Experience exciting game drives and feel awed by the beauty of Africa on this drive as you marvel at the beautiful reflection of the sun rays as you peacefully maneuver through the Chobe National Park observing large herds of elephants which are frequently seen walking to and from the river. Due to the high density of herbivores in this area, many predators such as lions and leopards can be found.
Chobe National Park is known for its large herds of elephants and Cape buffalo, which converge along the
Chobe Riverfront in the dry months. Lions, antelopes and hippos inhabit the woods and lagoons around
Chobe Marsh. The floodable grasslands attract numerous bird species, plus migrating zebras.
After a morning game drive of the Chobe National Park, we’ll take a 3-hour drive to Elephant Sands stopping over for lunch. Elephant Sands offers the pleasure of observing herds of elephants along the shores of the water hole—bathing, drinking, playing and cajoling.

Departure to Maun soon after breakfast at 10:00 am, of which we will arrive around 1:00 pm, just in time for lunch, and to refresh at Maun Cresta Lodge as we get ready to go for an optional activity, a scenic flight at the Maun International Airport.
The scenic flights are one hour long, and they offer passengers the opportunity to discover the lush surroundings of the Okavango Delta by air. Not only will flyers witness the magnificent scenery of the area, but they’ll also have a high chance of spotting wildlife.
As the flight is only about 500ft (152.4m) off the ground, passengers may be treated to views of large fields of buffalo, roaming elephants, a journey of giraffe, and wallowing hippos. The wild is unpredictable, and no flight is the same; therefore, this creates excitement and anticipation as flyers never know what they’re going to see.
Today, our activity is the Okavango Delta Mokoro day trip, which offers the exploration of the famed Okavango Delta by Mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe. The trip starts at around 09:00 in the morning from the Mokoro boat station, where you will meet your Mokoro poler who will take you gliding past the islands that dot the delta and the surrounding channels for a unique experience that sets you amongst nature. The trip will lead through the Okavango Delta, where it neighbours the Moremi Game Reserve. In this scenic and wildlife-rich area, you will be able to view various game drawn to the live-giving waters until 16:30 hours.
