This unique journey showcases Botswana in all its magnificence. You’ll experience the wilds of the Selinda Reserve, where game viewing is hard core, the wetlands of the pristine Okavango Delta, and the extraordinary desert experience of the remote Makgadikgadi salt pans. See big game in huge numbers, as well as the smaller more elusive species, and at the end of each adventurous day retire to the sublime comforts of our hand-picked camps and lodges.
Journey Highlights
A&K welcome to Botswana where you are met and assisted to your light aircraft flight to Selinda Camp, one of only a handful of Botswana based Relais & Châteaux member properties, located in the pristine paradise of the 130,000-hectare Selinda Reserve. This wild, unfenced wildlife sanctuary is well known for its large number of predators including lion and African wild dog, plains game as well as huge elephant herds. Before your first game viewing activity this afternoon, settle into your accommodation, featuring just 3 luxurious suites.
Selinda Camp | Meals: LD
Setting out at dawn, when predators are active, guides are as keen as guests to discover the riches of each day. Once the sun is high and strong, retreat with the herds to camp. Then, as the sun begins to wane, head out late afternoon in search of nocturnal wildlife and the action that comes with and after sunset. Short guided walks from camp are offered as well.

Today take a spectacular helicopter flight which will follow along the Selinda Spillway to the Okavango Delta with its network of lagoons, channels, palm islands and floodplains to your next camp, Vumbura Plains. Recently refurbished, this luxurious sanctuary is set in a renowned high density game area.
Vumbura Plains | Meals: BLD
Spend two full days at Vumbura Plains exploring the Okavango Delta. Vumbura Plains offers both land and water activities, principally game viewing in varied habitats in open vehicles, by mokoro and by boat, providing an excellent all-round experience. Vumbura's unique position in the extreme north of the Delta encompasses such a wide variety of habitats and species that it has representatives of just about every animal that occurs

Leave the wetlands behind and fly to the remote Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, the largest saltpan in the world. Your elegant 1940’s style safari accommodation, the recently rebuilt Jack’s Camp, is an oasis of style, old-world glamour and comfort in the middle of Botswana’s Kalahari Desert located in a beautiful palm grove.

Spend the next two days exploring a relic of one of the world’s largest super lakes, the Makgadikgadi, which dried up thousands of years ago. Travelling by 4WD quad bike (seasonal), you will be able to explore remote archaeological sites including fossil beds of extinct species. A safari here is a complete desert experience focusing on species unique to the area such as aardvark, gemsbuck and springbuck. It is the only place where you are virtually guaranteed to see the rare and elusive brown hyena and interact with a gang of habituated but wild meerkats.
