Itinerary

Days 1 to 4: Okavango Private Concession

Nxabega Safari Lodge

You will be met at Maun Airport and your charter flight to Nxabega will take around 40mins which takes you over the southern floodplains of the Okavango with those views you always see in documentaries. Once you arrive in camp they will show you around and once you're settled in you can take part in an afternoon activity. The area is famous for its shallow floodplains and you have a great chance to see Giraffe and other wildlife moving through these vast areas.
Predators here include Lions, Leopard, African Wild Dog and Spotted Hyena with other cats being in the area but difficult to see, as they always are. Activities include mokoro, walking safaris and day and night game drives.

Days 4 to 7: Okavango Private Concession

Sandibe Safari lodge

After a morning activity you will fly to Sandibe taking around 20 mins with stunning views of the Okavango and Chief's Island. The Sandibe Concession (or locally known as NG32) is truly superb with some of the best wildlife in Africa with both land and water activities available. This area is known for its Predator population and your ability to get close to them, in particular African Wild Dog but Cheetah too are often seen with Lion and Leopard too. The walking safaris in this area are particularly good with lots of open areas.

Days 7 to 10: Okavango Private Concession

Xarrana Lodge

After a morning activity you will fly to Xarrana taking around 20 mins with stunning views of Chief's Island.
