Nxai Pan
The three days we spent camped at Nxai Pan revolved around early morning game drives, midday rest and relaxation and evenings game drives that would inevitably end up at the waterhole where the wildlife would gather for to cool off after the day.

Oddballs Camp
After Nxai Pan we took a couple of light aircraft to Oddballs camp where we clamped it up in the heart of the Okavango Delta. We spent several days exploring the area by dugout canoe and on foot though we didn't really have to go to far as Elephant would often wander passed the tents in the night and the hippos would wallow infant of the camp.

Moremi
Having departed Oddballs we recommenced our traveling safari- the first camp was at Moremi. After an afternoon driving through picturesque glades teeming with dear (types) and birdlife the morning brought lion roars and our first unclose encounter... just ask Tanya how close.

Savuti
The home 'allegedly' of the Marsh Pride Savuti provided many opportunities to observe the big cats.The region is also covered with extensive savannas and rolling grasslands, which made the wildlife particularly dynamic in this section of the park.

Chobe
An amazing feature of the safari was the fact that each camp location was completely different to the next. Each providing spectacular moments and each one building on the other. Chobe was no exception with its vast herds of elephants, zebra and buffalo.
