Day 01: Arrive in Maun
>> You'll arrive in Botswana at Maun International Airport, the gateway to the country's best safari destinations. From here, it's a short internal flight to Camp Kalahari, a rustic safari camp located in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Here, you can disconnect from modern life (there's no Wi-Fi out here) and reconnect with each other and with nature.
Hidden amongst palms and acacia trees on Brown Hyaena Island, this camp is right on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, next to Makgadikgadi-Nxai Pans National Park. The 12 Meru-style tents of Camp Kalahari are simple and authentic, yet also offer 4-poster beds, en-suite facilities and alfresco showers.
- Time: 8-10Hrs
- Meals: All meals included and Drinking water
Day 02: Explore the Salt Pans
>> Start your luxury safari with a range of adventure activities, including traditional game drives which offer excellent wildlife viewing like the migration of zebra and wildebeest between January and April.
Brown Hyaena Island takes its name from the animal of the same name, the third-rarest large carnivore in the whole of Africa. Other species to keep your eyes peeled for include bat-eared foxes, aardvarks, aardwolves and elephants, whilst predators are never too far behind - keeping an eye on their prey.
- Time: 8-10Hrs
- Meals: All meals included and Drinking water
Day 03: Transfer to Khwai Private Reserve

The camp itself has just 8 rooms and a beautiful main area overlooking the floodplains as well as a swimming pool and look-out deck.

In particular, the reserve is noted for its huge herds of elephant and buffalo. Khwai's impressive cast of characters includes lurking hippos and crocodiles in the waters, big cats and fearsome predators hiding in the bushes, graceful herbivores such as sable, roan, impala, kudu, as well as appearances from rare African wild dogs.

Set next to a beautiful lagoon, Kwara Camp is an adults-only 9-tented camp, offering a peaceful and romantic atmosphere for visiting couples. Each tent features a private deck for wildlife-watching and gorgeous views across the floodplains, as well as en-suite facilities (indoor shower, outdoor shower and bathtub). Between game drives and excursions, enjoy a siesta and relax with a digital detox (there is no Wi-Fi or phone signal at this camp).

- Meals: All meals included and Drinking water
Day 07: explore the Okavango Delta
>> The Kwara Private Reserve is noted for its abundance of predators. You may also be able to tick off the most elusive of Africa's Big Five, as the region is home to the rare white rhino. Other species often found in these parts include big game favourites such as hippo, impala, lechwe, sitatunga, zebra, giraffe and elephant. When you need a break from the "African massage" of a game drive, enjoy a smooth boat cruise on a double-decker boat to the Godikwe Lagoon - an ideal spot for birdwatching.
- Time: 8-10Hrs

Built in 1904, the building was originally conceived as accommodation for labourers working on the Cape-to-Cairo railway, but was transformed in the 1970s to welcome guests.

Those who are looking for a little more adventure can enjoy a wide range of adrenaline activities, including bungee jumping, the Gorge Swing, white-water rafting, zipline, or swimming out to Devil's Pool.
