Moremi Magic: Small Group

From Maun to Maun

Tour Overview

Experience magic in the heart of Botswana and dive into thrilling, handpicked safari that connect you deeply with nature and culture.

Your adventure starts by meeting your pilot and board a light aircraft for a breathtaking scenic flight over the Okavango Delta and Chief’s Island. From above, you'll witness the Delta's rich tapestry of winding waterways, lush floodplains, and scattered wildlife.

Touch down at a remote bush airstrip in the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve. From here, your safari begins in earnest with a game drive to your mobile camp in the Xakanaxa / Third Bridge area. Spend two nights immersed in nature, exploring the area by day on exciting game drives, with evenings spent under canvas and a sky full of stars.

Journey onward to the Khwai Community Concession and enjoy a scenic bush picnic en route. This region is famed for its abundant wildlife and predator sightings. Spend the next three nights in a private campsite in the Khwai area, with daily game drives and unforgettable encounters.

One of the highlights of your Khwai stay is a peaceful mokoro excursion—a 2.5-hour traditional dugout canoe experience that lets you glide silently through the Delta’s serene channels and lily-covered lagoons, guided by expert local polers. 

This is more than a safari—it's a journey into the wild heart of Botswana, where every sunrise brings new adventure and every sunset leaves you breathless. Come chase the horizon with us.

Day 1-2
Camping in Xakanaxa, Moremi Game Reserve & Okavango Delta

“Dumela / Hello! Welcome to Botswana!”

You'll experience a warm Botswana welcome when you land at Maun Airport. You will meet your pilot for your stunning light aircraft scenic flight over the Okavango Delta and Chief’s Island. This flight gives you a fish eagle’s eye view of this amazing ecosystem. When you land at your remote bush airstrip within the Moremi Game Reserve, your guide will provide you with a snack pack on arrival and will be waiting to transfer you to your mobile camp with a game drive en route. The friendly, attentive staff will help you feel immediately at home and brief you on what to look forward to on your safari. The magic of a mobile camp becomes apparent as the sun sets and you enjoy drinks around the fire before a starlit dinner and a great night’s rest after falling asleep to the sounds of the African bush.

Spending our first two nights camping in the Xakanaxa / Third Bridge area, we explore the surrounding wilderness on game drives during the day. The Moremi Game Reserve protects around a third of the entire Okavango Delta ecosystem – some 5 000km2 (1 930 square miles).

Day 3-5
Camping in Khwai, Moremi Game Reserve

Following an early breakfast, we pack up the camp and continue our journey to Khwai, stopping for a bush picnic lunch en route. The Khwai River forms the boundary between the reserve and the local Khwai Community Area. We spend the next three nights camping at a campsite in the Khwai area of Moremi Game Reserve. You will also experience a 2½-hour mokoro trip, discovering channels and lagoons at a relaxed pace in a traditional dug-out canoe.

Day 6
Safari ends in Maun

Following breakfast we head back to Maun where a picnic lunch will be served en-route. You will be dropped in Maun around noon – 1pm for your onwards arrangements.
