Following the morning activity (time permitting) and breakfast, guests will be transferred by road to Kasane Airport, for their onwards light aircraft transfer to Selinda Camp where they will stay for two nights. Selinda camp is an intimate camp offering understated luxury on the banks of the eastern Selinda Spillway – a waterway that links Botswana’s Okavango Delta to the Linyanti and Kwando marshes, rivers and floodplains. The shaded camp is raised a metre or so off the ground and offers extraordinary views over the floodplains, waterways and wide-open savannas which are only broken by attractive palm islands. It is these views that are one of Selinda’s most compelling features. Activities in the Selinda Reserve include both day and night game drives in open 4×4 vehicles and game viewing by boat on the Zibalianja Lagoon (subject to water levels). Game viewing is of a high standard, particularly in the drier months and typically seen in the Selinda area are giraffe, baboon, black-backed jackal, elephants, wildebeest, cheetah, crocodile, lion, wild dog, hippo, honey badger, reedbuck, roan, sable and a host of birds. For the more energetic, short guided walking trails are available on request within the vicinity of the camp as well as short mokoro sessions and fishing.

After an early morning activity (time permitting) and breakfast, guests will be transferred from Selinda Camp to Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge by light aircraft, where they will stay for two nights. Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge is positioned between permanent water and grass-swept plains on a private concession in the Okavango Delta, adjacent to the Moremi Game Reserve. The lodge is surrounded by an abundant array of wildlife. The eight guest cottages with en-suite bathrooms will be completely re-vamped, each with a private plunge pool. Activities include game drives in open 4 x 4 safari vehicles, spot-lit night game drives in the private concession with experienced guides and a Motswana tracker. Sandibe offers abundant bird watching opportunities with over 340 species recorded.

After an early morning activity (time permitting) and breakfast, guests will be transferred from Sandibe to Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp by light aircraft where they will stay for two nights. Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp overlooks one of the permanent lagoons of the Okavango Delta in 25 000 hectares of pristine wilderness. The Camp boasts breathtaking views of the channel, providing guests with a water and wilderness experience that combines the best of what the Okavango has to offer. Xaranna offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the delta wilderness, with a selection of game drives, mokoro trips and bush walks available. Huge herds of buffalo are frequently encountered. Guests are able to experience this irresistible combination of water and wildlife on twice-daily game drives in open 4×4 safari vehicles, mokoro and powerboat excursions (water- level dependant). Bush walks provide an opportunity to explore the surrounding areas and encounter animals on foot (subject to availability), while night drives give a fascinating glimpse into the busy nocturnal activities of the Delta. Six white rhino were released on the concession in early May 2013 in an effort to aid the conservation of the species and boost the rhino population in the delta.
