Botswana Honeymoon

Arrive at Kasane Airport, where you’ll be welcomed and transferred by road to your lodge, a luxurious, intimate Lodge perched above the Chobe River in a private area of Chobe Forest Reserve, just outside the western boundary of Chobe National Park.

Settle into your suite with sweeping river views and a private plunge pool, where elephants often pass below. This lesser-traveled section of the park offers a more exclusive and uncrowded safari experience, with direct access to the largest concentration of elephants in Africa, as well as buffalo, sable antelope, giraffes, and predators including lion and leopard.

Spend your days exploring this remarkable ecosystem through early morning and late afternoon game drives, led by expert guides who know the land intimately. In between, enjoy boat cruises along the Chobe River, offering a peaceful, up-close look at hippos, crocodiles, and a wide variety of birdlife as they gather along the water’s edge.

When not out on safari, relax at the lodge, take a dip in your pool, enjoy a cocktail on the viewing deck, or simply watch the sunset over the Caprivi floodplains. 

Accommodation: Ngoma Safari Lodge

Today, you’ll board a light aircraft flight bound for northern Botswana’s Linyanti Wildlife Reserve — a vast, private concession bordering the western edge of Chobe National Park. This remote area is celebrated for its dramatic scenery, seasonal lagoons, and high concentrations of wildlife, particularly predators and large herds of elephants.

Spend the next three nights in a beautifully secluded camp set along the Linyanti River, where every suite offers sweeping views, elegant interiors, and a sense of complete immersion in nature. With only a handful of camps in this expansive area, game drives here feel exclusive, unrushed, and deeply personal.
Daily safaris are led by expert guides, offering the chance to track African wild dogs, lions, leopards, and cheetahs, alongside large numbers of elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and abundant birdlife. The freedom of a private reserve means you can enjoy off-road driving, night safaris, and spontaneous stops to follow fresh tracks or enjoy a sundowner in a breathtaking setting.

Between activities, relax in your tented suite overlooking the water, often visited by passing elephants or hippos. In the evenings, dine under the stars, listen to the calls of the bush, and reflect on the rare privilege of being surrounded by so much space and wildlife, with hardly another vehicle in sight.

This morning, board a scenic light aircraft flight into the Chitabe Concession, set on a private island within the southeastern Okavango Delta, one of Botswana’s most iconic safari regions. This final stop offers an unforgettable blend of rich biodiversity, dramatic predator encounters, and classic tented luxury.

You’ll spend three nights in a secluded camp that combines elegance with immersion in nature. Surrounded by a mosaic of floodplains, woodlands, and savannah, Chitabe is known for its exceptional year-round game viewing, particularly for big cats, wild dogs, elephants, and plains game. The area is also home to an extraordinary variety of birds and smaller, often-overlooked species that add layers to each game drive.

Head out each morning and afternoon on open 4x4 game drives, led by seasoned guides who tailor each outing to animal movement and guest interest. With no other camps in the immediate area, sightings feel exclusive and unhurried.

Between safaris, relax in your spacious suite on a raised wooden deck, listen to the sounds of the bush, and enjoy romantic touches like private sundowners, lantern-lit dinners, or simply watching the sunset with a glass of wine in hand.

As the final chapter of your journey, Chitabe offers the perfect balance of adventure and intimacy, closing your honeymoon with sweeping views, unforgettable wildlife, and quiet moments shared in the heart of the Okavango Delta.

Accommodation: Wilderness Chitabe

This morning, you'll leave Chitabe Camp and take a light aircraft flight to Maun Airport, arriving in plenty of time for your onward flight.
