Packed and ready! Finally there is departure. The soft travel bag is packed as sparingly as possible according to the supplied packing list. Camping adventure ahead, so there is a lot you don't need, but on the other hand you have to remember what you really need!

You land in the morning in Johannesburg. Here you change planes and fly north to Maun in Botswana. You will be met by our partner at the airport who will drive you to your lodge, where you can rest after the long journey in a real bed. Perhaps you will also meet some of the other guests with whom you are going on a safari trip tomorrow.

You get up early and eat breakfast at the lodge. Your guide picks you up at 07:30 and then the trip starts towards the southern part of the delta. Here you meet a team of mokoro drivers from the local village, and they take you out on the clear waters of the Okavango Delta. Depending on the season, they take you along narrow canals in the countryside or between small islands on the flooded river delta. The mokoros provide access to the interior of the delta, and the next two nights are spent far from the last dirt road. You camp on one of the islands, and for the next few days explore this wild paradise on foot and by water with your guides who grew up in the delta. Their families have lived here for generations. They have fished and hunted and know how to get around and survive in this unique part of the world.

After an exciting first night in the delta, you have hopefully had a good night's sleep in the tent. Satisfied with campfire food, experiences and impressions, you were perhaps quickly lulled to sleep by an orchestra of nature's sounds. Frogs and cicadas have their stanzas of monotonous quiet sounds, perhaps interrupted by a lone owl calling for a mate. There are many new sounds in the night, for a whole shift of nocturnal animals has foraged and hunted on the floodplains through the cool and dark hours of the night. The sound of a munching hippo that has passed right through the camp, or the rumble of an otherwise silent elephant. Perhaps the loud warning cry of a baboon or the unimaginable deep roar of a lion has kept you wide awake for many hours. It is almost impossible to understand that you are safe behind the canvas of the tent. But you are, on the other hand, you should preferably not go out and pee in the dark.

After breakfast, the camp is packed up and you sail with mokoros back to where you left the car on the mainland. From here it is about 50 km to your next accommodation, which is located in a very game-rich country area just outside the Moremi Game Reserve, which belongs to a local tribe. The land areas intertwine, there are no fences or borders, so the animals move everywhere. We pay the locals to stay and spend the night in their area, which is an essential income and means that the land area remains an extended integral part of the game reserve. There will be plenty to experience and see along the way from the delta to the drier regions on the edge of the delta.

We get up early and after the camp is packed up and we've had breakfast, we go on safari in one of the wildest reserves in Botswana. The trip to the next camp is approximately 80 kilometers. It takes 3-4 hours to drive there, through terrain where only 4x4s can drive. There will be plenty of game to see on the way. Moremi consists of swamps and dry plains, and the next three days are spent in this amazing game reserve, where the variety of birds and mammals is spectacular.

For many, safari experiences can feel like stepping into a National Geographic nature program. But it's early up, and tired in bed. And the camping safari offers dust, the smell of fire, and perhaps some situations where the adrenaline pumps just right when you don't feel completely safe in the bush. It lacks a mirror, wifi, sofa and a good movie. On the other hand, it is a sensual gift and an experience of a lifetime.

The day goes on with several safari experiences in Moremi. After breakfast, pack up the camp and drive from the western part of Moremi to the northeastern area around the river Khwai. The area belongs to a tribe of river bushmen who were moved out of Moremi in the 1960s and given land to settle on. Traditionally, the river bush people have been nomadic and have hunted and fished, moving with the seasons. There is evidence that these people have been in the delta area for 22,000 years! When the government established the Moremi Game Reserve, it was important that it was a reserve (and not a national park) with recognized coexistence with the indigenous people who had historically lived in the area.

After breakfast, the course is set for Chobe National Park, which is known for enormous herds of elephants. It is a distance of 120 km covered today, with safari all the way - a drive that will take 7-8 hours. Camp will be made for the night in the Savute area. Savute, which means mystery in the local language, is named after a canal that has been dry for decades and then suddenly fills with water and the dry area transforms into a wetland. The Marsh area in Savute is home to large old solitary male elephants.

After breakfast at the camp, you break up, pack up and drive from the southern part of Chobe National Park towards the northern part, exploring the floodplain. It is a trip of around 170 kilometers and it will take you 5-6 hours with lots of photography stops for the wildlife you meet along the way. Much of the road is along the winding river. You take a lunch break on the road. It's no problem when you have everything with you.

You spend the day on safari exploring the northern part of the floodplain. This is the last full safari day, and you will probably have seen and experienced an incredible amount and gained a lot of new knowledge. The essence of African safari without luxury should be woven into your soul. The last night among the game, around the fire and under the starry sky must be enjoyed. At this time, some of you may well be missing a bath, civilization and everyday life at home. But remember, this safari may have been challenging in terms of comfort, but it will undoubtedly be a treasured memory for life.

There is time for the last safari in Chobe National Park. You drive out and see what surprises the bush around the river has to offer. Then it's off to Victoria Falls, which is a 100 kilometer drive. It takes 2-3 hours including visa and formalities at the border crossing (between Botswana and Zimbabwe).

This travel proposal ends on this day, starting the long journey home after breakfast. You will be driven to the airport in time for your flight home (via Johannesburg to Europe).

Home again. We hope you had a great trip and would recommend Fair Track Safari to your friends and family.
