Day 1: Livingstone to Chobe National Park, Botswana.
A morning departure takes you from Livingstone, Zambia and into Botswana. We’ll cross the Zambezi River by ferry and make our way to Toro Camp on the Chobe River. Once we’ve reached the Lodge we’ll set up camp and enjoy the rest of the afternoon on a sunset cruise on the Chobe River. Here we can watch elephants, hippos, crocodiles and a variety of birds and more without having to reach for our binoculars – You’ll be close enough for close-up photographs. [LD]

Day 2: Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana.
We need to get up early, as today is our longest drive of the safari. We’ll head south to Planet Baobab and stop at the Magkadigkadi Pans to have a closer look. If the conditions allow we’ll take a drive onto the Pans. After appreciating the wide-open, uninhabited spaces under the endless canopy of blue sky, we step off for our final stop of the day, Planet Baobab. The rest of the afternoon we spend with a hike to the elephant hole and relaxing at Planet Baobab’s facilities.  [BLD]

We will be transferred to our Camp in the Delta where we’ll spend the next two nights listening to the sounds of the wilderness. Unlike other Delta’s in the world, it flows into the Kalahari Desert without reaching the coast, which makes it unique. We’ll float in Mokoros through the thick vegetation of the Delta discovering a variety of birds and wildlife and will stop at a secluded island to take a 1½ hour guided walk hoping to spot elephants, waterbuck or other animals living in this water filled paradise.
