7 days Botswana: road trippin’ the north

Welcome to Botswana! Kasane International Airport (BBK) is the northern gateway to Botswana’s wilderness and the world-famous Chobe National Park. Just minutes from Kasane town and close to the borders of Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, you’ve arrived in the heart of the legendary Four Corners of Africa. As you descend, keep an eye out for sweeping views of the Chobe River, open floodplains and vast savannah - you often see wildlife even before you touch down. Your private driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall to pick you up and ease you into Botswana’s warm hospitality. This is the start of your safari adventure!

Accommodations:

• Silver Chobe Elephant Camp
• Gold Muchenje Safari Lodge
• Platinum andBeyond Chobe Under Canvas

The Chobe Riverfront stretches along the northern boundary of Chobe National Park, where the Chobe River separates Botswana from Namibia. The whole park is home to over 120,000 elephants - the largest remaining population in the world. Still, during the dry season, the herds gather along the riverfront in extraordinary numbers, alongside buffalo and plains game. Game drives along the riverfront put you in the middle of this, while a boat cruise on the Chobe River brings you eye to eye with hippos, crocodiles and elephants swimming, drinking or just bathing in the sun at the water's edge.

Accommodations:

• Silver Chobe Elephant Camp
• Gold Muchenje Safari Lodge

Savuti is one of Africa's most extraordinary and ever-changing wilderness areas, a vast, ancient landscape in the remote western reaches of Chobe National Park that has captivated explorers and wildlife enthusiasts for generations. Fed by the legendary Savuti Channel, its waters have come and gone over centuries, shaping a dramatic mosaic of dry riverbeds, open grasslands, and seasonal wetlands that draw some of the continent's most spectacular concentrations of wildlife on any game drive. A Savuti Marsh Excursion offers a rare and privileged window into this untamed world!

All good things come to an end. This is unfortunately your last day, and you will catch your flight home from Kasane International Airport. Enjoy the last aerial views of the Chobe River and the floodplains, potentially even the last herd of elephants, and cherish the memories of your fantastic Botswana adventure. Safe travels!
