Today you arrive in Maun – the heart of Botswana and the gateway to the legendary Okavango Delta. After landing, you will be warmly greeted by an English-speaking driver and taken to your hotel. Founded in 1915 as the capital of the Batawana people, Maun has since developed into a vibrant small town that blends modern life with authentic African charm. Situated on the southern edge of the delta, Maun is considered the most important starting point for safaris into one of the continent's most fascinating waterways. Here you can arrive in peace and quiet, acclimatize after your journey, and prepare yourself for the adventures ahead. Spend the afternoon as you wish – with a relaxing stroll through the small town, a refreshing sundowner, or simply in quiet anticipation of the safari experiences to come.

At 9 a.m. you will be greeted at the hotel by your German-speaking tour guide. Together with your group, you will begin the first leg of your journey: heading towards the Okavango Delta, where your great safari adventure begins. Your lodge on the edge of the delta welcomes you amidst pristine nature and expansive wetlands. The comfortable tented chalets, built on raised wooden decks, offer a pleasant coolness thanks to fans and large mosquito nets – and at the same time a true "Out of Africa" feeling. From your private terrace, you have a sweeping view across the lush green wetlands – an ideal spot to observe the first animals right from your room. In the afternoon, you'll set off on your first game drive. You'll travel in open safari vehicles into the wilderness, where, with a bit of luck, you might spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, or antelopes in their natural habitat. You might even discover a lion resting in the shade or a hippopotamus leisurely paddling in the stream. Back at the lodge, you end the day with a relaxing dinner, accompanied by the mysterious sounds of the African night. Welcome to the bush paradise!

Today you'll experience an unforgettable highlight in the Okavango Delta: a mokoro ride – a traditional dugout canoe that glides silently through the delta's reed-fringed waterways. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the complete tranquility as the water gently laps against the hull. Your experienced poler (steersman) will point out the fascinating flora and fauna along the way, offering you a deep insight into the delta's unique ecosystem. This traditional mode of transport allows for close-up wildlife observation – without disturbing the natural silence. After this peaceful excursion, you will return to the lodge for lunch and can then relax with a cool drink. In the afternoon you have a choice: Would you like to explore the wilderness on four wheels during an exciting game drive in an open 4x4 vehicle, or would you prefer a boat safari to experience the delta from a different perspective? Both activities promise impressive animal encounters – with a bit of luck, even elephants, crocodiles, or predators. You end the day with a traditional sundowner – a refreshing drink served amidst nature, as the sun slowly sinks below the horizon and the African evening bathes the landscape in golden light.

Today we continue our journey to a camp near the Moremi Game Reserve – one of the most fascinating regions of the Okavango Delta and a true hotspot for wildlife viewing. Even along the way, impressive views of the vast African landscape repeatedly unfold before us. With a bit of luck, we'll spot herds of elephants, antelopes, and other wild animals roaming freely and undisturbed in their natural habitat. Your camp is idyllically situated by a large waterhole, regularly visited by numerous animals – an ideal place to observe wildlife up close without ever having to leave the camp. Relax on the terrace and enjoy the spectacle of nature as elephants, antelopes, or perhaps even predators appear to drink or bathe. In the afternoon, we'll embark on a game drive in an open 4x4 vehicle, venturing even deeper into the wilderness. Here you'll have the opportunity to observe animals grazing, playing, or hunting – and perhaps we'll even encounter more members of the Big Five or witness a rare moment when a predator is on the hunt.

Today our journey takes us to the Moremi Game Reserve, one of the most renowned and wildlife-rich areas in the entire Okavango Delta. During a full-day game drive in an open 4x4 vehicle, we will immerse ourselves in the African wilderness and hope for impressive wildlife sightings and unforgettable moments. This area was once the most important hunting ground of the Batawana tribe before it was declared a protected area. Today, it is one of the best places in southern Africa to experience wildlife in its natural habitat. On our exploration, we encounter an impressive variety of animals: elephants majestically traversing the forests, hippos and buffalo bathing in the lagoons and channels of the delta, and lions roaming the vast savannah. With a bit of luck, we might even spot rare predators or observe unusual behaviors – perhaps even witnessing a thrilling hunt. In Moremi you experience the wilderness in its purest, untouched form – intense, close and completely authentic.

After our stay in the Moremi Game Reserve, we continue our journey north to the legendary Savuti section of Chobe National Park – an area renowned for its dramatic landscapes and exceptionally high density of predators. The vast plains, dotted with elegant acacia trees, provide ideal habitats for lions, leopards, and numerous other wild animals. Our game drives take us along the famous Savuti Channel, a true hotspot for predators and a paradise for wildlife observers. With a bit of luck, we'll witness thrilling moments: perhaps lions patiently lurking in the tall grass, or hyenas silently gliding across the savanna. Elephants, plains deer, and many other animals also frequently appear on our drives through this impressive, untamed region. In the evening, we reach our mobile tent camp, idyllically situated in the heart of the wilderness. After a delicious dinner under the sparkling African starry sky, we wind down the day in a relaxed atmosphere. And as we drift off to sleep, we might be accompanied by the distant roar of a lion or the distinctive cry of hyenas – a magical experience you'll never forget.

Today we'll dedicate ourselves entirely to the wildlife-rich Savuti region and spend the entire day on safari. Savuti reveals its most impressive side, especially during the dry season: the short, sun-scorched grass and sparse vegetation draw the animals to the few remaining waterholes – ideal conditions for exceptional wildlife viewing. The aridity lends the landscape a special drama. Everywhere, skeletal trees reach up into the deep blue sky, creating impressive scenes that captivate every photographer. When, in the late afternoon, the animals retreat into the shadows and the golden, reddish rays of the African sunset set the dust aglow, an atmosphere is created that is not easily forgotten. During our game drive, we not only search for large predators like lions and leopards, but also discover the diverse plains wildlife that brings Savuti to life. Especially at dusk, the wilderness reveals itself in its most beautiful form – pristine, powerful, and unforgettable.

Today's drive from Savuti to Kasane is far more than just a transfer – it's like another, varied safari. Along the way, we cross a wildlife-rich area teeming with numerous animals. We frequently stop to observe elephants, buffalo, and many other fascinating wild animals that call this region home. Every kilometer offers new impressions and exciting encounters. In the afternoon, we finally reach our lodge in Kasane. Here you can relax and end the day with a refreshing swim in the pool. As the sun slowly sets over the Chobe River, you'll enjoy a delicious dinner at the lodge and reflect on the day's experiences – full of anticipation for the adventures that still lie ahead.

It's an unforgettable moment as the animals wade leisurely through the river and the sky behind them slowly transforms into a spectacular display of colors.

Today we cross the border into Zimbabwe to experience one of the greatest natural wonders on Earth – the impressive Victoria Falls, also known as "Mosi-oa-Tunya," "the smoke that thunders." Majestic masses of water plunge into the depths here, creating a spectacle of thunderous sound and soaring spray. The falls are surrounded by a lush green rainforest, nourished by the moist spray. Rare plants thrive here, birds circle above the treetops, and the entire scene resembles a vibrant, tropical paradise. Gazing at the immense cascades of water, one feels the raw power of nature more intensely than in almost any other place on earth. For those who want to end the day in a special way, an optional dinner in a traditional restaurant is available in the evening – a place off the beaten tourist track where the flavors of Zimbabwe are served in extraordinary combinations.
