From elephant country to salt-pan horizons

Travel one way from Kasane to Maun over six days, connecting Chobe’s riverfront, the Nata gateway to the Makgadikgadi salt pans and an Okavango wildlife experience. The listed accommodation is two nights at Tlou Safari Lodge, one at Nata Lodge and two at Sedia Hotel in Maun, or comparable properties confirmed before booking.

Chobe on land and water

Begin with a lodge stay near Chobe and a full day combining an early game drive with an afternoon river cruise. The arrival-day boat trip is optional, not included as a second guaranteed cruise. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.

Nata and the Delta gateway

Travel south to Nata and discover the salt-pan landscape around Nata Bird Sanctuary as conditions permit. Continue to Maun, then explore the Okavango or Moremi area on the confirmed guided programme. The exact excursion area, access and activity mix are agreed before travel; this does not promise entry to every park along the road.

US$3,300 per person sharing. This is a shared overland tour with up to six guests per vehicle. Solo travellers may join a confirmed departure, but a departure needs at least two participants overall. Minimum guest age 12.

Sedia Hotel is the listed overnight base for Days 4 and 5. The source programme also offers a rustic Delta camping alternative on Day 5; that option, its facilities, transfers and any price difference must be confirmed before booking. It is not a second hotel night plus a simultaneous camping stay. Scenic flights and other optional activities are available on request, with no optional prices displayed.

Itinerary

Day 1 – Kasane Arrival & Tlou Safari Lodge

Meet your transfer at Kasane Airport and settle into Tlou Safari Lodge or the confirmed equivalent. Enjoy lunch and time to relax near Chobe. An arrival-day river cruise may be arranged as an optional activity, depending on timing. Lunch, dinner and drinking water are included; breakfast and other drinks are not.

Day 2 – Chobe Game Drive & River Cruise

Start early with a game drive in Chobe, then return for breakfast and downtime. After lunch, take the included afternoon Chobe River cruise for another perspective on the wildlife and riverbanks. Spend your second night at Tlou Safari Lodge. All meals and drinking water are included.

Day 3 – Kasane to Nata & Salt-Pan Landscapes

Travel from Kasane to Nata, where the surrounding Makgadikgadi landscape contrasts with Chobe’s waterways. Explore the Nata Bird Sanctuary / salt-pan area as arranged, subject to weather and access. Bird numbers and wet-season water vary; flamingos are not guaranteed. Stay at Nata Lodge or the confirmed equivalent. All meals and drinking water are included.

Day 4 – Overland to Maun & Sedia Hotel

After breakfast, continue by road to Maun, allowing around four hours subject to road and stop conditions. Enjoy lunch on arrival and settle into Sedia Hotel or the confirmed equivalent. A scenic Delta flight is optional and available on request, not part of the included safari. All meals and drinking water are included.

Day 5 – Okavango / Moremi-Area Exploration

Leave Maun after an early breakfast for the confirmed guided Delta or Moremi-area excursion, with game viewing and meals arranged around the activity schedule. The listed accommodation is Sedia Hotel. If you prefer the alternative rustic Delta overnight camp described in the source programme, arrange it before booking so the exact site, facilities, transfers and price can be confirmed. These are alternative stays, not both included. All meals and drinking water are included.

Day 6 – Morning Bush Walk & Finish in Maun

Begin with tea or coffee and the guided morning walk arranged within your confirmed programme. The meeting point and timing depend on whether your final night was at Sedia or an agreed Delta camp. Enjoy breakfast, return to Maun and conclude after lunch with your airport drop-off. Coordinate flight timing in advance. Breakfast, lunch and drinking water are included; dinner is not. Optional extensions or Victoria Falls transfers are separate arrangements.
