Itinerary
Days 1–4: Selinda Reserve
– Untamed Wild Country
Begin your journey with a flight from Maun or Kasane into the expansive Selinda Reserve. Stay at either Selinda or Zarafa Camp, both chosen for their ability to immerse you in this predator-rich wilderness. Expect elephants, lions, wild dogs, and a sense of scale and remoteness that few places can match.
Stay: 3–4 nights
Activities: Game drives, walking safaris, seasonal boating
Days 5–6: Sitatunga Private Island
– Delta Dreams
Transfer by helicopter to a floating villa on Sitatunga Private Island—a peaceful, private oasis tucked within the Okavango’s water channels. This is safari at its most tranquil: slow mokoro rides, dreamy boat cruises, and wildlife viewed in harmony with the water that sustains it.
Stay: 2 nights
Activities: Mokoro excursions, boating, nature walks
Days 7–9: Xigera Safari Lodge
– Where Art Meets Wilderness
Fly into the Moremi Game Reserve and arrive at Xigera Safari Lodge—designed with the bold ambition to be the most beautiful and complete safari lodge in Africa. Every detail that we worked on, from its sculptural architecture to its deep hospitality ethos, has been shaped by a commitment to redefining the safari experience.
Stay: 3 nights
Activities: Game drives, mokoro rides, spa, boating (seasonal), storytelling evenings, nature walks
Day 10: Departure
Enjoy a final morning surrounded by beauty, before your fixed-wing flight returns you to Maun. The journey may end, but the imprint of these wild, soulful places will linger long after.
