Hippo Trail

Day 1 Tour Starts in Maun

which is the doorway to the Okavango Delta. This is where your adventure starts and the

Day 2 Drive into the Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta also referred to as ‘Africa’s Last Eden’. It is one of Africa’s most
beautiful and well preserved ecosystems. The Okavango Delta is affected by seasonal
flooding with flood water from Angola reaching the Delta between March and June, peaking
in July. This peak coincides with Botswana’s dry season resulting in great migrations of plain
game from the dry hinterland. Your first night camping in the Moremi Game Reserve will be
an unforgettable start to your journey; with the game drives and camp fire to add to the
excitement.
Overnight: Standard camping
Included: Lunch, Dinner

Day 3 At Moremi Game Reserve

Wake up in a wonderland and let your breath be taken away by the striking sunrise and the
smell of the African bush. The Okavango Delta supports large concentrations of animals on
both a permanent and seasonal basis. Through careful wildlife management it has become
perhaps one of the best places to see animals and birds in Africa. Scenic game drives through
the game reserve will leave you with memories to take home and stories to tell.
Overnight: Standard camping
Included: All meals

Day 4 To Savute

Savute is an area in the Chobe National Park and is probably most well-known for its large
herds of African Elephants. But this is just the beginning of the Park. Discover an entirely
different environment within the Okavango Delta as we take a beautiful drive towards your
new camp site that will allow your thoughts to wonder. A similar game drive and night
camping experience as Moremi but with completely different surroundings will keep you
intrigued.
Overnight: Standard camping
Included: All meals

Day 5 In the Heart of Savute

Enjoy your early morning wake-up in Savute with a nice cup of tea or coffee and the aura of
the wildlife around you. Start your day with an early morning game drive through Savute and
you will realize the difference in topography between Savute and your previous game drives
within Moremi. The vast plains of Savute and its diversity of environments will inspire you.
After a breathtaking morning game drive, you will come back to camp and enjoy a lovely
lunch that has already been prepared for you. After your afternoon nap amongst nature, get
ready for your afternoon game drive and explore the other sections of that Savute has to offer
to you. Relax back at camp and anticipate your night around the camp fire.
Overnight: Standard camping
Included: All meals

Day 6 Drive into Chobe National Park

Wake up for the last time in Savute and prepare yourself for your next adventure by heading
to the famous Chobe National Park. Your morning game drive will be the start of your trip to
Chobe and the change of scenery will be just beautiful. Chobe National Park is famous for its
large herds of elephants, buffaloes and numerous predators that come with them. Your first
night at Chobe will not disappoint and the surroundings are just amazing with the sounds and
fragrance of the African bush.
Overnight: Standard camping
Included: All meals
Day 7 at Chobe National Park
Your first morning in Chobe will be an unforgettable one, with the striking beauty of your
new surroundings giving you ample opportunities for great photos. The first morning game
drive will set the tone for the rest of your stay in Chobe. If it’s big game you seek, then
Chobe National Park is the right place to go. The vast herds of elephants will forever be
ingrained in your memory. Head back to camp after your second game drive of the day and
exchange stories around the camp fire.
Overnight: Standard camping
Included: All meals

Day 8 Drive to Livingstone
Wake up in Chobe with a coffee in one hand and your passport in the other, because today
you are heading to Livingstone, Zambia. We would have finished with the game drives
(unless you want to book supplementary game drives in Livingstone). Livingstone is the
perfect place for adrenaline junkies or people fascinated in its rich history. As you get
yourself comfortable at your new lodge, prepare yourself for the activities you have booked
with your tour guide. There are many activities Livingstone can offer, activities such as,
white water rafting, bungee jumping, village tours, scenic helicopter flights, lion and cheetah
walks and much more. And don’t forget the famous Victoria Falls also known as Mosi-oaTunya ‘The Smoke that Thunders’.

Day 9 in Livingstone
Wake up in the comfort of a lodge well relaxed from your action packed first day in Zambia.
Due to the amount of activities Livingstone has to provide, today is the perfect day to tick off
anything else that is on your ‘to do’ list. Come back to your lodge for the last time and start
getting ready for your trip home and enjoy the last night of your time with STS.
Overnight: Standard lodge

Day 10 Depart from Livingstone Airport
Your adventure ends in Livingstone. Depending on the schedule of your flights you may wish
to spend some additional time relaxing and absorbing the beauty of the surrounds.
