You'll depart from Kasane by light aircraft transfer which will take you to the Savute region of the Chobe National Park. Here you'll stay at the elegant Savute Safari Lodge, comprised of eleven thatched chalets clustered around a shaded viewing deck. The deck and al fresco dining area overlook the Savute channel, which is jam-packed with wildlife and notable for its resident bull elephants.

Covering almost 12 000km² Chobe National Park in the north of Botswana is the third largest national park in the country. It has one of the largest concentrations of game in Africa and is especially well known for its impressive elephant population; possibly the largest concentration on the continent with an estimated 70 000 animals. The Savute Marsh region in the west of Chobe covers 10 800km². A relic of a large inland lake, the marsh is now fed by the erratic Savuti channel and is home to a wide range of game including lion, hippo, crocodile, elephant and many bird species.

Your next destination will be the Moremi Game Reserve for two nights, which you will also reach via another light aircraft transfer. The Moremi Game Reserve has one of the most diverse habitat and animal populations in Botswana, so your game viewing activities by either river powerboat or in open 4x4 vehicles (sometimes both), are guaranteed to be thrilling and varied. Moremi was the first African reserve established by the local people in 1963. The catalyst was the fast depletion of wildlife, prompting the Batawana people of Ngamiland to act in an attempt to protect the remaining animals. Today the reserve remains of great environmental, conservation and scientific importance.
