DAY 3
Johannesburg/Maun, Botswana/Okavango Delta
After breakfast, board a flight to Maun. On arrival, transfer to one of the nearby villages of the Sixaxa community, where you meet its residents and learn about their daily lives and traditions. The villagers invite you into their homes, demonstrate food preparation and show you typical tools, clothing, musical instruments, medicine and handicrafts. After your informative visit, continue to Stanley's Camp, set in an amphitheatre of ebony and sausage trees on the southern tip of Chief's Island in the Moremi Game Reserve. This private concession is located in seasonal delta and is home to elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dog. The accommodations at Stanley's consist of classic styled safari tents raised on wooden decking with a private verandah. Activities include day and night game drives, bush walks and water safaris by mokoro (dug-out canoe). Dine tonight in the bush, followed by a marshmallow roast around the campfire.

DAY 4
Okavango Delta
You have a full day to engage in the numerous wildlife viewing opportunities the Okavango Delta has to offer. Bird watching is also excellent in this area. Local guides paddle you past reed beds tangled with bulrushes and water lilies where you may glimpse lechwe and the high-flying eagle. Go on early morning and late afternoon game drives in customized 4x4 vehicles; explore on foot in the company of skilled, armed professional guides; or look for game on a mokoro (dug-out canoe) safari (subject to water levels and weather conditions). Stanley's offers a unique interactive educational experience with a group of semi-habituated African elephant. Sit down to a leisurely picnic lunch under the shade of the sausage trees that overlook the lagoon while elephant playfully bathe among the water lilies. While at Stanley's you may choose to soar over the bush in a helicopter. (Note: the helicopter flight is an optional excursion not included in your tour cost. Please also note that this excursion must be booked while in camp and is subject to weather and other seasonal conditions. Please also note that the helicopter excursion is also available during your time at Chief's Camp, the next stop on your journey).

Game viewing in the Mombo area is nothing short of spectacular at any given time. This area is renowned for its large concentrations of elephant, buffalo, red lechwe, giraffe and impala. Ostrich, antelope, crocodile, wildebeest, kudu and hippo are all also common here, as are the predators that have earned the area the title of "predator capital" of Africa. Game drives are conducted in customized, open vehicles that offer an ideal viewing vantage point. (Note: The helicopter excursion available at Stanley's Camp is also available during your stay at Chief's Camp, subject to the same conditions).

DAY 9
Chobe/Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Depart Chobe and travel overland, crossing the border into Zimbabwe en route to breathtaking Victoria Falls and the world-famous Victoria Falls Hotel. For nearly 100 years the hotel has hosted visiting members of royal families, international and local statesmen, and celebrities worldwide. Late this afternoon glide lazily down the river on a sundowner cruise as you look for hippo, elephant or buffalo coming to drink at the water's edge. Sunset brings the day to a close - sometimes in a fiery departure and sometimes in a myriad of blended colors. This evening, join your fellow travellers for a special farewell dinner held in the famous Livingstone Room. (Note: The Victoria Falls Hotel has relaxed its long standing dress code for dining in the Livingstone Room, and smart casual wear is now considered the standard.)

DAY 10
Victoria Falls/Johannesburg, South Africa/Depart
Join your guide for a walking tour through the rainforest to Victoria Falls, one of the great natural wonders of the world. (Note: We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing and shoes for the walk and bring waterproof protection for your camera equipment). Keep a look out for the abundant bird life, bushbuck, monkey, baboon and mongoose that you are likely to spot along the way. It is the breathtaking falls that should prove to be the highlight of your day. Permanent rainbows crisscross the gorge during sunlight - and even during bright moonlight - producing images that are more like paintings than reality. Later, board a flight to Johannesburg, where you are assisted in collecting any stored luggage. The Premier Lounge is available for your use and offers a quiet place for relaxation in preparation for your international flight.
