close quarters. The elusive Sitatunga antelope and the rare Pel's Fishing Owl may be seen, as well as smaller quantities of Elephant, Buffalo and other plains game. | Day 6 - 7 Chobe National Park
You leave the Okavango Delta by light aircraft for Linyanti Tented Camp. This is a small, intimate tented camp on the banks of the Linyanti marshes in a private reserve, bordering on the western boundary of Chobe National Park. Game viewing is by vehicle, boat, canoe and foot. | Day 8 - 9 Chobe National Park, Chobe River
This morning we fly north to Chobe, where the camp has been set up in a private site along or near the banks of the Chobe River. On the Chobe floodplains, Elephants can sometimes be viewed in numbers not found elsewhere on the continent, while water birds such as Egrets, Herons, Ducks and Storks occur in profusion. | Day 10 Victoria Falls
It is a leisurely drive from the Chobe River to Victoria Falls. Arrival at Victoria Falls Hotel will be around midday and you will have the rest of your afternoon at leisure to explore the rain forests alongside the Falls or to enjoy an optional sunset cruise up the Zambezi River. Guests can elect to stay in Zambia at The River Club, but at extra cost. | Day 11
You are transferred to the Victoria Falls Airport for your onward flight; or you can elect to spend more time in Victoria Falls for own account. | End:
