MAUN TO CHOBE
A safari especially for the green season, when Botswana is in full bloom and animals give birth to their young ones. A period of plenty that makes for truly outstanding safaris.
This Maun to Chobe safari starts with Mokoro in the Okavango Delta before moving onto the Kazinkini Community Reserve — an excellent place to watch animals around the river, complete with walking safaris, night drives, and off-roading.
Then it’s onto one of Botswana's best kept secrets, Kwhai, a community trust area that abounds with some of the country’s most abundant sightings of lions, African wild dogs, leopards, and hyenas. Next on the agenda is Savuti, where the flowing Savuti Channel attracts herds of elephants, lions, zebras, hyenas, and cheetahs. The whole region is known for its annual migration of zebras and, of course, the predators that follow them.
Next, it’s onto this safari’s last stop, Chobe National Park — Botswana’s third largest national park, famous for its riverfront vistas and huge elephant herds.
