Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 & 2: Thorntree Lodge, Livingstone, Zambia

Upon the guests’ arrival into Livingstone Airport, they will be met and transferred to Thorntree Lodge where they will stay for 2 nights.

Situated on the Zambian bank of the Zambezi River, within the renowned Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park and just 15 kilometres upstream from the spectacular Victoria Falls lies the secluded Thorntree Lodge.

With 6 twin rooms and 2 honeymoon suites, Thorntree Lodge offers its guests a unique and personal African experience all year round. Each accommodation unit has its own en-suite facilities and all are beautifully appointed. The lodge blends naturally into the riverine vegetation and commands superb river views from its main deck and private verandas.

Thorntree Lodge's riverside location and its unique position within the National Park allows for a wide choice of activities, including sunset cruises, game-drives, cultural tours, fishing and of course visits to the Falls themselves.

Day 3 & 4: Elephant Valley Lodge, Chobe Forest Reserve

Following breakfast, the guests will be transferred by road and boat to Elephant Valley Lodge in Chobe (approximately a 2 hour transfer), where they will stay for 2 nights.

Elephant Valley Lodge lies hidden in the bordering valley between Botswana and Zimbabwe, only a few kilometres outside Kasane. The Lodge is situated in the Lesoma Valley which lies in the heart of the Kasane Forest Reserve. The reserve is adjacent to the Chobe National Park.

The lodge offers 20 Meru-style safari tents, all with their private ensuite bathrooms. The public areas consist of a bar and a dining room as well as a beautiful terrace towards the waterhole.

Activities include game drives into Chobe National Park, boat cruises on the Chobe river and night drives in the Chobe Forest Reserve. A large waterhole in front of the lodge guarantees for regular visits of herds of Elephants.

Day 5 & 6: Kwara Camp, bordering Moremi Game Reserve

Following the morning activity (time permitting), guests will be transferred to Kasane airport for their onward air transfer to Kwara, followed by a road transfer / game drive en route to Kwara Camp.

Kwara Camp is situated in a private concession on the edge of the permanent waters of the world renowned Okavango Delta in Botswana, and shares a common boundary with Moremi Game Reserve. The area offers a combination of permanent water, seasonal flood plains and pans, open grasslands as well as extensive dry bush and scrub which creates a great game viewing destination throughout the year.

The eight luxury safari-style tents are built on raised decks, within a grove of huge and ancient African Ebony trees. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with the luxury of a bath and indoor/outdoor shower and a private deck with views across the floodplain. There is a lounge, bar and dining area in the central lodge as well as a plunge pool and gift shop. Evenings can be enjoyed around the boma area.

Kwara is renowned for being a camp that offers a year round delta experience on a diverse range of activities including mokoro excursions, guided walks with armed guides and motorboat trips through the waterways. In addition day and night game drives are taken to explore the area which offers spectacular scenery with scattered herds of plains game and ever-attendant predators.

Please note that Kwando Safaris game drive vehicles do not have an overhead canopy. Kwando Safaris believe this is to their client’s advantage for optimal photographic and game viewing opportunities. This may not be suitable for some clients due to exposure to the elements.

Day 7 & 8: Pom Pom Camp, Okavango Delta

After an early morning activity and breakfast, guests will be transferred to Pom Pom Camp by light aircraft, where they will stay for 2 nights.

Pom Pom is located in the heart of the Okavango Delta in a private concession to the west of the Moremi Game Reserve. The camp offers 9 traditional Meru safari tents, built and designed in the style of safari camps of old. The large walk-in tents have en suite showers and flush toilets. The bathrooms are enclosed, but roofless - for a true bush experience.

The camp has been recently renovated and offers a beautiful dining room and bar around the picturesque lagoon. Pom Pom Camp also has a nicely sized plunge pool to help guests escape the midday heat. Pom Pom offers game drives, night drives, walking safaris and mokoro excursions.

All the big predators, and Buffalo, Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest can be seen. If you are lucky, some of the nocturnal animals such as Serval, Civet and Genet may be seen on night drives. Hippo and Crocodile are found in the deeper lagoons in the area. Birding enthusiasts will enjoy sighting Pells Fishing Owl, African Fish Eagle, Giant Eagle Owl and White Backed Vultures.

Day 9 & 10: Meno-A-Kwena Tented Camp, Makgadikgadi/Boteti

Following the morning activity, the guests will be transferred to Maun by air and onward to Meno-A-Kwena by road (approximately 1.5 hours drive from Maun).

Meno A Kwena, meaning “tooth of the crocodile”, borders Makgadikgadi National Park in close proximity to Nxai Pan National Park. The camp is situated on tribal land and has been built on a cliff edge overlooking the Boteti River, which is now flowing again for the first time in almost 15 years.

Meno A Kwena offers seven meru-style safari tents, simply furnished with comfortable bedding and hanging space. Separate to each tent are private open air bathrooms with a traditional bucket shower (filled with piping hot water for daily showers) and a flush toilet. Each tent features a private sitting area, which offers a beautiful view over the river. The main lodge has a dining area, bar and lounge with small library. A covered seating area at the edge of the escarpment is popular, providing guests with a breathtaking view over a waterhole that attracts many zebra and wildebeest herds during the migration months (June to November). There is a small plunge pool built with natural rocks and a game viewing hide which offers a close yet safe view across the waterhole.

Activities at Meno A Kwena include walking trips and cultural activities with a local community guide. 4WD safaris are also available, varying from short trips to the nearby Ngandi Community Trust Area to full-day safaris with a picnic into Makgadikgadi National Park or Nxai Pan National Park. Meno A Kwena’s informal atmosphere makes for a very relaxing stay after the hectic round of activities at many camps.

Day 11: Safari Ends in Maun

Following the morning activity, the guests will be transferred to Maun by road, for their onward travel arrangements.
