This exclusive Botswana luxury safari offers an unforgettable journey through two of the country’s most iconic landscapes: the lush waterways of the Okavango Delta and the dramatic Makgadikgadi Pans. The standard itinerary includes two nights at each destination, providing a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, with the option to extend your stay by an extra night at each lodge for a deeper, more immersive experience.
Guests begin at the elegant Elephant Pan Lodge in the Okavango Delta, where mornings are spent on private game drives across vibrant floodplains rich with elephants, predators, and birdlife. Afternoons feature serene mokoro and boat excursions through the delta’s winding channels. Guided walking safaris and photographic hides offer rare, intimate encounters with wildlife, allowing guests to experience the delta’s ecosystems up close.
The journey then transitions to the Makgadikgadi Pans, where the stark, otherworldly salt pans and riverfront vistas of Meno A Kwena Camp provide dramatic contrasts.

Throughout the safari, refined comforts are a priority, from private tented suites and panoramic decks to gourmet alfresco dining and bespoke stargazing experiences. This itinerary delivers a truly luxurious, immersive safari that captures Botswana’s extraordinary wildlife, landscapes, and cultural heritage.
Arrive in Botswana and take a scenic transfer into the heart of the legendary Okavango Delta, where your safari adventure begins at the luxurious Elephant Pan Lodge.

After settling in, embark on a private afternoon game drive as the delta awakens, capturing your first encounters with majestic wildlife and vibrant birdlife. As dusk falls, enjoy a gourmet dinner under the stars, accompanied by the enchanting chorus of nocturnal creatures, a perfect introduction to the magic of Botswana.
