More Details
Your emerald season Botswana luxury safari begins with arrival into Johannesburg, where airport staff are on hand to whisk you through baggage claim and customs. Your assistant escorts you the short walk to the InterContinental OR Tambo Airport Hotel, a conveniently-located luxury hotel, for a restful evening following your international flight.
The next day, an assistant collects you from reception to escort you through check in for your flight to Maun, Botswana. Here, board a fixed-wing aircraft for a scenic flight out to Linyanti Bush Camp, your first stop on this incredible emerald season Botswana luxury safari.
The Linyanti Private Reserve sits on the border of Chobe National Park, which is known for its massive elephant herds. While in the reserve, enjoy classic morning and evening game drives, get up close with nature on a guided walk, and experience the serene waterways on a traditional dugout canoe (mokoro).
Meanwhile, consider adding a private vehicle during your safari in order to visit the Vuche Vuche Basket Weaving Project, one of the African Bush Camps Foundation's programs in the region. This project supports local communities by creating employment opportunities for women while also showcasing Botswana's traditional arts. During the visit, try your hand at basket weaving yourself and chat with the women about their lives and families.
Continue your emerald season Botswana luxury safari with an exciting helicopter transfer from Linyanti Airstrip to Khwai Airstrip. There, camp staff collects you for a scenic transfer to Khwai Lediba.
Situated on the edge of the Moremi Game Reserve, Khwai Lediba offers traditional safari activities - game drives, walking, and mokoro safaris - that allow you to experience the pristine wilderness of the Okavango Delta's oldest protected area.
Moreover, the African Bush Camps Foundation supports a local pre-school in the Khwai Community Area, helping young learners access not only education services but also quality nutrition.
Finally, it's time to say farewell to the new friends you've made in these two incredible reserves. Depart Khwai on a fixed-wing light aircraft flight back to Maun.
From here, you may connect to your flight home through Johannesburg. Or consider extending your emerald season Botswana luxury safari with three nights at the inimitable Thorntree River Lodge and experience the stunning Victoria Falls, known locally as "The Smoke That Thunders".
