SAFARI TYPE:
Fly In Safari ROUTING HIGHLIGHTS: MOREMI GAME RESERVE - Moremi is lush and varied - a patchwork of lagoons, shallow flooded pans, plains and forests. It is one of Africa's finest areas for wildlife, with particularly high game densities. The animals found here are numerous, relaxed and often allow vehicles to approach closely. XAKANAXA LAGOON - In the heart of Moremi, at the tip of the Mopane Tongue, lies Xakanaxa Lagoon. Leopard and cheetah are regularly seen and the density of antelope is amazing. The area's birdlife is exceptionally varied, from innumerable herons, egrets, storks and other waders to many species of sparrow hawks, buzzards and kites. SAVUTI MARSH - Savuti is one of Africa's most famous big game areas. The dry marsh has formed immense, open grassland dotted with the skeletons of drowned trees. Large herds of game route through Savuti on annual migrations between Botswana's parched interior and the rivers of the north and west. The remarkably nutritious grasses of the area attract large herds of zebra, impala, wildebeest, giraffe, tsessebe, buffalo and elephant. Leopard are always plentiful around the granite kopjes and retain permanent territories here, so do the packs of spotted hyena and large prides of lion and an abundance of old bull elephants that are forever about. Much activity concentrates around the three waterholes at Savuti. CHOBE NATIONAL PARK - Located in the northern Kalahari region; the Chobe National Park was named after the Chobe River which runs along Botswana's northern border. The National Park covers about 11,700km² and consists mainly of dense thorny bush emerging from deep alluvial soils; this park is world renowned for the magnificent array of wildlife contained within its borders. THE CHOBE RIVERFRONT - The Chobe Riverfront forms part of the Chobe National Park and is located on the northern border of Botswana, this pristine wilderness, ranges from the verdant flood grassland and thickets beside the Chobe River to forest, Mopane woodland and scrub. Along the riverfront the wildlife roams in profusion and diversity. The elephant population, estimated to number in excess 30,000, is the largest single concentration in Africa surviving within the confines of a proclaimed National Park. Bird life is abundant and diverse with in excess of 450 species recorded. ITINERARY: Day 1 &
