Botswana

The Trans-Okavango

PLAN MY TRIP

Traversing the world-famous Okavango from west to east by walking, boat rides, light aircraft, and even a helicopter ride, the Trans-Okavango journey provides thrills by day and luxurious and comfortable camps by night.

This exciting adventure is offered in July and requires a minimum of two people with a maximum of seven to start. Beginning and ending in Maun, the journey explores the waterways and savannas of the Delta for nine nights/ ten days. From Hunda Island, a prime game-viewing destination, the safari explores the crystal-clear channels of the Delta. Adventurers can experience the ultimate water safari as well as unique wildlife encounters at both Xigera and Pelo, and then the grand finale: exceptional game viewing at the land-based camps of Mombo and Chitabe.

Beginning in Maun, guests will board a flight to Hunda Island, located in the heart of the Delta. Tuba Tree Camp serves as home base for days one and two while guests go on morning and afternoon game drives exploring the island. Day three begins with a walk to the Tuba Boat station for boat and mokoro rides to Pelo Camp. A true water camp, there are plenty of aquatic adventures to choose from. Day five starts with a thrilling helicopter ride to Xigera in time for a game drive. Days six includes a boat ride after breakfast to Chief’s Island for a stay at Mombo Camp and a chance to explore an area teeming with plains game and predators. Day eight takes travelers to Chitabe Camp via light aircraft for two days discovering the classic Delta scenery and diverse wildlife before heading back to Maun on Day eleven.

While this journey will bring adventurers closer to nature, it does not mean they need to give up their creature comforts. It begins at Tuba Tree Camp for two nights, a traditional camp with tents connected by elevated platforms. These luxury tents include comfy beds and an en suite bathroom with an outdoor shower. The third night is at Pelo Camp on a heart-shaped island in the Jao Concession. Comfy tents with en suite bathrooms and private verandas are found here as well as a refreshing plunge pool.

Night five enjoys lodgings at Xigera Camp, pronounced Keejera which is nestled on the aptly named Paradise Island. The camp consists of luxury tents on raised platforms with en suite bathrooms featuring double sinks, flushing toilets, and outdoor showers, as well as a private viewing deck. Then night six and seven will enjoy the luxury of the premiere Mombo Camp. Finally, the last nights take in the splendor of Chitabe Camp and its Meru style tents on elevated wooden decks between acacia and mopane trees. The rates include the accommodations, all meals, a reasonable amount of soft drinks, water, house wine and beer, as well as local spirits such as gin and Amarula, national park fees, all scheduled activities, internal chartered flights, and transfers.
