10-Day Botswana Wildlife & Birdwatching Safari

Highlights

This 10-day journey showcases Botswanaโ€™s best wildlife and birdwatching regions. Begin in the stark beauty of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, move into predator-rich areas of the Okavango Delta, and finish in the water-and-bird paradise of the Jao Concession. This fly-in luxury safari includes quad biking, mokoro rides, game drives, and walksโ€”with opportunities to spot species from lions and elephants to rare birds like the Pelโ€™s fishing owl and wattled crane.

Details Itinerary

Arrive at Maun International Airport, where a short internal flight takes you to San Camp, nestled on the edge of the vast Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Enjoy a sundowner and set out on your first evening game drive. Relax in this remote tented camp with dramatic views across the open pans.Accommodation: San Camp

Spend two full days exploring the pans by quad bike, meeting meerkats, and searching for wildlife like red hartebeest, springbok, and gemsbok. The endless horizons offer breathtaking 360-degree views and some of Africaโ€™s best stargazing. Unwind in camp with treats like banana and caramel cake after a dusty, exciting day.Accommodation: San Camp

Fly from the salt pans into the heart of the Okavango Delta. Stay at Chitabe Camp, located in a private concession rich in big game and birdlife. Your spacious Meru-style tent features outdoor and indoor showers, and your private deck overlooks floodplains teeming with wildlife.Accommodation: Chitabe Camp

Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives where large predators such as lions, leopards, and wild dogs may be spotted. Night drives reveal civets, bush babies, and owls. Chitabe is also a birding hotspotโ€”look for species like the African hawk-eagle, scarlet-chested sunbird, and gabar goshawk.Accommodation: Chitabe Camp

Fly west into the Jao Concession, a quieter and water-rich section of the Okavango. Stay at Jacana Camp, a peaceful hideaway nestled in wild date palms and sycamore figs. Unwind by the firepit after a day of discovery and gaze up at Botswanaโ€™s starry night sky.Accommodation: Jacana Camp

This area is famous for its seasonal water safaris and mokoro (dugout canoe) trips. Spot hippos, crocs, and diverse birdlife. With luck, see rare species like the Pelโ€™s fishing-owl or the wattled crane. Walking safaris and traditional game drives are also offered.Accommodation: Jacana Camp
