Three Day Safari to Moremi National Park & Okavango Delta

Come with me and experience the untouched nature and thrill of the various water channels of the Okavango delta both on a Mokoro (Local name for a tree trunk Canoe) and on a Safari Vehicle. A Safari on a canoe with a poler powering your Canoe is a Safari like no other " dont put your hands in the water". My best experience was to come close to herds of elephants, on one of my Mokoro rides. I would love to experience this with you. Hippos are a sight not to be missed.

You will also go on Safari, on a 4 X 4 off road vehicle into the Okavango Delta. This will be the highlight of your trip. An overnight stay in the bush in tented accommodation will give you an experience of a lifetime. The quite night over a campfire drinking your aperitifs " if you prefer" will occasionally be pierced by a lions roar, and the night sky will give you a clear view of Orion in the safety of your campsite before being served a bush dinner. Breakfast lunch and dinner will be in the bush and you will be well catered for.
