Botswana Apr 12 Broch Draft.Cwk (WP) BOTSWANA WILDLIFE SAFARI INCLUDING WORLD RENOWNED VICTORIA FALLS April 7 - 20, 2012 Join us as we discover Southern Africa! This is a wonderful safari adventure including three of the iconic spots in Southern Africa: Victoria Falls (one of the three most remarkable waterfalls in the wold), the extraordinary inland wildlife reserve on the Okavango Delta, and Chobe National Park on the Zambezi River (of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor fame!). Victoria Falls must be seen to be believed! The Zambezi plunges into a long gorge (the photo shows just a small part of the falls!). The Okavango Delta is haven for African wildlife from elephants to lions seen by canoe, 4-wheel drive, or on foot. Chobe has one of the largest elephant populations in the world. Fly in light planes to safari camps and lodges. Photos courtesy of SunSafaris. ITINERARY DAY 1 NEW YORK - JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA Sat Apr 7 Depart New York JFK International Airport on a morning flight for Johannesburg. DAY 2 JOHANNESBURG Sun Apr 8 Arrive Johannesburg in the early morning and transfer to your hotel (1 night). Stow you luggage and explore the largest city in South Africa with more than six million people. Johannesburg is a city of contrasts with wealthy suburbs and commercial centers alongside informal settlements, Indian bazaars and African muti (medicine) shops, where traditional healers dispense advice and traditional medicine. Johannesburg is in Gauteng Province. “Gauteng” is a Sotho word meaning Place of Gold. It is the smallest of the South Africa’s nine provinces, but is the center for commercial business and governance. South Africa’s wealth is based primarily in the Golden Reef that makes up the Witwatersrand (Ridge of White Waters), of which Johannesburg is the centre. The city’s history dates back to 1886, when gold was discovered in this area. Join in an optional Soweto tour, visit the Apartheid Museum or relax at the hotel’s spa. DAY 3 JOHANNESBURG - VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE Mon Apr 9 This morning, transfer to the airport for your flight from Jo’burg to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Road transfer from the Victoria Falls airport to Ilala Lodge (2 nights) in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. The Ilala Lodge is situated a mere 10 minutes by foot from one of the natural wonders of the world - Victoria Falls! The National Park borders the front of the hotel property and wild animals often graze on the hotel lawns with the spray of the falls in the background. The remainder of the afternoon is at leisure to explore the mighty waterfall. (B) DAY 4 VICTORIA FALLS Tue Apr 10 On the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, Victoria Falls has some of the most breathtaking views you’ll encounter on the African continent! The massive sheet of falling water and the spray it produces is mesmerizing to say the least. Today you may choose, sign up and pay for local excursions and activities from boat trips on the Zambezi River to a village tour or a scenic flight over the falls. Explore the African wilderness as Dr. Livingstone did so many years ago. (B) DAY 5 VICTORIA FALLS - CHOBE, BOTSWANA Wed Apr 11 Transfer by road from Victoria Falls to Elephant Valley Lodge (3 nights safari tent). (B,D) The lodge has a very active waterhole frequented by numerous species, including elephant, lion, buffalo, and leopard. These sightings present superb photographic opportunities from the comfort and safety of the viewing hide or the lodge’s main deck areas. The Chobe National Park in Botswana is home to the largest elephant population in the world. This magnificent reserve draws life from the Chobe River and is surrounded by protected wildlife sanctuaries. As the region is barrier free, this allows for large numbers of big game to move freely through these protected reserves. Straddling the game rich area between Chobe and Zimbabwe’s Matetsi reserve lies the Kasane Forest Reserve. DAY 6/7 ELEPHANT VALLEY LODGE Thu/Fri Apr 12/13 For the next two days, enjoy morning and afternoon animal-viewing activities in this spectacular region. Your safari experience includes a morning boat cruise on the Chobe River where you are provided with a magnificent opportunity to view the various species that frequent the river. After the boat cruise return to the lodge, where you can while away your time around the pool area or relax in the lounge, recording your morning sightings on a postcard. The afternoon safari takes you into the Chobe National Park where your guide will interpret the sights and sounds of this wildlife sanctuary. (B,L,D) DAY 8 ELEPHANT VALLEY LODGE - MOREMI, BOTSWANA Sat Apr 14 Transfer from Elephant Valley Lodge to the Kasane airport for a light air transfer from Kasane airport to Sango Safari Camp (3 nights safari tent) in the Moremi, Botswana. (B,L,D) Sango Safari Camp is nestled in the shade of the trees overlooking the Khwai River. Situated on the outskirts of the traditional village of Khwai and on the border of Moremi Game Reserve, the camp makes the perfect base from which to explore the wildlife and culture of this unique habitat. This intimate safari camp is named for the Sango Family, some of the original inhabitants of the Khwai area, and now part owners of the camp. You will have the chance to learn first hand about the unique lifestyle and experiences that come from living and growing up in one of the most wildlife rich areas of Botswana. DAY 9/10 SANGO SAFARI CAMP Sun/Mon Apr 15/16 Enjoy a host of wildlife activities over the next two days including; open vehicle game drives both in the Moremi and in the Khwai concession area, guided bush walks, and night drives. Open vehicle game drives will bring you up close and personal with the Big Five and all the other inhabitants of the bush. Escape into the tranquillity and magnificence of the African bushveld where the only sounds are natural and the sights are of magnificent animals and the bright night sky. With a combination of permanent water, seasonal floodplains, open grasslands, riverine forests, and dry woodlands this incredibly rich habitat supports a diversity and abundance of mammals and birds rarely matched in northern Botswana. (B,L,D) DAY 11 SANGO SAFARI CAMP - OKAVANGO DELTA, BOTSWANA Tue Apr 17 Take a light air transfer from Sango Safari Camp to Camp Okavango (2 nights safi tent) in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. (B,L,D) Camp Okavango is on Nxaragha Island in the heart of the Okavango Delta in a private concession, which neighbors the Moremi Game Reserve. DAY 12 CAMP OKAVANGO Wed Apr 18 Activities include exploring the Okavango by mokoro (traditional dug-out) and motorboat. There are also guided nature walks on the nearby islands, which allow you to track some of the larger species that inhabit this unique area. Birding is excellent, and seasonal fishing for bream and tiger fish is also offered. Camp Okavango had a secluded bird-viewing hide and a sun deck with plunge pool – very popular in the heat of the afternoon. You can also enjoy a siesta in a shaded hammock, or watch game from the elevated observation platform – with its views of the tranquil floodplains. (B,L,D) DAY 13 CAMP OKAVANGO - MAUN - JOHANNESBURG Thu Apr 19 After breakfast take a light air transfer from Camp Okavango to Maun airport. Afternoon flight to Johannesburg, with a connecting flight this evening to the USA. (B) DAY 14 ARRIVE NEW YORK Fri Apr 20 Arrive at New York JFK International Airport this morning. ABOUT THE LODGES & CAMPS The Ilala Lodge offers distinguished accommodation in a gracious and secluded ambiance. The decor evokes a bygone era of adventure and the quest of discovery in Africa. A warm welcome awaits you. The hotel is ideally situated and is close to Victoria Falls as well as the town centre. Elephant Valley Lodge features sturdy acacias reaching high above the camp, forming large canopies of shade, under which you will find twenty ‘meru’ styled luxury safari tents. Each of the spacious tents feature twin beds, mini-safe and en-suite facilities which include an indoor shower and toilet. The elephants move along their well worn paths around the camp boundary to and from the Chobe River. Sango Safari Camp accommodating only 12 guests in 6 en-suite meru tents, is designed in the style of the classic tented safari camp of days gone by. With its open-air bucket showers, hand crafted furnishings and classic styling Sango Safari Camp aims to rekindle the atmosphere of the luxury mobile safari camp, successfully blending the rustic with the luxurious. Situated on the river overlooking the Moremi and with access to both these magnificent wildlife areas, Sango Safari Camp is focused on delivering an exceptional wildlife experience. With the Khwai River forming a natural border between the world famous Moremi Game Reserve and Khwai Concession, animals can travel freely through this vast unfenced wilderness. Camp Okavango consists of 12 classic East-African style en suite, tents, each of which sits on a raised deck, which also has a private sun deck. The main building is made in a traditional manner, with thatch and lethaka (reeds), and houses a cocktail bar, lounge and library. There is also a dining area, which leads onto an open-air patio – excellent for evenings around the fireside. Dinner at Camp Okavango, served by the light of candelabra, is renowned. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - RESERVATIONS #1205 YES!
