Detailed itinerary.
Wilderness DumaTau
DumaTau — Setswana for "roar of the lion" — occupies a stretch of the Linyanti Marsh regarded as one of the best elephant-viewing locations on the continent. 3 nights at this camp.
Wilderness Vumbura Plains
Vumbura Plains sits in the far north of the Delta within a 60,000-hectare private concession combining permanent water channels, seasonally flooded grassland studded with ilala palms, and wooded islands. 2 nights at this camp.
Wilderness Mombo
Wilderness Mombo sits in the north-eastern corner of Chief's Island, at the point where the Delta's main channels split — a position that concentrates wildlife into a private concession local people once named Mokobadinama, "the acacias hanging with meat," for the density of game it supports. 2 nights at this camp.
Departure
Transfer to the airport or airstrip for onward or homeward flights. Transfer modes and flight timings are confirmed by your consultant.
