We'll spend an extra day in Maun and visit a typical Tswana village. We then catch up with the beginning of the Kuru Dance Festival Safari itinerary.

Below is a detailed itinerary:

Detailed itinerary: Aug 3-Aug 11

Leave the US on Saturday August 2nd (Guests are responsible for arranging for their own commercial flights, however, we can recommend a ticket consolidator who has great prices on tickets to Africa)

Day 1 (August 3rd) - Arrive Livingstone, Zambia via commercial airline, where we'll be waiting to welcome you to Africa. The evening will be spent relaxing and getting acquainted.

Day 2 – Today we'll visit the awe inspiring Victoria Falls and look around Livingstone. There are a number of adventure activities available here and we can arrange for them as an extra to the trip. Just email to ask about what's available.

Day 3 – We spend the morning with a last visit to the falls then take a leisurely paced drive to Kasane, Botswana. In the evening we go on a sundowner cruise along the Zambezi to watch the elephants come down to drink.

Day 4 – We continue due southwest through Chobe National Park which has the largest concentration of elephants in the world. We'll spend the night at a campsite in Savuti.  

Day 5 – We'll explore the area around Savuti, with a bit of luck we just might find the famous Savuti pride of lions, known for their rare habit of preying on elephants. We'll spend a second night at the same campsite in Savuti.

Day 6 –We again head southwest, over the Magwikwe Sand Ridge which defines the northern shoreline of the Makgadikgadi mega-lake that existed in wetter times and before tectonic shifts, onto Moremi Game Reserve and then the Okavango Delta. Moremi is the absolute greatest game viewing place in the world with a different animal behind every bush. We'll spend the next two nights camping in the northern part of the reserve.

Day 7 – We'll take the whole day to explore the fascinating Okavango Delta. In the morning we'll meet up with some local guides and go on a mokoro ride to get a close up view of the watery side of the Delta. In the evening we'll venture into the mopane forests and open dry flood plains.

Day 8 – After a morning game drive and lunch at the lodge, we'll drive to Maun. We'll be spending the next two nights at Marina's Lodge. We love Marina's; a cozy spot where we have spent many nights with our close friends Marina, her husband Paul and their daughter Ashley.

Day 9 –This is the first day of the Kuru Dance Festival Safari. For those on this supplement, we'll visit a nearby village which still retains much of the traditional culture.

The price for this supplement is an additional $3,000 per person and must be added taken as an addition to the Kuru Dance Festival Safari.
