Your flight* takes you to the northern regions of Botswana, where you connect by light aircraft into the heart of the Okavango Delta and its network of lagoons, channels, palm islands and floodplains. Time to settle into your safari surrounds, before heading out on your first afternoon adventure.
Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp or Sanctuary Baines’ Camp
Day 3 Design Your Day Okavango DeltaThe day is yours to discover the pristine beauty of the Okavango Delta and its extraordinary wildlife. Choose two of the following activities. A morning or afternoon game drive on the grassy plains to observe buffalo, elephant, giraffe and maybe even lion, leopard and cheetah; take to the waterways and experience the solitude of the Delta by mokoro (seasonal) as your safari guide gently poles you through the channels; or take a guided safari walk to learn why even the most miniscule things in nature are still significant. You can also spend a morning with the semi habituated elephants – Jabu, Thembi and Morula – learning and observing their traits up close in a natural environment (additional cost).
