Duration
8-Day
Chobe National Park, Botswana
Victoria Falls to the Okavango Delta is one of the best safari tours. The Okavango Delta is one of the world's largest inland water systems. Its headwaters start in Angola's Western highlands, with numerous tributaries joining to form the Cubango River. It then flows through Namibia (called the Kavango) and finally enters Botswana, where it is called the Okavango. Millions of years ago, the Okavango River used to flow into a large inland lake called Lake Makgadikgadi (now Makgadikgadi Pans).

Day 1
Upon arrival, Fuhara Safaris representatives will welcome you and transfer you to your hotel to relax and refresh. Later, afternoon, you will embark on a tranquil sunset cruise along the majestic Zambezi River. As the boat glides over calm, golden waters, the setting sun paints the sky in shades of amber and rose, reflected perfectly on the river’s surface. Hippos laze in the shallows, elephants drink along the banks, and birds drift gracefully across the horizon. Enjoy snacks, soft drinks, wines, beers, and spirits as you soak in the scenery.

Your guide will meet you after breakfast for a two-hour guided tour of Victoria Falls. The tour will take you past the majestic baobab tree and along the river, culminating at the open curio market for a chance to browse local crafts. Afterwards, enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure, with optional activities available to explore at your own pace.

Watch elephants, buffalo, and other wildlife gather at the riverbanks for their final drink of the day, while the setting sun casts a golden glow across the water.

Day 5
Elephant Sands is a bush lodge and campsite in the northeastern part of Botswana, and it's 250 km from Chobe or Kasane. Enjoy viewing the elephants at a natural waterhole right in front of the lodge. Watch these impressive creatures whilst they drink only a couple of meters away from you, a unique experience. Mid-range tented camp located at Elephant Sands (Botswana) Breakfast & dinner (Lunch not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 6
Glide silently in a mokoro through lily-strewn lagoons, where hippos bubble and splash, and crocodiles lie barely visible beneath the water’s glassy surface. Drift along winding channels by boat, the sunlight dancing across ripples and illuminating small birds and dragonflies flitting over the water. Step onto nearby islands for guided walks, listening to the calls of exotic birds and the rustle of wildlife in the reeds. Lions lounge in the shade, elephants trumpet in the distance, and giraffes move gracefully through the tall grasses. Inside Okavango Delta (Botswana) All meals included Drinks not included
Day 7
You will have an early morning delta safari walk before breakfast, you will then explore the Okavango by mokoro (a traditional dug-out canoe) going back to the hotel in Maun. We recommend an optional afternoon scenic helicopter lasting approximately 45 minutes. As you lift off, the delta unfolds beneath you like a sprawling emerald tapestry.
