7-Day Botswana & Zimbabwe Lodge Safari: Chobe, Makgadikgadi, Khwai/Moremi, Okavango Delta & Victoria Falls
This 7-day Botswana Zimbabwe lodge safari starts in Kasane and runs through Chobe National Park, the Makgadikgadi Pans and the Khwai and Moremi area, then ends at Victoria Falls, with en-suite lodges every night, no camping, and a private guide and 4x4 throughout.
Begin in Kasane, the gateway to Chobe National Park, where boat cruises put you among the park's large elephant herds. Head south about 430 km (5 to 6 hours) to the Makgadikgadi Pans, a vast salt flat left by an ancient lake, for meerkats and starry skies. Continue about 200 km (3.5 hours) to Maun and 2 hours further to the Khwai and Moremi area, where game drives and a mokoro take you deep into the Okavango's wildlife country. Return via Kasane and cross the Kazungula border to Victoria Falls, Mosi-oa-Tunya, and finish with a guided tour of the Falls.
