DAY 1: ARRIVE MAUN, FLY TO OKAVANGO DELTA
At Maun Airport, our representative will assist you with boarding your light aircraft which will transfer you into the heart of the Okavango Delta, where you will meet your safari leader at Nxabega Okavango Safari Camp. Accommodation for two nights is in elevated twin-bedded safari tents with en suite facilities. Activities include boating into remote, papyrus-fringed lagoons, exploring the Okavango by canoe and undertaking nature walks on the pristine islands of the delta. You could also try your hand at fishing. The insight and knowledge of your safari leader will add immeasurably to your enjoyment and understanding of this unique wilderness area, rich in flora and fauna and world-renowned as a paradise for bird-watchers.

DAY 2: OKAVANGO DELTA
Spend the day exploring the Delta - the ultimate desert oasis. Papyrus and palms flourish here, amidst the lily-lined lagoons that weave their way across the desert, petering out in the stark Kalahari. This is a land like nowhere else on earth. Your guide will point out to you the many unique plant, animal and bird species of the delta. Drifting through the water in a mokoro, or traditional dug-out canoe, offers the chance to experience the delta at first hand. You may also like to arrange to go on an interpretive walk, where you will be introduced to the wonders of the land, and the impressive knowledge of the local guides, as you explore the region on foot.
