Luxury Camps of Botswana: Desert and Delta

Depart Maun by light aircraft for the air strip at Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, about 140 kilometres southeast of Maun.

On arrival at the air strip, the Leroo La Tau staff will greet you and transfer you to the camp.

Leroo La Tau is built on cliffs over 10 metres above this changing riparian environment, offering a vantage point that ensures unsurpassed views of the river and the Makgadikgadi Pans to the east

The balance of the day is at leisure to relax or begin your exploration of the National Park.

A full day of guided game drives in the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park focusing on the exceptional wildlife sightings along the Boteti River. Depending on the water level, boat activities are also provided.

Leroo La Tau translates as 'lion’s paw' but, although the surrounding area features abundant Lion, Zebra and Wildebeest, it also boasts Chobe Bushbuck, Leopard, Cheetah, Brown and Spotted Hyena, Impala, Kudu, Jackal, Porcupine, Genet and Caracal, to name but a few.

This evening return to camp and enjoy dinner in one of the indoor or outdoor dinning areas.

Following breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your flight to Moremi Game Reserve.

Moremi Game Reserve was the first wildlife sanctuary to be set aside by a Southern African community on their own land, when in 1963 the wife of Chief Moremi III decided to protect a third of the Okavango Delta for the future, and declared the Moremi Game Reserve in honour of her late husband.

Camp Moremi has a well-deserved legacy in the Botswana tourism industry for being able to deliver the classic African safari experience. Recently completely rebuilt, Camp Moremi boasts 12 expansive, modern styled thatched safari tents and accommodates a maximum of twenty-four guests. 

Following breakfast, join the morning and afternoon game drives throughout the many different ecosystems that the Moremi Game Reserve has to offer or the possibility to explore the Xakanaxa Lagoon and its surrounding channels by boat. 

The team of experienced Professional guides will introduce you to a whole new world of wildlife; watch a Leopard stretched out lazily in the branches of a Mopane tree, herds of Elephant grazing under a canopy of green or a pride of Lions camouflaged in the long grass. Moremi Game Reserve’s incredible wetlands support a vast number of antelope, including Impala, Kudu and Waterbuck. Birdlife is prolific and the majestic Fish Eagle and vivid Malachite Kingfisher are frequently seen and even the rare Pel’s Fishing Owl makes an occasional appearance.

Dinner this evening is served in Camp Moremi’s communal areas, masterfully built around a large termite mound and ebony tree, an expansive lounge area with beautiful brass and soft finishes, leading towards an extended library and private deck. These areas, including the elevated dining area, connects by boardwalk to the fireplace in front of the camp.

Follwoing breakfast transfer to the airstrip for the flight to Kasane, where the Chobe Game Lodge staff will be waiting to transfer you.

The Chobe National Park is located in the Northern part of Botswana and lies along the Chobe River, which borders Botswana and Namibia. The Park is the second largest in Botswana and is known for its superb game viewing all year round, as it has one of the largest populations of game on the African continent. Chobe is probably best known for its impressive Elephant herds.

Chobe Game Lodge, the only permanent game lodge situated within the famous Chobe National Park, is Botswana's premier venue for guests looking for a perfect base from which to explore the National Park and the Chobe River. This five-star Lodge has full eco-grading by Botswana Tourism Board.

Early-morning and late-afternoon game drives are conducted by expert guides in open-sided 4x4 vehicles to ensure maximum visibility of Chobe National Park’s spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife. Riverside game viewing may be done from small and highly manoeuvrable boats, perfect for morning or sunset cruises.

Chobe's diverse wildlife roams in abundance – it is, for instance, home to the largest concentration of elephant in Africa. During the dry season these large herds, as well as vast herds of buffalo, congregate on the fertile flood plains along the Chobe River to drink, bathe and play. There are frequent sightings of lion, African wild dog, puku, red lechwe, sable, giraffe and roan antelope.

This evening enjoy dinner in the riverside boma.

Following an early morning game drive and breakfast, transfer to the Kasane airport for your onward journey.
