Botswana

Chobe National Park is a mere one and a half hours from Victoria Falls. However, access to the camps and lodges in the remainder of Botswana’s wildlife areas is mainly by light aircraft.

All air transfers between Maun and the Camps are carried out by reputable organisations operating mostly single, but some twin, engine aircraft.

The schedule services of Air Botswana link Victoria Falls with Maun and light aircraft transfers can be arranged between Maun and Kasane near Chobe National Park.

Whenever possible, itineraries are planned to incorporate schedule transfers to minimise costs, but some sections are operated by charters only.

Chobe National Park is open throughout the year, but the best game viewing is during the dry season from April to October while the bird life is prolific from September to April.

15 000 square kilometres of the Kalahari Desert have been transformed into the lush Okavango Delta by the waters of the Okavango River which flood the area between April/May and July.

The landscape of the delta incorporates the Moremi Wildlife Reserve with its flood plains, lagoons, secret waterways, palm covered islands and forests.
