There is a minimum stay of 4 nights with 2 nights at each camp. Longer stays are encouraged. 

Below is an outline of a typical 4 night stay – keeping in mind that each guest experience is individually tailored and many stay for 5 – 6 nights.

DAY 1

Accessible only by helicopter, guests experience a breathtaking scenic helicopter flight over the dramatic Okavango Delta landscape, bringing them right onto the doorstep of this wild playground. Guests are welcomed by their private guide and the intimate expedition team, and become acquainted with their tent, private camp and the raw wilderness around.

From here the journey starts along the southern section of the Kweene River in the occasional swamp habitat at Kweene River Camp, an area that has an arid feel to the landscape. As these floodplains are inundated with water less frequently than that of the seasonal swamp, the grass species that dominate the floodplains are much more palatable and thus productive, supporting large herds of grazers and the predators that follow.

First day arrival usually has an afternoon drive to understand the lay of the land. Sundowners and back to camp for dinner.

DAY 2

The option for a morning scenic helicopter flying safari if the heli overnights after the drop-off. This epic aerial safari with the doors-off on the helicopter (seatbelts on) includes a breakfast picnic stop. This experience carries a cost surcharge.

Other then the optional heli scenic safari, the daily routine and safari schedule has a fluid structure, wholly dependent and dictated by the wildlife around, what is happening in the concession at the time of the expedition, the ever fluctuating water levels, the time of year, and of course the mood and capabilities of the group. The beauty of a private and intimate mobile camp is that each guest has total flexibility, steered by their private guide and his knowledge to provide the best experience possible.

Second day is a mixture of walking, driving and mokoro.

DAY 3

On the moving day between the two camps, guests cover the distance by vehicle, on foot or by mokoro; or by a combination of these. This is a full day of exploration out in the wilderness with a delicious packed lunch enjoyed during a restful siesta; while the back up team moves the camp and sets up for the afternoon arrival in the next location.

After an active day of safari activities, the late afternoon provides to relax in camp and soak up the luxury of solitude.

DAY 4

Further north up the Kweene River system is Magwegwe Camp (approx 15 km), which is situated in the seasonal swamp habitat. Here, the river receives water on a yearly basis with the inundation cycle of the annual Okavango flood dynamic. This section of the river is an exposé of exceptional Okavango Delta scenery and its wildlife; endless floodplains with well-wooded islands dotting the plains and all-year-round surface water drawing in an abundance of wildlife.

Fourth day is a mixture of walking, driving and mokoro. Night drives are also an option for those who would like a noctural safari.

DAY 5

Morning activity and the last chance to enjoy this wild wilderness before the heli arrival for the pick up and onward transfer to the next camp or back to Maun to connect with onward flight.

SEASONALITY: Apr to end of Nov.

CHILDREN: All ages (certain activities such as mokoro and walking have an age restriction of 12+ years).
