After a last morning game drive and breakfast you are transferred to the airstrip for your flight to the Khwai airstrip. On arrival transfer to Machaba Camp for three days. 

Machaba Camp is a traditional style camp nestling in the game-rich Khwai area. The Khwai Concession is a 35 000 hectare reserve located in the north eastern section of the world-famous Okavango Delta and it shares its westerly border with the Moremi Game Reserve. Nestled in a riverine tree line, the camp offers privacy, spectacular river views and excellent food – enveloped in a layer of warm hospitality. Should you wander away from the comfort of camp you can spot a wealth of land and water-based wildlife.

From bird watching to taking an untamed walking safari under the care of a highly trained guide, there is always something to see and do. Activities and experiences at Machaba Camp include thrilling game drives, exploring the waterways by mokoro, and guided safari walks. As the camp is based in a concession, guests can experience wildlife closer with guided walking safaris, relaxed mokoro trips and night safari drives discovering the nocturnal side of the Okavango, ensuring your safari adventure is unique.

After a last morning game drive and breakfast you are transferred to the airstrip for your flight to the Tsigaro airstrip. On arrival transfer to Camp Kalahari for three days. 

The laidback little sister of Jack’s and San Camp, Camp Kalahari is Natural Selection’s understated and affordable base in the heart of the great Kalahari. Set amongst the waving palms and acacia trees of Brown Hyena Island, the 12 funky Meru tents are perfect for families, groups and couples, and are an ideal base for discovering the charms of the desert and the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, a landscape that’s as surreal as it is sublime, and as mysterious as it is magical.

The common areas include a central library and a living and dining area, festooned with an eclectic mix of original African furniture and colonial antiques. Meals are refreshingly simple and wonderfully tasty, and served, family-style, at the long table. There’s also a thatched swimming pool, providing the perfect place for a refreshing dip on a hot afternoon – just watch out for the ellies who might pop in for a quick drink too. Electricity is kept to a minimum; there are electrical lights in the bedrooms, but when night falls, the majority of camp is lit by twinkling paraffin lanterns.

Up-close encounters with our habituated meerkats. Join the Zu/’hoasi Bushmen on bush walks through the desert. Take game drives and night drives in custom built 4x4s to see the unique desert wildlife. Embark on an adventurous two-hour horseback safari. Multi-day riding safaris are also available for experienced riders. Take a radical sabbatical and quad bike across the salt-crusted pans to Kubu Island. Lie out on the pans as the sun sets, and watch the planetarium of stars unfold. Witness the second largest migration of zebra and wildebeest in Africa (and it’s also the last remaining one in Southern Africa).
