Itinerary Description:

This is a classic journey that explores every major ecosystem in Botswana, from the desert to the delta. Beginning in Livingstone, guests will discover Victoria Falls in two nights of romantic luxury. The remaining ten nights of your itinerary will be spent on a private exploration of Botswana’s major regions: Chobe National Park, the Linyanti Game Reserve, the Okavango Delta, and the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans in the Central Kalahari.

There is no place on earth like Botswana to experience Big Five game. From fur to feathers, Botswana offers the lover of all things wild a truly unique and exquisite game experience.

Guests here enjoy private and exclusive lodges, some which have a maximum capacity of only 16 guests at any one time. Experience game viewing on vast, private reserves where size is measured in miles, not acres. Pricing includes all suggested properties in the itinerary, but our travel experts can customize this journey to suit your taste, style and budget. Just ask!

Many of our past clients return to Botswana time and again for the exclusivity and privacy, and we often times hear them describe their experience as, “We felt as if we had the place to ourselves!”
