An early rise sees you on your way to Etosha National Park, home to over 340 bird, 110 reptile and 100 mammal species including close to 3 000 elephant and one of the biggest populations of black rhino in Africa.

| Days 7 - 9: Botswana - Okavango Delta |

Your journey takes you through the border into Botswana and on to Maun. You arrive in the afternoon, leave the truck behind, board the planes, and fly over the Delta. After a wonderful scenic flight you arrive at your base for the next 3 days. The Okavango is the largest inland delta in the world. Its crystal clear waters and countless islands are home to an amazing variety of animals and the area is a birder's paradise.
During your time in the delta you will go on a guided nature walk and a mokoro (traditional dug out canoe) ride with the local people. On your last day you visit a local village to experience delta culture first hand. The Okavango is truly spectacular and an unforgettable experience. |
