Day 01 Arrive SavutiYour journey starts this morning in Kasane, when you meet your group and guide, and depart on a boat cruise on the Chobe River. Following the cruise, you head off into the interior by car, as your safari takes you to Savuti. While there are community areas that you pass through that are settled by local tribes, the major part of the day’s drive passes through wild country where wildlife moves freely.
Accommodation: Letaka Tented Camp - Savuti

Day 02 & 03 SavutiUnlike the
vast majority of the country, Savuti is not a totally flat landscape. Large
outcrops of volcanic rock reach up out of the Kalahari sands, towering over the
endless savannah. You will explore this region for the next 2 days, with these
hills providing habitat for a completely different array of small wildlife,
birds and plants. You will also have the opportunity to strike out on walks to
see Bushman paintings.

Day 04 Savuti ~ Okavango Delta: KhwaiLeaving the Savuti, you will journey south for most of the day to the Khwai Community Area through the Paleo-Lake Makgadikgadi and crossing the Magwikwe Sand-ridge that formed the shoreline for this massive inland sea. The area teams with game after the rains. You will spend the next 3 nights at your new Letaka Tented Camp location in the Khwai area, fully inclusive. As you are outside the Moremi Reserve, you will be able to enjoy a night game drive.
