Program
Day 1: Maun to Khwai Concession
You and your family will be met at Maun Airport for your road transfer to Khwai Jangle Inn in Botswana’s Khwai Concession, one of the country's top wildlife destinations.
The accommodation comprises of four ensuite rooms, with a styling of African feel and welcoming modern touches. It is a wonderful place to unwind and relax between exciting safari adventures in the wildlife-rich areas of the Khwai Concession and Moremi Game Reserve.
After enjoying a delicious lunch served in the warmth of the dining room, made with love and only the freshest ingredients, you will head out on an afternoon game drive. Khwai Concession is the only officially protected and preserved part of the Okavango Delta, and is also known for its excellent and reliable wild dog sightings.
You can also take out your binoculars as your guide will point out the migratory birds, tiny frogs, and unusual game like lechwe and sitatunga. Other sightings may include elephant, lion, hyena, and cheetah.
Day 2: Khwai Concession
This day, you'll spend most of the day in the bush on game drives. Departing after breakfast, hop into the safari vehicle. It will be time for your magical mokoro excursion. Glide through the thick vegetation of the Khwai river, float past crocodiles basking in the sun, and watch bathing elephants and yawning hippos.
When returning to camp, hungry bellies will be treated to an extensive brunch.
After brunch and a siesta, you will head out again in search for the wide variety of wildlife and birds that the area is renowned for, while absorbing the sounds and beauty of this region.
Experience the thrill of a night drive as you continue your game drive into the early hours of the evening (approximately two hours). The darkness presents the opportunity to encounter rarely seen animals such as aardvark, pangolin, honey badger, porcupine, small and large spotted genet, and springhare, also including nocturnal birds and elusive predators like the leopard.
Day 3: Khwai Concession / Moremi Game Reserve
After having explored the Khwai area, you will then head into the famous Moremi Game Reserve, known as one of the most beautiful and varied reserves in Africa with an unprecedented concentration of wildlife.
