Day 2 of the tour
After breakfast we travel north towards Namibia’s lush Caprivi Region.

We travel through the Kavango area, known for its rich selection of hand-made wooden crafts, to the western border of the Bwabwatwa Game Park.

Day 3 of the tour
In the morning we enjoy a game drive into the Mahango Game Park, home to rare animal species such as puku, lechwe, roan and sable, which in turn attract a large variety of predators such as lion, cheetah, leopard and even the highly endangered wild dog. Afterwards we travel east through the Bwabwatwa Game Park, previously known as the Caprivi Game Park. This elongated yet very narrow strip of land forms part of the age-old migration route of a variety of game species moving north from Botswana into Namibia. In the early afternoon we reach our lodge, nestled in the dense vegetation of the park along the Kwando River. Besides being the habitat for a huge variety of antelope, elephant, aquatic wildlife as well as predators, the area is renowned for being Southern Africa’s birding hotspot.  The rest of the day is spent at leisure, optional activities include boat cruises and game drives. (approximately 220km travel).
