Begin your Botswana long safari holidays journey with a scenic charter flight from Maun over the Okavango Delta. Upon landing in the Moremi Game Reserve, you’ll be greeted by your safari team and transferred to your luxury campsite, already set up for your arrival. After lunch and relaxation, head out for your first game drive in this spectacular reserve, home to an abundance of wildlife including elephants, lions, and lechwe. Return to camp for dinner under the stars and enjoy the sounds of the African night.
