7-Days Botswana Fly in Safari

You will leave Maun Airport for the 30-minute light aircraft ride to Xugana Island Lodge. As soon as you arrive, you can start exploring the rivers by mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe, or motorboat to take in the incredible variety of bird, plant, and reptile species the area has to offer.

Get up and shine! It’s time to go on an adventure in the Okavango Delta. A modest continental meal and a three- to four-hour morning activity can be enjoyed after an early morning wakeup call. After brunch is finished, you’ll have time to unwind and enjoy your surroundings. Your afternoon activity will be followed by afternoon tea, which will be served outside on the terrace. You’ll get back to the lodge in time to get ready and have dinner.

Leave your lodge and fly in a light aircraft for a 30-minute transfer to the following safari lodge. It will take about 25 minutes to drive to the lodge from the airfield. Many excursions include a stop to the Savute Marsh so that you may observe the Savute Channel’s historic presence there against the backdrop of a plethora of species. A trip to the historic San rock art in Gubatsa Hills, a little steep outcrop that stands out in the otherwise flat area, is also a treat.

Once you’ve awoken to the sound of birds, head to the dining room for a quick continental breakfast before embarking on a 3- to 4-hour morning game drive. After brunch is served upon your return, you’ll have time to unwind and take in your surroundings. Your afternoon activity will be followed by afternoon tea, which will be served outside on the terrace. You’ll get back to the lodge in time to get ready and have dinner.

You reach the conclusion of your expedition today. After eating breakfast at the inn, you’ll board a light aircraft to travel from Savute to Kasane Airport in time for your next flight.
