It is our base as we prepare for our excursion into the Okavango Delta. Our camp is situated on the banks of the Thamalakane River and after setting up camp we have a relaxing afternoon at the swimming pool.  Day 12 - 14 OKAVANGO DELTA [camping Bx3 Lx3 Dx2]We transfer into the delta by open 4WD game viewing vehicle. Our local guides will take us deep into the heart of the Okavango Delta on Mokoro (dugout canoes). Being gently poled through the network of channels is an experience not to be missed. The delta forms as rain water from the Angolan highlands flows out over the flat Kalahari Desert sands, forming a delicate, green oasis for birds and wildlife. We will camp wild on remote islands in this amazingly dynamic environment and enjoy bush walks, bird watching & swimming in the clear waters. Camping with our local guides we learn more about their lifestyle & culture. We return to Maun in the late afternoon of day 14 and have time for an optional (own expense) game flight over the Okavango, which will reveal a different aspect of the delta.Day 15 KHAMA RHINO SANCTUARY [camping BLD]Heading south from Maun, we drive through the wide open spaces of the Kalahari Desert on our way to the Khama Rhino Sanctuary.  This is a community based wildlife project established in 1992 to assist in saving the vanishing rhino, restore an area formerly teeming with wildlife to its previous natural state and to provide economic benefits to the local Batswana community through tourism and the sustainable use of natural resources. We hope to spot some of the elusive rhino on an afternoon game drive.Day 16 JOHANNESBURG - TOUR ENDS [- B--]Crossing back into South Africa, we make our way to Johannesburg were the tour ends in the late afternoon.* Bold dates are guaranteed departures, all other dates guaranteed from 4 clients.* Single tent supplement is applicable to the camping nights only.ZB16 ? 1 395 pps+ local payment of US$ 300? 80 pp single tent supplement*DEPARTS JOHANNESBURGSaturday at06:30amENDSJOHANNESBURGSunday at17:00pmZBa16 ? 1 895 pps+ local payment of US$ 300? 540 pp single supplementDEPARTS JOHANNESBURGSaturday at06:30amENDSJOHANNESBURGSunday at17:00pmChobeNHwangeOkavango DeltaJohannesburgGreat ZimbabweKrugerMatobosVictoria FallsKhamaSOUTH AFRICABOTSWANAZIMBABWESunway Okavango Mokoro
