Why this route.
Why it works: timed for the wet summer, when the zebra migration reaches Nxai Pan, then the Kwando River offers young predators, birds and bull elephants coming to the marula trees at Lagoon; both camps are a short flight from Kasane.
- Zebra migration and Baines' Baobabs at Nxai Pan
- Bushman walks
- Green foliage, birdlife and birthing season
- Marula-season elephants at Lagoon
