Chobe, Khwai, Okavango and Makgadikgadi family safari in 11 days (10 nights)

11 days · Botswana · Kasane → Maun

Four different areas linked by short light-aircraft flights. The trip starts from Kasane with two nights in Chobe for river boat trips among elephant herds, then flies to the Khwai community concession for three nights, where off-road and night driving are allowed. Three nights in an Okavango Delta camp add mokoro trips, island walks and game drives. The last two nights are on the Makgadikgadi pans, reached by flight and overland transfer, for meerkats and walks with San guides.
