DAY 2

Day 2
After breakfast you will be collected from Motsentsela Tree lodge and transferred by vehicle to Leroo-la-Tau (about 1.5 hrs drive) where you will spend the next two nights. Summer time on the Boteti is a bird watchers paradise and the bush is green and verdant. The winter months feature large-scale migration of wildebeest and zebra into the area with the attendant predators such as lion and cheetah. This is one of the few places that offers night drives which can be very exciting.

Day 3
Awaken to an early morning African sunrise and after a light breakfast proceed with your exploration of this area. You will visit some of the artificial water points, used by the wildlife to quench their thirst. Keep an eye out for some of the pan’s more unusual game species such as bat eared fox, cheetah and hartebest, which are sometimes seen. Return to your lodge for lunch and an afternoon rest before heading out again for your late afternoon drive. At sunset keep a special eye out for the brown hyena, which inhabits this area but is seldom seen due to its shy and nocturnal nature.

DAY 9

Day 9
Again we depart early and start to explore some of the numerous waterholes dotted around the Savute marsh. Your guide will also take you on a tour of the seven rocky outcrops around the marsh and show you the Bushman paintings, which point to the ancient livelihoods of those who once used to live in the area. Back on the marsh, chances are good to see the Savuti lions, supreme predators of the area. Spectacular zebra migrations, which periodically take place on the marsh, are a sight to behold (November - March).
After a busy day’s game viewing, we return to our camp for dinner and to reflect on the awesome splendour that is Savuti.

Location: Savute (Chobe National Park)

DAY 10

Day 10
The charter flight from Savute Safari Lodge to Kasane takes another 45 minutes. At Kasane airport you will be met by a guide from Chobe Game Lodge and transferred (20 minutes) to the lodge in the park. Chobe Game Lodge is a little bigger than the others you have stayed at but you will be spellbound by the sights on the Chobe River. In the late afternoon opt for a game drive or after the dry Savuti area you might be tempted for a sunset cruise on the Chobe River.

You will be collect by mini-bus from Chobe Game Lodge and transferred by road to Victoria Falls. It is a 1.5 hour drive and you will be assisted through customs and immigration.

At Victoria Falls you will be dropped at Mariolina's Guest House. This is very comfortable, en suite bathrooms etc and run by a charming Italian lady called "Mariolina". Activities at Victoria Falls are not included in the cost as there are so many options. You can choose from white water rafting, river boarding (surfing the rapids), kayaking, bungee jumping and many more activities. Or simply visit the falls and wander around the park opposite the water falls. It is easy to plan your program once you are at Mariolina’s.

Overnight: Mariolina's Guest House
Location: Victoria Falls

DAY 13

Day 13
This day is spent at leisure with the opportunity to do river rafting or take pleasure in other leisure activities. There is far more to do at Victoria Falls than to only marvel at the falls themselves. Upstream, the Zambezi plays host to the famous 'sundowner' cruises, excursions on the river to watch the local wildlife while gently sipping a glass of champagne and partaking of a light snack.

Overnight: Marolina's Guest House
Location: Victoria Falls

DAY 14

Day 14
There is a spectacular excursion to be made on foot. The rainforest on the lip of the chasm opposite the falls is a unique swathe of dense tropical vegetation, which thrives on the spray thrown up throughout the year. A well-kept path takes visitors on a walk through the forest, with occasional diversions to viewing points of the falls. The ultimate view of this natural wonder can only be seen from the air. The 'Flight of Angels' provides a fabulous vista of the upstream river and its many islands, the spray from the falls as it is kicked one thousand feet into the sky, and the tortuous zig-zag of the gorge downstream.
To absorb all these experiences can take many days.
