7 Day Majestic Journey | Classic Makgadikgadi, Okavango Delta & Linyanti Fly-in Safari Tour

This 7 Day Classic Botswana Fly-in safari tour combines 3 wilderness areas of vastly differing eco-systems and animals but equal drama and species diversity.

This classic fly-in safari provides the opportunity to experience the Kalahari Desert combined with the Okavango and Linyanti wetlands in one special African safari. This Botswana tour offers opportunities to learn about the great diversity in the National Parks of Botswana.

The change from the arid desert areas to the wetlands of the Okavango and Linyanti is dramatic. The range of activities that you can be part of adds to the magic of this Majestic Journey Safari.

Some of the areas are in private concessions which allow for night drives that complement the game drives during the day to ensure a complete African Safari experience. Boat cruises and nature walks with the Bushmen add an extra dimension to your safari.

Day 1: Johannesburg - Maun - Nxai PanView Lodge

Today you will fly from Johannesburg to Maun before boarding your light aircraft into Nxai Pan National Park where you will spend the next 2 nights.

Day 2: Nxai Pan

An early wake-up and breakfast ensure you are ready for the adventures of the day. Knowledgeable guides will share their passion of the area with you. Nxai Pan is part of the Makgadikgadi Pans complex, a fascinating area for true African Safari travelers. A waterhole in front of the bush camp provides excellent viewing during the hot hours of the day when the animals come down to slake their thirst. The afternoon activity will allow you to explore the area in greater depth before sundowners and dinner at the bush camp.

Day 3: Nxai Pan - Okavango

Today you will leave the semi-arid regions of the Kalahari and fly to what is known as the jewel of the desert, the Okavango Delta. The difference between the 2 areas is so dramatic that it is like arriving on a new continent. You will spend the next 2 nights here marveling at the intricacies of this special wilderness. There will be time this afternoon for a game drive before sundowners and dinner.

Day 4: Okavango

An early morning wake-up call will signal a day of many new sights and amazing experiences. You may choose to do a game drive, a walk, or a boat cruise before returning to the camp for brunch. During the heat of the day, you may choose to rest in your room or do a spot of fishing. Afternoon tea will be served on the deck before you depart on your evening activity which may be a canoe ride or an evening/night drive to experience another side of the African wilderness. The Okavango is indeed a special place and falling asleep to the sounds of the African night is an experience to savor.

Day 5: Okavango - Linyanti

Today you will fly north to one of Botswana's most underrated safari destinations. Kwando was for many years a trophy hunting area but in recent years photographic tourism has taken over and the wildlife has increased tenfold. You will arrive in time for lunch and an afternoon activity to experience wildlife that has been described by many as some of the best in Africa. A sundowner at the river's edge is truly a memorable experience.

Day 6: Linyanti

The day starts early so as to get the best experience in this truly remarkable wilderness area, an area that is not known to many people. Predator interaction is some of the best you will see and the area is known for its population of the highly endangered African wild dog. The guides in the area are passionate about the place and they will pass this across to you in the interpretation. There is time for a siesta but you may want to spend that time watching over the wilderness from your room as you can never know what drama will take place. Evening game drives add something extra to an already spectacular African experience.
