Days 1-2 of the tour
Upon arrival at Maun Airport you will be met by a company representative who will assist you to your charter plane for a (20 minute) flight to Delta Camp. Situated on the South-Western edge of Chief’s Island in the heart of the Okavango Delta is Delta Camp - set in the forest of a large, beautiful palm-studded island. The Okavango Delta with its crystal-clear channels, lagoons, sweeping floodplains and countless islands, is home to over 450 bird species, a spectacular array of plant species and full spectrum of African game - the Okavango has earned its reputation as one of the world’s premier wilderness areas. The focus is one of peace and tranquillity (stalking game on foot provides all the excitement one could wish for) and guests are actively encouraged to visit a local village, home to the guides, and interact with the people there.

Dine in the elegant Dining Room overlooking the sweep of the Delta viewing the surrounding flood-plains and the wildlife that abounds. Another option is to take a beautifully prepared picnic onto on of the many nearby islands for a secluded and intimate experience. The choice of fresh vegetables, cheeses, excellent meats and fine wines flown in daily and lovingly prepared, maintain the camp’s enviable reputation for cuisine. Accommodation is for only 16 guests in spacious ‘lethaka’ (reed) chalets with en-suite facilities. Built of natural materials and elevated off the forest floor, each chalet has hot and cold running water, a shower with a view, and solar-powered electric lighting. The amazing design of the chalets is such that you enjoy the luxuries of a ‘top rate’ hotel, but without affecting the environment; you will find you share your chalet with the trees, while taking full advantage of the views of the surrounding bush and flood-plains.

Delta Camp adheres to a philosophy that guests may enjoy the “luxury” of their own private guide at no extra cost. The guides are truly “locals” this is a man of the swamp, born and raised in the area, and you will spend your days in his mokoro (dugout canoe) and walking on the many islands in the area, taking in the magnificent scenery and light, and the abundant game and birdlife of the Okavango.

Overnight:     Delta Camp - South-Western Okavango Delta (Lunch, Dinner, Bed & Breakfast)

Days 5-6 of the tour
After the morning game viewing activities you will again board your charter plane for a flight (1 hour 20 minutes) to Kasane. On arrival in Kasane you will be collected and then transferred to Muchenje Safari Lodge. Muchenje offers unparalleled African Safari experiences for both discerning clientele, and newcomers alike. Owner run and managed they take pride in making every client feel welcome and at home, tailoring your stay to suit your requirements. Guests arrive as part of the crowd and reluctantly leave as part of the family. Attention to detail is paramount with nothing being too much trouble at Muchenje. Situated away from the masses on the Western side of the Chobe National Park you will be offered a unique and prolific game experience.

The central lodge has stunning panoramic views of the Caprivi Flood Plains and overlooks its own water-hole which is frequented by all species of game. Guests dine together at long sleeper dining tables and recount their day’s experiences. The main lodge includes a dining area, bar, reception, shop, game viewing platform and library. A feature swimming pool is built into the escarpment edge with a rock waterfall. Eleven thatched en-suite chalets are built out of natural stone, each with its own unique view out over the Caprivi.

The daily routine depends on individual guest’s requirements. There are sometimes three meals a day or an early light continental breakfast followed by brunch and afternoon tea, followed by dinner. The guides are professionals and will make sure your safari is an adventure of a lifetime without any compromise on your safety. They have a natural love and appreciation of the bush, which is obvious in their work.

Muchenje Safari Lodge offers the widest range of wilderness experiences to be found in the Chobe National Park and some unique to Botswana.
