Itinerary Details

Day 1 – 2

International Arrival

Shared Transfer to your accommodation (15-20 mins)

1 Night

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.

Included activities

Group Horse Riding Experience in Botswana

Enjoy the excitement of riding a horse on the rolling plains of Botswana, dotted with local game. Set off from your hotel in Maun for a game reserve and embark on a horse riding experience suited to your comfort level. Settle yourself in stirrups as your handsome mount takes you through the expansive landscape. Feel the wind in your hair and the spray of water as you canter past the herds of giraffes, wildebeest, elephants and other possible game on the African plains for a truly exhilarating experience.

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}
