Gweta/Maun: Watch a beautiful sunrise this morning from your camp under the huge baobab trees. Hit the road in the Lando to Maun where the group will set up camp in a serene setting.
Maun/Okavango Delta: Travel from Maun into the Delta to explore the landscape from a traditional mokoro (dugout canoe). Do some birdwatching on the way to the basic bush camp where the group will set out on a sunset nature walk. Set up camp and unwind around the campfire.
Maun/D'kar: Travel back through the Okavango Delta in a traditional mokoro and disembark in Maun. Then, travel through the western part of Botswana to D'kar; the heart of the Kalahari. Set off on an optional bushman walk and see how the local San People adapted to life in the desert.
