This package is designed to give you the best African Bush Experience!

About me! I am known as Suki by everyone. I was fortunate to grow up in and around National Parks in South Africa. From there my love for nature, and animals, gaining as much knowledge as possible about our continent meeting people from all avenues. I absolutely love driving endless hours exploring and for this reason, I joined Overlanding and have been traveling extensively throughout Southern and East Africa. I would like to share my knowledge and experience with like-minded people that enjoy traveling!

Details about the accommodation: We will spend the majority of the nights in lodge/hotel rooms, as I find this the best way to experience an African safari and some of our nights will be spent in safari tents with single beds or stretcher beds when were out exploring the African bush. I know well how rewarding it is to just plump down on a bed and have a long, hot shower after spending time in the bush. Ready for the adventure? Join me now! Leave a message in the Q&A section for further information you might need about the trip!

Get up bright and early, as today will be a long drive day (approximately 6-7 hours) full of surprises.

Okavango Delta

Day 6-7
Today we embark on a truly wild bush camping experience led by local polars on mokoros (canoes). We will start with 4x4 drive of approximately 2 hours, then enjoy the splendor and bush sounds while being maneuvered through the lush and peaceful waterways of the Okavango Delta on dug-out canoes. End up at a remote island where we'll spend 1 night listening to old tales from the locals and the unforgettable night sound of the African bush. You will have a chance to swim in the infamous Okavango under the watchful eye of our polars as well as enjoy an early sunrise walk exploring and searching for wildlife.

Moremi Game Reserve

Day 7-8
After our morning walk and a hearty breakfast, we set out on the mokoros back to the polar station, where we'll be picked up once again by 4X4 vehicles that will drive us into Moremi National Park where we'll spend the afternoon viewing wildlife en route to our stopover for the night. This untouched world will engulf your senses. Spanning over 5000 kilometers, this vast protected area is home to an incredible variety of wildlife, including cheetah, tsessebe, lechwe and one of the largest packs of wild dogs and much more!
