Day by day on your journey
Arrival in Maun and Start of the Safari
After arriving in Maun, your safari begins with a light-aircraft flight into the first safari area. From the air, impressive views open up over the waterways, lagoons and floodplains of the Okavango Delta.
After landing, meet your safari team and enjoy your first game drive on the way to camp in Moremi Game Reserve. In the evening, enjoy your first dinner under the open sky.
Game Drives in Moremi Game Reserve
The day is devoted entirely to intensive safari experiences in Moremi Game Reserve. In the morning and afternoon, set out on game drives in an open safari vehicle.
The varied landscape of floodplains, woodland and open savannah offers excellent chances of seeing elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards and numerous antelope species.
From Moremi Game Reserve to the Khwai Area
After a morning game drive, leave Moremi and head towards Khwai, stopping repeatedly along the way for wildlife viewing.
The Khwai area is known for its high density of predators and offers particularly good chances of seeing lions and leopards.
Safari Experiences in Khwai
Today you explore the Khwai area in depth. Morning and afternoon game drives follow the Khwai River and cross open plains popular with elephants, giraffes and antelope.
The concession allows flexible safari activities and rewarding nature experiences away from the busier routes.
On to the Savute Region
After breakfast, travel north into the Savute region of Chobe National Park. The area is known for its dramatic landscapes and complex ecosystem.
Savute is excellent territory for lions, hyenas and large herds of elephants. Another game drive awaits in the afternoon.
Game Drives in Savute
The entire day is dedicated to the Savute region. Extended game drives reveal the diverse wildlife of this distinctive savannah landscape.
Vegetation and animal movements change markedly through the seasons – one reason Savute is among Botswana's most fascinating safari regions.
To the Chobe Riverfront
Today you continue to the Chobe Riverfront, one of Africa's richest wildlife areas. The journey crosses different habitats and repeatedly offers opportunities for wildlife viewing.
In the afternoon, reach your camp near the Chobe River, where large herds of elephants and buffalo regularly gather.
Game Drive and Boat Safari on the Chobe
In the morning, enjoy a game drive along the Chobe Riverfront. In the afternoon, take a boat safari on the Chobe River.
From the water, see elephants, hippos, crocodiles and numerous bird species at close range – an impressive change of perspective.
End of the Safari
After breakfast, your safari comes to an end. Depending on the departure date, transfer to Kasane or – when the itinerary operates in reverse – take the final scenic flight to Maun.
On selected dates, the safari is operated entirely in reverse order; the regions, number of nights and activities remain identical.

Guests who have previously been on a safari with Okavango Expeditions are eligible for a returning guest discount. This is 5% for your first return trip and 10% for your second.
National park fees
Tour prices are subject to potential increases in national park fees by the Botswana government. Such adjustments may occur without prior notice.
Travel insurance
Comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory for all our safaris. This must specifically cover travel cancellation, trip interruption, medical emergencies, medically necessary repatriation, and accidents.
Relevant insurance details must be provided upon confirmation of your booking.
Luggage policy
As storage space on a mobile safari is limited, each guest is restricted to a maximum of 20 kg of luggage. This includes a small day bag, hand luggage, and camera equipment. Luggage must be packed in a soft, compact bag. Hard-shell suitcases are not suitable.
A total luggage limit of 20 kg per person, including hand luggage and camera equipment, also applies to all charter flights.
Guests weighing 110 kg or more, or those with excess luggage, may be required to book an additional seat on charter flights. Please inform us of any such requirements at the time of booking.
Any additional costs incurred due to excess luggage are to be borne by the traveller.
Itinerary and operation
We and our local partners make every effort to adhere to the published itineraries and schedules. However, changes may be necessary due to local conditions, weather, or limited availability. You will be informed in good time of any changes known before the start of your trip.
Safaris operate with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 12 guests. The operator reserves the right to cancel a departure up to two months before the start of the trip if the required minimum number of participants is not reached.
All itineraries are subject to the availability of the planned campsites. Changes to overnight locations or routes are therefore possible. You will receive relevant information at the time of booking.
Depending on local conditions, a planned mokoro excursion in the Okavango Delta may be replaced by a trip in a motorised boat.
Alcoholic beverages
Selected alcoholic beverages are included in the price of our serviced mobile safaris. This is based on an average consumption of up to six units of alcohol per person per day.
For safety reasons, our guides monitor and regulate alcohol consumption during the safari. No alcohol is served or consumed during activities and game drives. Please also note that the consumption of alcoholic beverages in public places in Botswana is prohibited by law.
The included offer covers beer, wine, gin & tonic, and Amarula. You are welcome to bring your own additional drinks. Special beverage requests can be arranged for an extra charge, subject to prior agreement and availability.
Age restrictions
The minimum age for participating in a scheduled safari with fixed departure dates is 12 years. For private safaris, children from the age of 8 are welcome to join. For safety reasons, children must be accommodated with an adult.
Children and teenagers aged between 12 and 17 inclusive receive a 15% discount when travelling with their parents.
Guests over 70 years of age must provide a medical certificate confirming their fitness to travel. Comprehensive travel insurance, including medical evacuation (MedEvac), is mandatory.
Single supplement
As a rule, there is no single tent supplement for guided mobile safaris. However, the operator reserves the right to limit the number of single tents per departure.
Seating in safari vehicles
On scheduled safari departures, all paying guests are guaranteed a window seat. Middle seats are not occupied under normal circumstances.
Middle seats are only occupied following prior agreement with tour operators or travel agencies.
The seat next to the safari guide can also be used as a window seat and may be rotated among guests if required.
Vehicles and tour guides
The operator reserves the right to change the tour guides, staff, and 4x4 vehicles used, depending on local conditions and operational requirements.
The actual safari vehicles used may differ from those shown on the website. The vehicles feature the "Lewis Safaris" branding on the door.
Operator and local execution
Safaris in Botswana are operated by the licensed company Lewis Safaris.
Lewis Safaris is under the full control of Okavango Expeditions via relevant marketing and management agreements. Both companies share the same Managing Director.
