Overview
The water, wildlife and wilderness experiences of Moremi Game Reserve, Khwai Concession and the Okavango Delta make this safari very special.
Maun is the gateway to the Okavango Delta and a focal area for visiting Northern Botswana. You will enjoy a luxury boutique hotel experience at Gray’s Eden Sanctuary located on the Thamalakane River which flows out of the Okavango Delta.
The Khwai Concession has become legendary for its prolific predator activity due to the abundance of plains game depending on the Khwai River and providing frequent predator-prey interactions.
Moremi Game Reserve is one of the richest wildlife areas in Africa including abundant birdlife and a diversity of trees and plants. Located 2 hours north of Maun, it covers an area of nearly 5,000 sq. kms and forms the eastern tongue of the Okavango Delta, combining diverse aquatic and savanna habitats and offering the visitor a truly magnificent wildlife experience. These habitats include river channels, swamps, seasonal floodplains, islands, lagoons, aquatic vegetation, beautiful tall riparian woodlands, grassland, savanna woodlands and sandveld.
The Okavango Delta, known as the Jewel of the Kalahari, is a treasure trove of spectacular landscapes, a mosaic of aquatic and dry land habitats where an abundance of wildlife can be seen. It is the largest inland delta in the world with permanent swamps in the north and floodplains in the south that start filling up from the end of July.
After a night in Maun, take a charter flight to the Khwai Concession where you will spend 3 nights at Mashaba Camp beautifully located on the Khwai River overlooking Moremi Game Reserve.
Then a charter flight to Monachira Camp where you will spend 3 nights enjoying one of the most beautiful and game-rich wildife sanctuaries in Africa.
The pristine wilderness, waterways and wildlife will enchant you.
