Africa 2022

In June of 2022 our owner will lead his fifth Africa safari. This will be the twelfth time he has visited this great continent!  On this safari we will return to Botswana.  An optional post-safari tour will travel from Victoria Falls to Pretoria, South Africa on the famous Rovos Rail!  This is, perhaps, our best itinerary yet!    ​

Itinerary   Arrive on June 13, 2022 in Johannesburg, South Africa.  Spend the night at your hotel before departing the following morning for our first stop in Botswana.  

On June 14 we arrive at the Moremi Game Reserve, where we will spend three nights in our tented camp located on the beautiful Xakanaxa Lagoon in the eastern extremity of the Okavango Delta.  Meals, activities and other amenities are all included!  Join us as we search for leopards, lions and other animals on guided game drives and via the surrounding channels on motorboats.  

The morning of June 17 we fly to our camp in the Okavango Delta.  There our camp overlooks the delta's lush channels, with superb views of the seasonal floodplains.  The Okavango Delta is a World Heritage Site and one of the world's largest inland deltas. It is known as one of the most incredible wilderness sanctuaries in Africa.  Like few places in the world, this is a wondrous wetland within a desert!  Here we will explore the wetlands aboard a mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe, quietly enjoying the water lilies and viewing spectacular bird life. 

After breakfast on June 19 we take a morning flight to our final stop, Savute.  This channel is a legendary wildlife region, knowns for its large numbers of predators.  For different species, the Savute Channel is a place of refuge, ann obstacle, an unrivaled food source, a playground and a graveyard.  Our safari lodge is located on the banks of the Stolen River in a setting of singular beauty.  For the next three days we will enjoy game viewing opportunities as we search for lions, cheetahs, hyenas as well as giraffe, black-backed jackals or wild dogs. 

On June 22 the safari comes to an end for those who do not want to take part in the optional Rovos Rail trip.  For those taking part in the optional trip, we travel to Victoria Falls for one night in a hotel and a brief visit to the falls before boarding our Rovos Rail train for four nights en route to Pretoria, South Africa.  

Don't delay on signing up for your trip to Africa.  If you want to sign up, send us an e-mail.  We will send you a link to complete the sign-up forms. All of these lodges are smaller cabins and will sell out very early...as will to Rovos Rail train!
