6 Night Blissful Botswana
In our 6-night Blissful Botswana package you'll experience the iconic water wonderland of the Okavango Delta, the revered Chobe National Park, and the unexplored Kasane Forest Reserve on the Zimbabwe border. Immerse yourself in the waterways of the Delta on a mokoro adventure, experience the acclaimed Savuti region of Chobe, and get to know the narrow tract of the Kasane Forest.
Mboma Island Expeditions is a mobile camp situated in a pristine paradise where the Okavango Delta's crystalline waters meet the predator-filled savannah of the Moremi Game Reserve. Beautifully appointed spacious Meru-style tents dot the landscape beneath a canopy of trees, offering a magical experience in the heart of the Delta. You'll spend two nights at Mboma, discovering its treasures.
During your two nights at Camp Savuti in the well-documented Savute region, you'll explore the Chobe National Park on game drives with the team. You'll stay in beautifully constructed tented rooms on raised wooden platforms, and evenings spent around the fire under the Botswana night sky.
The final two nights you'll experience a unique destination in the Kasane Forest Reserve, a woody forest area bordering the Zambezi National Park in Zimbabwe. The lodge overlooks a huge waterhole and offers luxury Meru chalets in addition to en-suite standard rooms. Wildlife roams across from the Zambezi, which means high concentrations of big cats, buffalo, and African wild dogs.
This Botswana safari package is for the explorers, the ones who want to experience well-known safari routes but also traverse a relatively unknown destination.
