Motsentsela
Tree Lodge and Camp Moremi, Okavango Delta, Botswana
3 nights Fly-In Package,
Day 1:
You will be met at Maun airport and transferred to Motsentsela
Tree Lodge. The lodge accommodates only 16 guests and is situated
on a small game farm on the outskirts of Maun,
an ideal place to rest and get acclimatised after your long international
flight.
The lodge is the “nicest place to stay in Maun” superbly furnished
and comfortable with a reputation of serving the best food in town. Guests
can relax and catch up on rest, or take one of the three marked walking
trails in search of the numerous bird and animal species present on the
farm.
Day 2:
After a leisurely breakfast you will be collected from Motsentsela Lodge
and taken on a “cultural village tour” The tour lasts approximately
3 hrs and gives the traveler a chance to experience how the local people
of Maun live.
You will be dropped off at the local coffee shop next to the airport for
lunch before boarding your charter flight to Camp
Moremi. Camp Moremi is situated
in the eastern extremity of the Okavango
Delta, within the Moremi
Game Reserve.
Shaded by giant ebony trees on the Xakanaxa Lagoon, the lodge itself and
the 11”Meru” style tents on teak decks is absolutely stunning
and gives the camp the status of being one of Botswana’s finest
safari lodges.
Accommodation:
Luxury tents with en suite bathrooms; shower, bath and flush toilet.

Day 3:
Starting early, you will continue your safari activities where you left
off the day before. The reserve supports the most diverse habitat and
animal populations in Botswana; with possible sightings of wild
dog, cheetah, lion and leopard being highlights for the lucky few.
Time at Camp Moremi is spent in open game drive vehicles, looking out
for the many animal and bird species that make the reserve famous.
Day 4: We are
up at first light. After a quick cup of coffee and cereal it’s onto
our game drive vehicle and we are off. Early mornings give us a chance
to track the lion that kept us awake the previous night. Have they killed
or are they still hungry and searching for today’s meal? Mornings
are spectacular, heralding a new day with new sightings and opportunities.
We return to the lodge at mid morning, ravenous and anxious to sit in
the boma discussing our sightings while we feast on a huge breakfast and
lunch combined. No matter what we have seen in the morning, our sumptuous
breakfast is another activity in itself. Yet another short game drive
enroute to the airstrip. This will be your last opportunity to spot any
African wildlife you may have missed. A private charter will fly you to
Maun from where you continue
with your arrangements or your flight to Johannesburg.
Included: Accommodation
in luxury tents,
charter flight from Maun to Camp Moremi and return, cultural village tour,
scheduled safari activities; game drives in 4 x 4 open sided vehicles
