For the ultimate Okavango wilderness experience,you can fly into the Okavango Delta to an area of permanent water for a two nights stay at a rustic tented camp.

Chief's Island is the largest landmass within Moremi and was the Batswana tribe's richest hunting ground, before being declared a game reserve by the tribe. We spend 4 days on game drives watching the abundant wildlife including elephant, hippo, buffalo, lion & other game, both in Moremi Game Reserve and in private concession reserves surrounding the park.

The shimmering saltpans of Makgadikgadi appear as a glearing white, endless plain. When the rain comes a dramatic change takes place as thousands of wildebeest and zebra migrate to the sweet nutritious grasslands and clouds of flamingo feed in its algae rich waters. It is an area of low rainfall so this spectacle only lasts a short while.www.sunway-safaris.comElephants drinking in Moremi GRLions Botswana Wild ParksACCOMMODATED ITINERARYDay 1 JOHANNESBURG to KHAMA RHINO SANCTUARY [chalets -LD] (B=breakfast, L=lunch, D=dinner)Departing from Johannesburg at 06:30am we head north into Botswana and the Khama Rhino Sanctuary.
