Immerse in Botswana’s wild heart on this 7-day adventure: 2 nights in Moremi Game Reserve–Khwai, 1 night Mababe, 1 night shore with a day trip to Elephant Havens, and 2 nights in the Okavango Delta. Travel in a 4×4 open safari vehicle, boat, and mokoro. Spot wildlife, cruise channels, and see ancient rock paintings in Savuti.
The high-density predator corridors of Khwai and the ancient, hidden rock art of Savuti serve as the stage for this 7-day high-impact wilderness odyssey.
Provided as a comprehensive "Delight" expedition, this journey transitions from the desert-fringe of Maun through the "Big Five" territories of Moremi and into the tranquil inner sanctum of the Okavango Delta.
You move from the educational discovery of orphaned elephant rehabilitation at Elephant Havens to an active immersion featuring 4x4 game drives, motorized boat cruises, and traditional mokoro poling, experiencing an environment where expert bush chefs and professional guides define the week's energy.
Because this is a highly exclusive "Small Group" circuit limited to just 6 participants, you should secure your 2026 departure early to ensure a spot for your definitive Botswana grand tour.
Expect a "spectacular," well-paced, and deeply "varied" immersion into the jewel of Africa. The transition from "rugged 4x4 tracking" to "silent mokoro gliding" is managed by a team noted for their culinary skills and ecological expertise, ensuring that even in the remote Mababe depression, you feel well-catered and safe. The environment is one of monumental biodiversity, where the re-introduction of Black and White Rhino makes this a true "Big Five" destination. Note that for 2026 comfort, this activity is not recommended for travelers with back problems.
Don't just look for lions; the vertical standard of the Savuti leg is the rock paintings, making it a necessity to ask your guide to point out these "rarely known" historic sites for a 10/10 cultural insight.
Focus on the trees; our agency finds that the giant Acacia tortillis (Camel Thorn) thickets are predator hotspots, and taking extra time in this area is a 2026 vertical necessity for spotting resting cheetahs.
Bring small bills; the transition to the rehabilitation center is a necessity for education, and knowing that your proceeds go directly back into caring for rescued calves provides a higher vertical standard of impact.
Keep cameras ready during the "dry season" (May–Oct); the transition through the Mababe depression is a necessity for seeing large herds of plains game gathered at the last water sources.
Confirm your Day 7 exit early; the 2026 morning logistics for "returning to Maun" allow for a 9:00 AM arrival via boat if you have a flight to catch—a survival necessity for a stress-free departure.
The water levels and predator visibility change throughout the 2026 season.
Yes—with the re-introduction of Rhinos, Moremi is now a "Big Five" destination, though sightings are subject to the wild's unpredictability.
You will stay in fully equipped tents for all 6 nights, including specific camps in Moremi, Mababe, and the Okavango Delta.
Most travelers can participate, but it is not recommended for those with back or heart problems due to the rugged terrain.
Yes—all breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are prepared by a professional bush chef.
Sun hat, binoculars, a light jacket (for morning drives), and a camera are 2026 vertical necessities for the full circuit.
