Water in the Delta, cats at Khwai and predators at Savuti: the classic northern circuit, by air.
This is the classic circuit of northern Botswana, linked by light aircraft. You begin with mokoro and boat safaris in the Okavango Delta, move to Khwai and Moremi for lions, leopards and wild dog, and finish at Savuti, where the lions and hyenas hunt the plains.
Two nights in each, with flights between them, give you the three great habitats of Botswana without a single long road day.

Prices are per person, in US dollars, and depend on the number of travellers sharing the vehicle and guide. They are sample rates for planning and will be confirmed when you enquire, as lodge and permit prices change each year. The flights depend on aircraft availability and will be confirmed when you enquire. Sightings of any single species cannot be guaranteed.
Best time for this trip May to Oct
Pack light, neutral colours for game drives, a warm fleece for early mornings, a sun hat, good sunscreen and insect repellent. Binoculars are provided in the vehicle, but bring your own if you are a keen birder or photographer. Light aircraft have a soft-bag limit of 15 kg per person including hand luggage, so leave the hard suitcases at home.
