A private wildlife sanctuary, the Selinda Reserve incorporates the famous Selinda Spillway, which links the Okavango Delta to the Linyanti and Kwando wetlands and rivers. Abundant wildlife is attracted to the vast floodplains and grasslands along the river, with vast herds of elephant and buffalo. Predator viewing is also exceptional, including lion, leopard, wild dog and cheetah.

Spend two nights at Zarafa Camp in a luxurious canvas tent with a private deck and plunge pool. 

Day 7 - 8: Chobe National Park

Fly to Kasane Airport, from where you will be driven to your lodge.

The Chobe National Park is one of the top wilderness reserves in the world. Herds of buffalo and elephant drink at the river's edge, while the puku and Chobe bushbuck cannot be encountered elsewhere in Botswana.

Linger for two nights in a cottage overlooking the river at Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero. Adventures include game drives, motorised boat safaris, sundowner river cruises and fishing excursions (pre-booking advised).

Day 9 - 10: Victoria Falls

You will be driven to Kasane, where a vehicle will be waiting to take you across the border, clearing customs and immigration en route.

One of the world's greatest natural spectacles, Victoria Falls is a World Heritage Site. Long before David Livingstone 'discovered' the Falls in 1855, the Batonga people had named them Mosi-oa-Tunya, 'the smoke that thunders'. Today, the town of Victoria Falls claims the title of Adrenalin Capital of Africa.

Spend two nights in a spacious tented suite at The Elephant Camp. Your stay includes three meals daily, soft drinks, house wines, local brand spirits and beers, tea and coffee, emergency medical evacuation insurance and laundry. A host of thrilling adventures is available at nearby Victoria Falls at an additional cost.
