Even though vast distances are covered through the Okavango Delta, much time is spent drifting while game watching, birding, photography or just relaxing onboard.
From time to time we do stop off on islands along the way to stretch our legs and explore them on foot. Lunch will be served on one of the many islands along the way.
After lunch we continue on our journey to our next camp arriving at sunset. Hot showers will be ready waiting for you before pre-dinner drinks around the camp fire.
A three course sit down dinner is served with fine South African wines.
The evening is spent around the camp fire gazing at the stars reminiscing about the day’s experiences in the Delta.
Day 3: After our morning activities, we board our boats to explore the diversity of the Okavango Delta while game viewing, birding or just relax and enjoy the tranquility of the Okavango Delta.
Lunch will be served back at camp before retiring for an early afternoon siesta or just relaxing in camp. Later on we continue on our journey of exploration by boat returning to camp after sunset.
A three course sit down dinner is served with fine South African wines.
Day 4: After our morning activities, we depart on a day trip up the Delta to enjoy the diversity of the upper reaches of the Okavango Delta which offers a very different experience from the previous days.
Lunch will be served on one of the many islands along the way.
Return to camp after a sun downer drink on the river.
A three course sit down dinner is served with fine South African wines.

NB. Please note that the above itinerary is flexible to suit our guest’s needs and is a rough guide of the daily activities on the Delta.
It may be altered on safari depending on what we encounter along the way and game sightings. Most of our safaris include a two or three night stay at some of the camps. This allows plenty of time to explore the surrounding area.
A certain amount of physical agility is required as you will need to board and disembark boats in natural wetland areas, however we will assist you if necessary.
