We make our way to the banks of the Okavango River along game-drive routes in the early morning. Today we explore the clear channels, lagoons and rivers of the Okavango Delta by motor boat , going upstream through a myriad of crystal clear waterways lined with African Mangosteen and Water Berry Trees, as well as swaying seas of papyrus. We follow the Okavango River through the Lagoons of Xaxanaxa and Gadikwe, deep into the permanent waters of this unique inland delta. Birdlife is prolific-Kingfishers, Fish Eagles,Ducks and beautiful Pygmy Geese being regularly seen.After a picnic lunch, we make our way back downstream to the mainland for the short evening drive and dinner.

The team breaks camp and we take a leisurely drive to our private campsite in the Khwai River area of Moremi Game Reserve. This region’s diversity of animals is truly astounding. Moremi was proclaimed a conservation area in 1964-the result of this foresight is that Moremi is quite rightly been rated as one of the best game-viewing areas in the world.

Today is spent on early morning and afternoon game drives. Your guide will generally spend maximum time on game-drives, depending on what is seen, trying to cover as much area as possible. The result of this is guests are given the best chances of seeing a variety of wildlife-although there is of course, that obligatory siesta during the hottest part of the day!

We leave Moremi, crossing the Khwai Bridge to the northern bank of Khwai River, we make our way to Chobe National Park. Due to the fact that none of Botswana’s wildlife areas are fenced, game can move freely between these two wilderness areas. Hippo, Elephant and sometimes Lion are often found on this route. Moving through the Mababe depression, we relocate to Savuti where we camp in the region of the Savuti Channel. Game viewing this afternoon takes place along the fringes of the marsh and surrounding water holes. The area is best known for large populations of Bull Elephants-and Prides of Lion that patrol the banks of this enigmatic channel.

We again we have the opportunity to spend many hours on morning and afternoon game drives, and time dependent, an opportunity to climb one of the hills to see San Bushman paintings, an indication that this area has always drawn those who have an affinity to the wilderness. Savuti is unique and the special opportunity of exploring this area always remains with our guests for a long time afterward.

We journey north toward the Chobe River ,the second biggest river in Southern Africa (Zambezi in the largest).Chobe River is home the world’s largest Elephant herds; large numbers of big game such as Buffalo, Hippo and Lion can be seen here. Gamedrives are taken in the afternoons and mornings to find the remarkable variety of species that are drawn to this permanent water source.

After an early start, we take a slow drive along the southern bank of the Chobe River, where we can find Chobe Bushbuck and Puku Antelope. The sheer variety of animals, in abundance, make this region a must-see for any wildlife enthusiast.In the afternoon, guests might choose to go on an optional afternoon boat cruise along the Chobe River-perhaps the last river where one has a fair chance to see Lion and Elephant, Leopard or Wild Dog from the unique viewpoint of a boat.

We have a leisurely start this last camping morning and say fond farewells to our efficient back-up and camp crew after breakfast. We head eastwards on a last game drive to the exit-gate at Sedudu Valley. From there it is a short drive to Kazungula Border Post, where your Safari Guide will ensure that your transfer back to Vic Falls is seamless, before leaving to lead another safari.

Check into Batonka Guest Lodge for three nights.

Many optional activities are available at Victoria Falls .

Game Drives
Lion Camp is based in one of the most exclusive abundant game-viewing areas in Africa and therefore delights with its daily game drives. Game viewing during the dry season is spectacular with lions, leopard, wild dog, large herds of elephant and buffalo, incredible bird viewing, unique Thornicroft’s Giraffe, Cookson’s Wildebeest and the Crawshay’s Zebra. Never a dull moment on drive at Lion Camp. The changing seasons are very pronounced with the dry season starting in April and intensifying in October before the rainy season starts in November. Lion Camp therefore operates during the dry season and offers our seasoned travellers the beauty of the landscape with savannas, large patches of grasslands and the scenic views of the meandering Luangwa River with the highest concentration of hippo in Africa. Visit the Leadwood forest, large Ebony groves, spectacular Mahogany & Sausage Trees and the amazingly spectacular Baobab forest.

Walking Safaris
South Luangwa is well known for its walking safaris which is a very different experience to game drives. It brings you in touch with the land, wilderness and eco-system of the bush. It is genuinely breath-taking to stride out into the bush with your guide and scout where you are on the same footing as wild animals. Here you will experience the sense of time and space as the animals.

Be your interest birds, wildlife or landscape, Lion Camp is a photographer’s dream.

Transfer this morning to Mfuwe airport for your flight to the Lower Zambezi (cost of flight not included). On arrival you will be met and transferred to Anabezi Luxury Tented Camp for the next four nights in the heart of the Lower Zambezi National Park.

Located on the banks of the Zambezi River in Zambia, you’ll find the exquisite Anabezi Camp. Its name, derived from the Ana Trees, or Winter Thorns, that surround it, is more than a luxurious camp, but home to all kinds of wildlife. Attracted by the corn-yellow pods that fall from the trees, you’ll be mere metres away from feasting elephants as they spend long, lazy days by the riverbanks. Anabezi Camp is made up of twelve spacious, secluded tents, raised on timber platforms to give you a magnificent view of the Lower Zambezi National Park. Where the Zambezi River and Mushika Flood Plain meet, is also the meeting spot for hundreds of animal species. Come morning or night, you’ll be greeted with an array of game from the comfort of your tent. Over the days you will enjoy a range of activities including game drives, game walks, canoeing, boating safaris, fishing and birding. Over 95% of the game sightings in this area are exclusive to your vehicle which is a welcome change from many other parts of Africa.

Game Drives
Our 4×4 vehicles make it easy for you to follow the animals as they spend their days roaming around the Lower Zambezi National Park plains, and relaxing in the sun. From lazy lions, to buffalos, rhinos, and herds of elephant, to mention a few, let our experienced guides teach you about their natural habitat, while giving you some truly picturesque moments.

Walking Safaris
Usually leaving first thing in the morning to take advantage of the cooler weather, our walking safaris are a great way to acquaint yourself with all the wonders around you. With guides who will point out various birds, plants and insects, offering you interesting details and facts, you’ll not only get up, close and personal with the Lower Zambezi National Park, but learn a lot too.

Boating
Explore the main bank, islands and channels in the lower Zambezi River on a custom-built boat. The most comfortable way to discover the wildlife, plants and birdlife that live around the river, you can watch as they graze, play, drink and raise their young. From fish eagles, to crocs, hippos and buffalos, make the most of the Lower Zambezi National Park with a cocktail in one hand, and a delicious assortment of snacks in the other.

Canoeing
The Zambezi River is the fourth largest river in Africa, and how better to explore it than by canoe. Each canoeing trip is led by an experienced guide, who not only has a vast knowledge of the animals, plants, fish and birds that reside alongside, and in the river, but also the water conditions too. From crocodiles, to hippo pods, rare birds and fresh water fish, this experience is truly once-in-a-lifetime.

Fishing
For keen fishermen, late August to mid November is the best time to fish on the Zambezi River – although the tiger fish and other species can be caught throughout the safari season. With a firm catch-and-release policy, we want you to enjoy fresh water fishing, but without harming the environment. With our custom built 18’ pontoon boats, and river guides with an intimate knowledge of the river they’ve grown up in, both beginners and experts will be taken to the best spots for a mesmerizing experience.

Today in time for your flight back to Lusaka, you will be transferred to the airport.
