Days 3-4: Johannesburg/Maun, Botswana/Okavango Delta
Spend two full days at Stanley's Camp, a small luxurious camp hidden away under a canopy of ebony and sausage trees on the southern tip of Chief 's Island. Activities range from rides in a dugout canoe called a mokoro (seasonal), night game drives and bush walks, which provide endless wildlife viewing options. Sightings of the rare and elusive wild dog and some of the best game viewing in the Okavango Delta make Stanley's Camp a prime destination. A unique feature of Stanley's is an educational experience with a group of semi-habituated African elephant. The vast African sky and the beauty of the Delta provide a breathtaking setting as you enjoy a leisurely picnic under the shade of the sausage trees. Your picnic site overlooks a lagoon where elephant sometimes playfully bathe among the water lilies.
