Western Hwange National Park
Western Hwange National Park forms the western edge of the Hwange National Park, the largest national park in Zimbabwe and among the ten largest in the continent. The park is conveniently located between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls. Western Hwange National Park borders Botswana, with the Kalahari Desert to its south-west. Mopane woodlands mark its north and north-west zones. The park is a haven for wildlife and nature lovers. These savannah grasslands are home to animals such as gemsbok, Cape wild dogs, elephants and lions, particularly during the wet season. You will come across local wetland birds, along the Deka and Lukosi rivers and their tributaries, as well as along the Gwabadzabuya River, a tributary of the Nata River, to the far south of the park. Safari drives, bush walks and birding trips, accompanied by wildlife guides and trackers, are popular at the park. Of special interest are the many pans or water holes, most of them artificially maintained by park authorities, where animals gather to drink in the dry season. Some of the natural pans are found in Ngweshla, Shakwanki, Nehimba, and the Shumba area.

Okavango Delta
Witness a world of glittering water! The Okavango Delta is one of the largest inland deltas on earth. Each summer, floods pour through a vast network of narrow waterways, lagoons until they are soaked up by the sands. Expect diverse wildlife and birdlife – impala, tsessebe, sable and the elegant kudu, or thirsty buffalo, wildebeest and zebra in the dry season. Lions, cheetahs and wild dogs hunt in the open grassland! Experience game drives and safari walks on land, while boat or mokoru (a dugout canoe) rides allow you to silently glide pass crocodiles! {Please note that due to fluctuating weather conditions and decreased rainfall, water levels at the Okavango Delta may be lower than usual at the time of your visit. Our team will be happy to provide further updates closer to your travel dates and plan alternate activities if required}

Flight to Maun (1 hr)
Maun
Follow in the footsteps of early explorers! Maun has been the start of expeditions into Botswana’s wildlife areas since the turn of the century, and is the gateway to the Okavango Delta. Many guests stay only a day before setting off on safari. Once a village, Maun has recently grown into a bustling little town with shops and hotels. Watch as herdsmen wander along the dusty curbside driving their cattle to the marketplace, or see the traditional houses dotted along the wide banks of the Thamalakane River where red lechwe graze next to local donkeys and goats.
