Botswana delta and Chobe River birding in 8 days (7 nights)

8 days · Botswana · Maun → Kasane

A two-base birding trip that flies between camps. The first three nights are in the northern Okavango Delta, near the Moremi Game Reserve, with boat trips on the channels and drives on the drier woodland edge. A light-aircraft flight north to Kasane is followed by four nights on the Chobe River, split between boat trips along the river and floodplain and drives in Chobe National Park. With only one move, most of each day is spent birding with guides.
