Three nights in the Khwai and Moremi bush for the cats, then three on the Chobe River for the elephants.
This route pairs the best big-cat country in Botswana with its best elephant country. Khwai and Moremi have lions, leopards and wild dog on the floodplains, and the Chobe River has the biggest elephant herds in Africa.
Three nights in each place gives you time to follow the animals, and a flight from Maun to Kasane saves a long day on the road.
