11 700km. (4 500 square mile) reserve is located in the far north

Chobe is particularly well known for its large herds of
elephant and buffalo, as well as the two ante- lope that cannot be
encountered anywhere else in Botswana, the puku and Chobe bushbuck.
Chobe offers both dry savannah and oodplains. Dense teak woodland
provides thick cover in the north-eastern parts of the reserve.
Watching the elephant families drink and bathe in the river is an
un- forgettable sight, all the more impressive when herds of
buffalo, rafts of hippo and gigantic Nile croco- diles are part of
the scene. Lion and spotted hyena are frequently seen on the
oodplains, where red lechwe, puku, zebra, sable and roan come out
to graze. Well-used animal trails meander between ve ensuite safari
tents at Chobe Under Canvas, positioned at exclusive campsites in
the northern reaches of the park, within driving distance of the
Chobe River. Each canvas tent boasts a comfortable double bed, as
well as an ensuite bathroom with ush w.c and steaming hot bucket
shower, with water delivered on request. The guest areas comprise
spa- cious tents for dining, pre-dinner drinks. Delicious meals

After the morning game drive and breakfast a road transfer will
bring you to Kasane Airport for your light aircraft ight to San-
dibe, your rst camp in the Okavango Delta. A maze of sparkling
lagoons, meandering channels and over- grown islands teeming with
wildlife, Botswanas Okavango Delta lies like a sparkling jewel at
the heart of the Kalahari Desert. Known as the river that never nds
the sea, the Deltas crystal- clear channels spread over the
thirstlands of the Kalahari with their papyrus-fringed banks and
fertile oating islands. Adapted for a life in and out of water, the
elegant red lechwe and shy sita- tunga are found in this watery
wilderness. DAY 6,7: OKAVANGO DELTA 5
Lion, cheetah, leopard and African wild dog share the oodplains
with large herds of elephant and buffalo. Hippo inhabit the deeper
channels and lagoons, while honey badgers can be seen in broad
daylight. Tall termite mounds are homes for families of dwarf and
banded mongoose. Tucked away beneath a cool forest canopy of wild
palms and gnarled g trees, Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge looks out
onto the Delta through a maze of brilliant green papyrus. Situated
on a private concession, Sandibe has exclusive traversing rights
over 22 500 hectares (55 600 acres) of wildlife land adjacent to
the Moremi Game Reserve. Behind the lodge, golden-grasses oodplains
stretch into the distance, framed by lush palm islands and the
spires of giant termite mounds. The beautiful organic architecture
of the thatched lodge blends seamlessly with one of Africas most
breathtaking landscapes. Tread in the footprints of elephants on
ancient game paths that lead between the eight guest cot- tages.
Each thatched ensuite cottage features an open-air shower, allowing
guests to feel part of the forest. Walls are airy screens,
admitting the refreshing Okavango breezes, and the cottages are
fur- nished in a fusion of ochre and tactile textures, from leather
and silk to rough-hewn wood. Private decks are idyllic vantage
points onto a birdwatchers paradise. Tall overarching trees echo
the soar- ing roofs of the guest sitting and dining area, while
quiet decks offer views across the wetlands and savannah
grasslands. The shaded swimming pool is a refreshing oasis for a
cooling dip. At night a constellation of candles illuminates the
boma with its al fresco banquet and ne wines from the
charcoal-cooled cellar. Alternatively, private decks provide a
romantic setting for an intimate dinner for two. Enjoy 2 nights at
Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge including accommodation, three meals
daily, soft drinks, house wines, local brand spirits and beers,
teas and coffees, refreshments on game drives, laundry, safari
activities, 1-hour nature walks accom- panied by experienced armed
trackers (subject to availability), emergency medical evacuation
insur- ance, VAT, transfers to and from the lodge airstrip and park

After the morning game drive and breakfast a light aircraft
ight will bring you to your second camp in the Okavango Delta, Xar-
anna. Although Xaranna is also in the Okavango Delta, it will be a
different experience. Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp enjoys luxurious
solitude on its own Delta island within a 272 000 hectare (672 125
acre) exclu- sive wildlife concession. Taking its inspiration from
the water lily, Xaranna is a delightful camp with just nine sleep
ensuite safari tents that combine canvas and bleached timber. The

the gentle beauty of its environment. Each tent boasts a romantic
