Today the group is flown further into the Okavango Delta and transferred to our secluded Jacana Camp for the next three nights. The Delta is an ever changing tapestry of forested islands and crystal clear channels which we explore by mokoro and on foot, giving guests the opportunity to experience Africa at close quarters. The elusive Sitatunga antelope and the rare Pel's Fishing Owl may be seen, as well as smaller quantities of Elephant, Buffalo and other plains game.

Days 8 to 9 : Chobe National Park
This morning we fly north to Chobe, where our camp has been set up in a private site along or near the banks of the Chobe River. On the Chobe floodplains, Elephants can sometimes be viewed in numbers not found elsewhere on the continent, while water birds such as Egrets, Herons, Ducks and Storks occur in profusion.
Day 10 : Victoria Falls - Ilala Lodge
It is a leisurely drive from the Chobe River to the famous Victoria Falls. Arrival at Ilala Lodge will be around midday, and you will have the rest of your afternoon at leisure to explore the rain forests alongside the Falls, or take an optional sunset cruise up the Zambezi River. Guests wanting to enjoy whitewater rafting will have to spend an additional night in Victoria Falls.
Day 11 : End of Safari
You are transferred to the Victoria Falls airport for your onward flight.
The order of the two camps in the Okavango Delta may be awapped around on some itineries: The Jacana Safari is also run from Victoria Falls to Maun.
The Jacana Safari gets its name from one of the region's most attractive birds.
The familiar African Jacana and the elusive Lesser Jacana occur in quiet back-waters and lily-covered lagoons in northern Botswana. Also know as "lily Trotters", these aquatic birds have such long toes that they are able to walk across the water on floating vegetation. Female Jacanas are polyandrous (having more than one mate), an unusual phenomenon among birds. After laying her beautifully camouflaged eggs, she leaves the male to incubate, feed and rear the nestlings while she goes off in search of another breeding partner. Baby jacanas are carried under their father's wing when danger threatens
