Jeep Safari Botswana: A Camping Safari on the Flamingo Route

Day 1:
Maun
‍After your arrival you will be met by our representative and taken to the rental station. Here you will receive a detailed briefing on your vehicle, the equipment and the route you will take in the coming days. Afterwards you will have the opportunity to buy your provisions for the coming days in one of the local supermarkets. You will spend your first night at the camping site in Maun.

‍

Day 2 & 3:
Camping at the Moreni Game Reserve
‍Travel time from Maun approx. 4-6 hours, depending on wildlife observation

You will spend two days in the Moreni Game Reserve. Located in the east of the Okavango Delta, this park is one of the most beautiful reserves in Africa. It encompasses more than 4,871 square kilometres of pristine wilderness, and the varied terrain includes savannah, winding waterways and dense forest.

This diverse ecosystem supports an incredibly wide range of wildlife, from large herds of buffalo, gnu and zebra, to the rare sitatunga and lechwe antelope, lion, cheetah and pack of wild dogs on the open meadows. The birdlife is fertile and includes most of the 550 bird species on Botswana's national bird list.

‍

Day 4 & 5:
Camping in the Khwai area of the Moreni Game Reserve
‍Dismantling of the camp and onward journey in the direction of Khwai River.

The Khwai area of the Okavango lies along the northern border of the Moremi Game Reserve. This is an unfenced border that allows animals to move freely between the forests, where water is abundant during the rainy season, and the permanent rivers and lagoons of the delta.

‍

Day 6 & 7:
Savuti Area (Chobe National Park)
‍Dismantling of the camp and onward journey in the direction of Chobe National Park.

Savuti, also known as Savute, is located in the heart of the beautiful Chobe National Park. This dynamic wilderness is a vast savannah interrupted by several rocky promontories that guard the mostly dry valley, once its lifeline, like a relic from ancient times. The Savuti area goes through wet and dry cycles, and where wild dogs now hunt in the dry course of the river, crocodiles used to swim twenty years ago. Visitors to this spectacular area can discover many animal species including: a variety of birds, elephants, antelopes, lions, jackals and foxes, zessebes, kudus, hyenas, cheetahs, cape buffalo herds and thousands of migratory zebras and wildebeests.

‍

Day 8 & 9:
Ihaha Area (Chobe National Park)
‍The Chobe River forms the northern boundary of the Chobe National Park, known for its diverse and abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. This section of the park is best known for its dense concentration of elephant and hippopotamus populations, but the water attracts all kinds of animals, including large herds of buffalo. A visit to this area guarantees a close encounter with a range of African wildlife.

‍

Day 10:
Kasane - Nata
‍After the morning game drive you drive to the town of Kasane. Here you can refresh your supplies, take food and drinks on board and refuel your car for the next few days. Afterwards it goes on a somewhat longer stage on asphaltierter up to Nata, where you should arrive after approx. 3-4 hours. We camp tonight at the Nata Lodge.

‍

Day 11:
Kubu Island
‍Early in the morning we leave for Kubu Island. In contrast to its name, Kubu is no longer an island today, but an approximately one kilometre long elevation in the middle of Sua Pan, which has an already mystical charisma. Often jackals, hyenas, antelopes and sometimes elephants can be found here.

‍

Day 12 & 13:
Makgadikgadi Pans (Nxai Pan, Baines Baobabs & Njuca Hills)
‍The Makgadikgadi salt pans are pure salt pans surrounded by grass savannah. During the rainy season from December to March, many animals from the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park migrate to this area. Mostly grass eaters can be found now, followed by their hunters like lions, leopard cheetahs and many more. If the salt pans are flooded after heavy rainfall, they become breeding grounds for thousands of flamingos. You spend two nights here and explore this exciting area.

‍

Day 14:
Khumaga
‍After breakfast you will leave for the west of the Makgadikgadi National Park. At the Boteti River lies your last place to stay overnight, the Khumaga Camp. Elephants, zebras and hippopotamuses often stay here. The landscape is a typical dry savannah, but there are also unique palm forests along the river.

‍

Day 15:
Maun
‍After the camp has been broken off, you will return to your starting point in about 2-3 hours, to Maun, where the circle closes and for you this means the end of this journey. Here you hand back your rented vehicle and depending on the booked program, you will either be transferred to the airport or start your next tour.
