WINGS OVER BOTSWANA

An Eleven-Day Journey Across Some of
the Most Beautiful Regions of Southern Africa

*Wildlife viewing in Moremi Wildlife Reserve, the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park *
*Interaction with semi-hatituated elephants*
*A&K's luxurious Chief's and Stanley's Camps and Chobe Chilwero Lodge*
*Awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, the "Smoke That Thunders"*

Botswana's remote Okavango Delta is a secret oasis, "the Jewel of the Kalahari" in an otherwise water-starved land. Wings Over Botswana uses safe, convenient aircraft to carry travellers deep into the green and tranquil Delta realm, to explore a wetland wilderness alive with birds, animals and exotic plants.

From Johannesburg you fly to Maun, staging point for any expedition into the Okavango floodplain. Then transfer by light aircraft into the Delta to explore the Moremi Game Reserve and the Okavango Delta itself from comfortable wilderness camps. Another short flight then takes you to your next camp, this time overlooking the Chobe River, bordering Chobe National Park.

Your final stop is the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, where the "Smoke That Thunders" pours over a mile-wide basalt cliff. By plane, open-topped safari vehicle, dugout canoe and river boat, see the best of the secret, shimmering world of the Okavango Delta on Wings Over Botswana.
