Day 1 Ghanzi -
Bushman Experience: The safari begins in Maun, where we meet by 08h00 and
travel 300km to a game farm on the western side of the Central Kalahari Game
reserve. We settle into camp and have a safari briefing. In the afternoon we
will be participating in a nature walk led by local Bushmen trackers. They
will share their intricate bush knowledge and give us an insight into their
unique and intriguing culture. This evening we will be treated to a
traditional Bushman dance around the campfire. (L, D)
Days 2 - 5
Central Kalahari Game Reserve: We enter the pristine wilderness of the
largest game reserve in Botswana. We spend 4 nights exploring the
undeveloped wilderness of the northern region of the Kalahari, moving from
camp to camp. We will visit Pipers Pan, Tau Pan and Deception Valley in our
exploration of the Kalahari. Savour the vast open spaces, clear night skies
and uninterrupted beauty of the Kalahari on game drives and at camp. This is
adventure camping in its purest form, water and communications are limited
and we travel as a self-sufficient group. (B, L, D)
Day 6
Maun,
lodge: After our final morning game drive, we break camp and return to Maun,

from the lodge for your trip to the Delta. (Day 6 B, L)
