DETAILED ITINERARY:
(4 NIGHTS / 5 DAYS OKAVANGO AND CHOBE SAFARI )

Day 1 – Okavango Delta
On arrival at Maun Airport you will be met by a representative and transferred by shared light aircraft transfer to camp. Flying time is approximately 20 minutes.

Your time in Botswana will be spent game viewing in the beautiful and incomparable wilderness and surrounding areas of the Okavango Delta. Over 1100 species exist in the varied ecosystems, which comprise the Delta.  Wise use of natural resources is the watchword here and the delta is a treasure house to satisfy even the most ardent enthusiast.  Few people in this busy world are privileged enough to visit this inaccessible area and the abundance of wildlife and utter tranquility of the camps are proof enough of this.

Hidden from the world, deep within Botswana's Okavango Delta, is the paradise we call Eagle Island Camp. Situated on the island of Xaxaba and surrounded by Illala Palms, the camp overlooks a surrounding lagoon fed by the tranquil waterways of the Delta. The area offers exceptionally high quality wildlife viewing with prolific birdlife and mammal sightings. It is also the site of one of the most romantic bars in the world, the Fish Eagle Bar, as voted by the New York Times.  The camp offers a cool retreat from the African sun and is shaded by a canopy of indigenous trees.

Eagle Island Camp at Xaxaba is one of the Delta's most pristine natural locations, a region of myriad waterways, palm-treed islands and vast flood plains. During the months of April through October the camp offers a choice of game viewing by mokoro (traditional dugout canoe), motorised boat sundowner cruises in the surrounding lagoons.
When water levels are low (December through March), morning, afternoon and evening gamedrives are offered, offering guests the opportunity to further explore the surrounding islands. For the more intrepid, safari walks are offered all year around.  Also offered at Eagle Island are spectacular game-viewing flights over Botswana by private helicopter, based at Eagle Island Camp.
Accommodation: EAGLE ISLAND CAMP

Day 2 – Okavango Delta
Today you will have further opportunity to explore the surrounding areas either on foot, by dug out canoe (mokoro), or by motorboat.

The Okavango Delta is one of the world's largest inland water systems, the only inland delta of its kind and a unique oasis of life in the centre of the Kalahari Desert. It stretches over 16,000 square km and supports a staggering variety of animal, plant, fish and birdlife. The water was once thought to have reached the sea, but this is no longer the case. After a series of tectonic uplifts and earthquakes running along geological fault lines, the land at the edge of the Delta now lies lower than that of the surrounding area.
Hence the water very rarely flows further south than Maun. The Okavango Delta consists of a multitude of main channels, smaller tributaries and lagoons as well as floodplains, islands and mainland areas. The watercourses are constantly changing due to annual flooding as well as a combination of sediment transport, seismic activity, the construction of termite mounds, and the continual opening up of new channels by feeding hippopotami and the closing of others by new vegetation growth.

Day 3 – Chobe National Park
This morning, after a morning activity and breakfast, you will be transferred by shared light aircraft to the Savute region of the Chobe National Park, an area renowned for its high concentration of Elephant and dramatic eco system.  The time of departure from Eagle Island Camp will be advised locally.  Flying time is approximately 40 minutes. 
In the heart of the Chobe National Park, sometimes referred to, as the elephant capital of the world, is the Savute, an area that personifies the eternal contrast of Africa.  Savute is an objective lesson in aridity. Rain in this dry place is rare and water is precious.  You find yourself in harmony with a unique timeless place, removed from city life. In Savute, you realize that precious little has changed on these dry plains since time began. And the realization dawns that you are fortunate and privileged to be in one of the last corners of the planet governed by nature.
Accommodation: SAVUTE ELEPHANT CAMP
Fully Inclusive

Day 4 – Chobe National Park
Perched on the former banks of the now dry Savute Channel, Savute Elephant Camp offers a spectacular base to explore the area. With a birds' eye view of the adjacent water hole, just metres away from the camp's main building, the impressions created at Savute will last forever. The Savute is a dramatic area to see high concentrations of elephant and lions. Prides up to 40 strong are not uncommon as are sighting of all the other major predators; the endangered wild dog, leopard, cheetah and the hyena. Savute is also renowned for its excellent birding during the summer months (December through March), as well as being home to some very rare rock paintings drawn by the early Bushmen, who once inhabited the region
