This Safari explores the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the Okavango Delta
Endeavour Mythical Safari
EXPLORE
Endeavour Mythical Safari
During this safari guests will stay in 2 very different parts of Botswana namely, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the Okavango Delta.
During this safari guests will stay in 2 very different parts of Botswana namely, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and the Okavango Delta. One will immediately see the difference between water wonder world of the lush Okavango Delta known for its perfectly located wildlife sanctuary and wonderful scenery and the arid desert areas of the Kalahari with its special desert adapted plants and wildlife. Both these areas are awe inspiring but for totally different reasons. Guests will spend most of their time camping in large safari tents with en-suite facilities.
The days will consist mainly of game viewing during the early mornings and late afternoons. During the heat of the day, guests will have time for rest and relaxation back at camp. During this safari, guests will also enjoy an authentic Bushmen experience, as the private area where they will be staying is in close proximity to a local Bushmen village. Known as the original people of Africa, many aspects of the Bushmen culture, such as sharing an intimate knowledge of the bush and relating their history through dance and storytelling, are shared with guests who embark on this tour.
Itinerary
Day 1
From Maun Airport where the safari starts, guests will be met by their safari guide and welcomed into Botswana.
Maun is a small town on the southern side of the Okavango Delta, utilized by many Tour Companies and Safari Operators as the starting point for various kinds of adventures. This afternoon guests will have the option of taking a scenic flight in a light aircraft over the Okavango delta (duration of the flight is approx. 1hour). In order to understand the geological aspect of the Delta as well as to see various species of game, this optional activity is highly recommended. Dinner will be at a Local Restaurant.
Day 2-4
Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Deception Valley
After breakfast and a short stop for any last-minute necessities, guests will depart Maun heading southwards to enter the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. The following 3 nights’ stay in the park will solve some of the mysteries surrounding life in this arid region. The Kalahari and its adapted game and vegetation have succeeded in surviving the elements and their story is plain for those who wish to understand.
Predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena occur here as well as water independent antelope, such as Oryx and Springbok. The combination of Kalahari and Okavango on one safari will clearly illustrate the difference water makes to an area. The Kalahari is one of the remotest and most unspoilt areas of Africa, with a size of 52800kmsq
Day 5-6
Central Kalahari Private Concession, Western Area
Today, guests head westerly into a private concession bordering the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. During these next 2 days, guests will be privileged to observe the Bushman’s current lifestyle and their intimate ancestral knowledge. Guests will further experience their hunting methods, be shown how they make traditional fire and have a chance to join them on a food gathering experience. See their amazing skills of ‘reading’ the signs of the veld and understand more about the reason for their survival for so many centuries in a seemingly hostile environment. See how even the youngest ones knows how to distinguish between the myriad of tracks in the sand, telling about every animal’s exact behaviour. This second evening, guests will be entertained by the Bushman’s traditional song and dance before enjoying their dinner.
Day 7
Maun
After an early breakfast, guest return to Maun for 1 night stay after a big return journey out of the Kalahari. Afternoon at leisure around the swimming pool or just reading a book. Relaxed evening followed by dinner.
Day 8
Okavango Delta, Moremi Area
Guests will have short opportunity to purchase any final things, before departing Maun to Moremi Area situated in the eastern part of the Okavango Delta. This game reserve is ideally situated for a wildlife sanctuary. It has no fences, hence allowing unobstructed seasonal movement of game which makes this a largely natural area. This is a paradise for birds, game and predators alike. Completely varied vegetation makes this area very special. Within an hours’ travelling it is possible to view the first of the wildlife inhabiting this area. The guide will stop en-route for a simple lunch of sandwiches and fruit before continuing towards the camp. Late afternoon arrival at the camp with enough time to settle in before having the evening meal. Afterwards the guests will relax around the campfire, where their guide will explain some detail regarding their new area. There are a number of new animal and bird species that will be on the priority list for the coming days.
Day 9-10
Okavango Delta, Moremi Area
Guests will explore the Okavango Delta area intimately with the days consisting of early morning and late afternoon game drives in search of various predators (such as lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, hyena), antelope (such as impala, lechwe, reedbuck, tsessebe) and other game such as giraffe, zebra and also the birds that inhabit this area. Hippopotamuses are abundant in the streams and lagoons that make up vast areas of the Delta. Upon return to the campsite around late morning, a delicious brunch will be served. Thereafter guests will have time to relax in or around camp. This region is sure to provide many unforgettable game viewing experiences.
Day 11
After an early breakfast, guests have their final game drive en route to Maun from where they depart for Johannesburg to connect with their outbound international flights or continuation of their tour.
