Steenbok Trail Safari - 7 Nights / 8 Days

8 days (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Year after year, Moremi Game Reserve, Khwai Concession and Savuti welcomes visitors from all corners of the world, some who are curious, some who have heard of the wonders of these wildlife areas from far away. There is a marvellous feeling of anticipation, the thrill of a new world of nature and wildlife about to be unfolded, of having arrived in paradise.

This comfortable non-participation private camping safari allows guests to relax without being involved in camp duties. Accompanied by a guide, chef, and a camp assistant, all your needs will be catered for.

Accommodation is provided in dome tents (measuring 2.4 meters by 2.4 meters), or meru canvas camping safari tents featuring basic en-suite facilities – including bucket shower, basin and toilet. However, the toilet is often not of the flush type – instead it is a drop toilet (consisting of a hole in the ground with a basic seat above it).

You will be treated to three meals daily, skilfully prepared by the camp chef.

    Moremi Game Reserve

    You’ll arrive in Maun, where you will be met by your guide to start your safari. The safari departs from Maun, passing through the village of Shorobe, heading for Moremi Game Reserve where we will be camping for 2 nights. The drive to Moremi normally takes just under two hours, provided the drive has not been delayed by game spotting on the way. The game drive technically starts once we have passed the Buffalo fence, an hour’s drive from Maun. Upon arrival at your designated camping ground in Moremi, you will find your camp ready with tents erected. Time to relax and stretch your legs, enjoy a leisurely lunch followed by a relaxation period during which the guide will deliver a short briefing about Moremi Game Reserve and other information regarding the safari, before heading out for an afternoon game drive through the beautiful scenery of this part of Moremi.

    An early morning wake up call for tea or coffee with breakfast cereals and nibbles prepares one for the early morning game drive. Leaving camp just after sunrise, we will proceed through the beautiful scenery of the Moremi Game Reserve. Our game drives will be focused in and around Black Pools and Xini Area. These areas are in the south western part of Moremi. There is plenty of game in these areas with a very good chance of seeing elephant, buffalo, rhino, giraffe, lion, leopard, hyena, jackal, and many different antelopes, including red lechwe and sitatunga, the web-footed antelope perfectly adapted to life in the swamps, as well as a wide variety of birdlife. Wild dog whose numbers are so rapidly dwindling elsewhere, are regularly sighted in the Moremi Game Reserve. Return to camp for brunch and a siesta before heading out for a late afternoon game drive. A late afternoon into evening game drive will take you exploring Black Pools and Xini Area, once again.

    Khwai

    After a very early morning light breakfast, we take you for an early morning game-viewing experience. On this drive you will get a chance to see ‘The Cats’ - lions, leopards and cheetahs as they hunt in the morning, taking advantage of the cool temperatures. Return to camp for brunch and a siesta before heading out for a late afternoon game drive. A late afternoon into evening game drive will take you exploring other areas of the concession. A game drive along the banks of the Khwai River will get you even closer to nature and provide an opportunity to learn more about the indigenous flora and traditional medicinal uses of plants. This time also allows our guides to impart their tracking knowledge with hands-on experience and share the rich history of Botswana. The concession also provides a unique opportunity to discover the unusual and secretive nocturnal members of the animal kingdom. We return to camp at sunset, enjoy a refreshing sundowner, followed by a hearty dinner.

  • Day 5

    Savuti

    1 stop
  • 5
    Savute Reserve

    The last stop on the trip is Savuti. Wake up early. Have a light breakfast, break camp and say good bye to Khwai Concession and the spectacular views of the Khwai River, before setting off on the 5 hour drive to your campsite in Savuti. You will have a rest in camp before a late afternoon game drive. Savuti lies in the more remote central region of the Chobe National Park and displays a stark contrast to the Chobe Riverfront – the park’s northern boundary, which has water all year round. Savuti offers dramatic game viewing and a somewhat eerie atmosphere. It is also well known as one of the best areas for big cat viewing. The Savuti lion pride has earned a fearsome reputation for hunting elephant, but other predators like leopard, wild dog, spotted hyena and even cheetah are also abundant in the area. Your evenings will be spent enjoying a bush dining experience around a roaring campfire, after late sundowner refreshments, followed by relaxing to the sounds of the night.
