Day 1 Johannesburg/ Okavango Delta
Arrive at Johannesburg International Airport where you will be met by our representative and assisted with check in formalities for your flight to Maun Airport in Botswana. At Maun Airport, you will clear customs and collect your luggage.
An air charter company representative will meet you in the Arrivals Halls, and accompany you to the light aircraft for your 45 minute flight into Kadizora Camp, across the Okavango Delta.
Nestled beneath a majestic stand of trees and along a peninsula, with uninterrupted panoramic views of the Delta, the Camp has been set out to afford each of the luxury tents, complete privacy.
Days 2 and 3 Okavango Delta
Activities at Kadizora Camp include morning mekoro trips (dugout canoes) with island walks, and afternoon game drives. Fishing is offered on request and in season. Boat activities are also offered between April and October. There is the option to arrange a day trip to a traditional village. Visit the church, the clinic, local Primary school and meet family members of the camp staff.
This part of the Okavango Delta is home to mammals such as: lion, cheetah, leopard, wild dog, elephant, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, hyena, zebra, kudu, impala and many more. This aquatic region is also home to various bird, insect, fish and plant species - making it a safari paradise.
For an additional cost if staying in a standard tent, a hot air balloon safari can be arranged from Kadizora Camp – a magical way of experiencing this truly beautiful part of Africa. (April – September). The balloon safari is included for those guests staying in the Luxury Tents.
Day 4 Chobe River
After your morning activity and brunch, you will be chartered from Kadizora Camp to Kasane Airport (70 minutes), where a Chobe Princess Houseboat representative will meet you and assist you with the border crossing by boat, into the Namibian waters of the Chobe River.
As one boards the Chobe Princess, you will enter the accommodation deck, which offers 4 double cabins for guests. Each spacious cabin can be configured as a twin or double room, and has en-suite facilities, with sliding windows opening on to the water. Windows are spanned by transparent mosquito screens. Electricity (220V and 12V) is supplied to each bedroom, ensuring the use of shavers, hairdryers and lights. Cupboards are provided.
Day 5 Chobe River
The days are entirely yours and you are free to spend it as you like. You can laze around the sun deck just watching the constant coming and goings of the wildlife and birds around you. You can take a tender boat with a guide and go looking for up close and personal sightings of the game and get extraordinary photo opportunities. Or you can go off fishing to try and catch (and then release) the elusive Tiger fish.
Generally breakfast is served at 08h30 and lunch at 13h00 but the boat is very flexible so if you would like to re-arrange these times to suit you better you would just need to let the Managers know at dinner the night before (i.e. if you want to get up really early and then come back for brunch at 10h30 or 11h00 this would be perfectly fine with them).
Activities include:
Game Viewing: by boat into the Chobe National Park, where huge herds of elephants come down to drink, together with all manner of other game such as buffalo, giraffe, leopard, lion, kudu, waterbuck, lechwe, etc. Evening cruises offer the sublime Chobe sunset.
Bird-watching: a year round pleasure, with over 400 recorded species, including both water and woodland birds.
Fishing: the excellent guides have success in landing Tigerfish, especially when fly-fishing. Other species include Tilapia, Largemouth bream, Catfish and Squeakers. The boat has access to over 30km of Chobe River, over 120km of Zambezi River, as well as kilometres of waterways in the Kasai and Indibe wetlands. Each offers a different fishing experience. Guests have access to quality boats with large motors, including a jet boat for the rapids and rocky areas. The major fishing attraction is Tigerfish. Traditionally the best time for Tigerfish will be from September to February, with a window period during June. Bream are also caught and Barbel too, and fishing is done from the banks and rocks in the rapids. All guests are allocated a guide and boat upon arrival.
Day 6: Kasane Airport
After breakfast, you will transfer by tender boat from the Chobe Princess Safariboat at 09h00 to the customs office on Impalila Island to exit out of Namibia. From there you will again cross the Chobe River to enter into Botswana at the Kasane immigration. You will be met here by your Guide, who will transfer you to Kasane Airport (10 minutes), in time to check in for your return flight to Johannesburg International Airport.
