Why this route.
Why it works: all four Kwando regions in one trip: the Kwando River, the Okavango Delta, the Makgadikgadi salt pan edge and the Central Kalahari; four very different landscapes, one operator, one standard of camp.
- Riverfront elephants and boating at Lagoon
- Mokoro and boating plus leopard and hyena tracking at Pom Pom
- Baines' Baobabs and Bushman walks at Nxai Pan
- Black-maned lions, San-led walks and the sleepout deck at Tau Pan
