Overview

Begin on the Chobe riverfront, where elephant herds gather by the hundred in the dry season. You watch them from a silent electric boat, at eye level, as they cross between the islands.

Then fly south into the Okavango for mokoro trips, walks and game drives in a private concession. Two very different sides of one remarkable country.

Highlights

  • Elephants at eye level from the boat
  • Chobe's all-female guiding team
  • Mokoro and walking in the Delta
  • Light-aircraft flights across northern Botswana
