Day 4 Okavango Delta Wilderness Experience Main Destination: Okavango Delta

A fresh morning in the wilderness and be met with coffee/tea and rusks before heading out for a 3-hour early morning nature walk and becoming up close and intimate with nature.

Once you have had a good rest, you will head out for a 3-hour mokoro trip arriving back in camp just before sunset.

experience. Upon arrival, you will be treated to a hot shower in the privacy of your en-suite tent and proceed to enjoy your campfire dinner.

Day 5 Hello Central Kalahari Game Reserve Main Destination: Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Rise and shine to enjoy a light breakfast before you head out to Central Kalahari Game Reserve to set camp in the Deception Valley. During and shortly after good summer rains (September to January), the flat grasslands of the reserve’s northern reaches teem with wildlife, which gather at the best grazing areas. These include springboks and gemsboks, as well as wildebeest, hartebeest, elands, and giraffes.

At other times of the year, when the animals are more sparsely distributed, the experience of traveling through truly untouched wilderness, of seemingly unending dimensions, is amazing. You will arrive at camp to have lunch and enjoy an afternoon siesta. You will head out for an evening game drive and sunset within the Deception Valley. Upon return to the camp, you will be treated to a hot camp shower before proceeding to dinner around a campfire. You will then retreat to your tent for a good night in the wilderness.
