Get ready to check another country off your list as the group crosses the border from Namibia into Botswana. Travel east into the heart of the Kalahari to Ghanzi. Catch a glimpse of how the Indigenous San Bushmen adapted to this difficult landscape on a San bushman walk.

Tagsüber reisen wir durch den nördlichen Teil der Kalahari-Wüste. Die Landschaft hier ist sehr ausgedörrt und karg, aber dennoch wunderschön.

Nach der Ankunft in Maun, der größten Stadt im Okavango-Delta, solltest du dir alle notwendigen Vorräte besorgen und dich auf die Reise ins Okavango-Delta vorbereiten.

Day 4 Okavango-Delta

The excursion begins with a drive in customized safari vehicles for about 1-2 hrs to the "dock" to board a mokoro (canoe) that takes us deep into the delta. After a 1-2 hrs in the mokoro, arrive to the camp.
