Gold, head to Maun and catch a scenic flight into the heart of the Okavango
Delta. We spend a few days doing Mokoro (traditional dug out canoes) rides through
the winding channels and Nature Walks in this beautiful area. Then it's off

Day 3/4 Okavango Delta
During our time in the Delta we enjoy the best nature has to offer. We go on
nature walks and if possible will explore the Delta by mokoro. The Delta is
the world’s largest inland delta. The rivers leading to the Okavango Delta
have no passage to the ocean and irrigate instead some 15,000 square km’s
of Kalahari Desert. This is a truly spectacular and unforgettable experience
where wild animals are not familiar with people. We travel into the Delta on
a large 4x4 vehicle - in high water season boats will be used. We join up with
some of the local people and set up our bush camp for the next 2 nights.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 5 Gweta
We leave the Delta behind us and travel east to Planet Baobab, which is located
halfway between Maun and Nata, near the Makgadikgadi Pans. You can explore the
bush around our campsite and view some of the oldest Baobab trees in the area.
