Elephants on the Chobe, three nights in the Okavango Delta, and two among the salt pans of the Makgadikgadi.
This is a complete Botswana in eight days. You begin on the Chobe River among the elephants, fly to the Okavango Delta for three nights of mokoro and boat safaris, and finish at the Makgadikgadi salt pans, with meerkats and quad bikes.
Flights link every stop, and each camp is a classic of its type, so the trip moves from river to water to salt without a 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.
