We return to the lodge for a relaxing afternoon and dinner will be in the town of Livingstone at a restaurant serving delicious local to international dishes.


Day 5 - White Rhino/Game Drive and Royal Livingstone Train

Following breakfast, enjoy a relaxing informative wildlife experience in an open game drive vehicle accompanied by an experienced knowledgeable Guide. A walk into the Bush to view the protected White Rhino is a unique conclusion to your safari. This is a rare and incredible experience where we get to walk through the bush in search of the endangered white rhino, learning about their behavior, the significance of their conservation, and the flora and fauna of the area. 


After the walk, we will enjoy a light lunch at the lodge. You may choose to relax and take in the natural surroundings around the lodge or explore Livingstone town for local arts and crafts, markets.

Day 6 and 7: Kasane, Botswana – Safari 

Travel to Kasane and settle into our lodge before embarking on an afternoon safari in Chobe National Park. The open-top safari vehicle allows for unobstructed views of the wildlife. Chobe is renowned for its massive elephant population, and as you venture into the park, you’ll be in prime territory for spotting large herds of elephants wandering through the savannah. The park is also home to lions, leopards, buffalos, and a variety of antelope species like kudu and impala.


Early the next morning we will set out on a sunrise game drive. After the thrilling game drive, we will have a scrumptious meal and relaxing time before embarking on a boat cruise which offers a completely different but equally stunning perspective of Chobe.


Both nights we will enjoy a delicious dinner at the lodge, to the sounds of nature surrounded by the soft glow of candlelight or lanterns adding warmth to the evening.


Day 8: Makgadikgadi Pans

Approaching our next destination we will be driving through a landscape dotted with the iconic baobab trees, their massive, ancient trunks standing tall against the clear skies. As you approach the lodge, you’re surrounded by the earthy scents of the bush, the dust of the road clinging to the air.


Late afternoon enjoy a bushwalk that will allow us to get up close to the flora. And when the day begins to wind down, a sundowner would be an unforgettable moment. Dinner served at the lodge.


Day 9: Meerkats and Breakfast Picnic

Prior to our departure we will enjoy a leisurely picnic breakfast in the wild, the morning light casting a soft glow over the baobabs and plains.

And then, a visit to the meerkats! These little creatures are such a treat to observe—curious, playful, and always on high alert. It would be fascinating to watch their social structure, with sentries keeping lookout while the others forage and interact.


Day 10: Maun

After the meerkat encounter, the journey to Maun will be an exciting shift in landscape. Staying in a lodge on the outskirts of Maun will give you a peaceful retreat, but still keep you close enough to the heart of the delta’s magic.


Day 11:  Mokoro Ride

The mokoro ride the following morning, guiding silently through the waters of the delta, you’ll be surrounded by lush vegetation, reeds swaying gently in the breeze. The mokoro itself, a traditional canoe, adds an authentic touch to the experience, and the tranquility of the setting makes it feel almost otherworldly. After the adventure, some relaxation back at the lodge will be well-earned. 


Day 12: Full Day Moremi Game Safari

Early morning we head nout on a full-day trip to the Moremi Game Reserve. The Moremi is famous for its rich biodiversity—lions, elephants, leopards, and a wide variety of birdlife. The game drive will likely offer up some close encounters with these majestic animals, all while surrounded by the stunning scenery of wetlands, savannas, and woodlands.


Day 13:  Departure – Home or Onward Travel

As you board your flight home, carry with you not only the memories of this incredible journey but also a piece of Africa—its spirit, its people, and its untamed beauty—that will continue to inspire you long after you've left its shores.
