In the core of the Okavango Delta’s incredible wetlands, lies Eagle Island Camp. Further east, hidden on the banks of the Delta, is Khawi River Lodge - a perfect hideout with extensive views of the floodplain. In the north, on the cracked earth of the Kalahari Sandveld’s dry Savute Channel, lies Savute Elephant Camp. Orient-Express Safaris offers a variety of experiences.

Hands-on Eco Edu-Wise experiences instill visitors with first hand knowledge of the bush and the art of tracking. Day 1 Saturday - Johannesburg Arrive into Johannesburg where you

Day 2-7 Sunday-Friday - Johannesburg/Botswana Your exciting Botswana safari begins today as you fly northwest across the Kalahari Desert to Maun, gateway to the unspoiled Okavango Delta. This unique eco-system supports the largest concentration of elephant and buffalo found in Africa. It is home to the legendary prides of the Kalahari lion, rare species such as sitatunga and wild dog, and its bird life has become nearly as well know as its bushmen and their ancient ways. During your stay you will be accommodated at three different luxury camps, offering personal service, ice cold drinks, the finest “bush” cuisine and stories spun around an evening campfire while listening to the nocturnal sounds of the bush. Days are filled with wildlife viewing activities in open four-wheel drive vehicles, on foot, in the traditional mokoro and by air.
