Botswana 4x4 Safari: Okavango, Chobe & Victoria Falls

DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN MAUN – THE GATEWAY TO THE OKAVANGO DELTA

Your journey begins in Maun, the heart of Botswana and the gateway to the legendary Okavango Delta. After landing, you will be met by an English-speaking driver and transferred to your hotel. Founded in 1915 as the capital of the Batawana people, Maun is now a vibrant town that serves as the central starting point for safaris into one of Africa's most fascinating wetland landscapes. Here, you can settle in at your own pace, acclimatize after your journey, and get into the spirit of the adventure ahead. Enjoy the afternoon just as you please—whether taking a stroll through town or simply relaxing in anticipation of the safari experiences to come.

The comfortable tented chalets on raised wooden decks offer an authentic "Out of Africa" feel and expansive views over the lush marshlands. In the afternoon, you will set off on your first game drive. Traveling in open safari vehicles, you will head into the wilderness, where, with a bit of luck, you may spot elephants, giraffes, or zebras.
