Guests at Camp Moremi can go on game drives in a particularly fruitful section of the Moremi Game Reserve, while those at Camp Okavango can enjoy water activities such as canoeing, walking safaris, and boating all year round. Both campgrounds offer excellent opportunities for bird viewing, and you’ll have plenty of downtime to really appreciate this famous site.

Days 3-4: See Predators in Savuti | 2 Nights Chobe National Park, Botswana

You will be greeted and taken to Savute Safari Lodge in the Savute section of Chobe National Park today after your scheduled air charter trip. Here, you can go on game drives in the morning and afternoon accompanied by knowledgeable rangers.

Lions and spotted hyenas, two predatory species that frequently engage in kill-and-run conflicts, inhabit Savute in the remote and wild central region of Chobe.

In addition to the usual suspects like elephants, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, wild dogs, and black-backed jackals, you can also expect to see a wide variety of typical savannah animals, magnificent birdlife, and leopards. You can see some of the country’s top games on the now-running Savute Channel.

The Chobe Game Lodge is situated on the banks of the Chobe River in Botswana’s world-famous Chobe National Park, a top safari destination in Africa. From Kasane Airport, you may reach the lodge via road.

During the severe dry season (June to October), the elephant herds in Chobe River Valley, which is home to Africa’s biggest concentration of elephants, move in large numbers to the river’s floodplains and woods, where food is abundant. You can go bird viewing like nowhere else in Southern Africa, and you can also see crocodiles, lions, buffalo, and hippos.

Morning and afternoon game drives are great for spotting uncommon animals like roan antelope, wild dogs, and sable. If you’re in Chobe for a while, you should definitely partake in a water activity; small motorboats are great for game viewing, and a sunset cruise on a huge riverboat is the stuff of Chobe legend.

Day 7: Travel Back to Kasane

You will leave Chobe Game Lodge after breakfast today and be driven to Kasane Airport to catch your next flight.
