Botswana Budget Safaris

Best 2 night Okavango Safari from Maun with Elephant visit and scenic Helicopter flight included
USD 870.00 per person sharing

Day 1
Your guide will pick up from the airport (or anywhere in
Maun) in the early afternoon.
At 3pm we set off towards the Okavango Delta, stopping off en-route at
"Elephant Havens", a wildlife foundation that runs an Elephant orphanage
and reintroduction program.
After a 1 hour tour at the orphanage we continue on our way arriving at
"Lazy River" your Okavango base camp.
Our guide will show you around and take you to your tented
accommodation, riverside meru tents with beds and each with its own
bathroom.
We have a mini-bar available in the main area from which you may help
yourselves to beverages and enjoy the sunset over the hippo lagoon.
Shortly after sunset a 3 course fire cooked dinner will served in the
dining area.
Day 2
At daybreak we will deliver hot water, coffee and tea to the veranda in
front of your tent and give you a wakeup call to get ready for an early
breakfast.
We depart on the safari vehicle around sunrise for a half hour drive to
the "Buffalo" fence and then a further 1 hour game viewing drive to
Ditshipi where we find a mokoro starting point well within the delta.
At the mokoro "station" we meet the team of "polers" who take you and
your guide for a 6 hour combination of being on the water and going on a
game walk.
When arriving back from your walk your guide will set out a sumptuous
picnic lunch before heading back on the mokoro to your waiting safari
vehicle.
Water levels permitting we will try to use a different route for your
game drive back to camp for a shower, sun downers and dinner.
Day 3
We start your third day at a more leisurely pace with your warm beverage
being delivered to your tent at sunrise with breakfast served any time
before 8am.
Your guide will then walk you to the pick up point (between 8am and 9am
depending on the time of year) for your helicopter flight back to Maun.
The helicopter flight to Maun includes a further 20 minute scenic flight
over the Okavango to give you another amazing perspective of the watery
paradise that you experienced the previous day.
