Welcome to Maun, Botswana! This is where your safari dreams start to become a reality. Watch as the sun sets out over the eternal horizon of the salt pans, or watch lions hunt along the shore of the often-dry Boteti River. It’s all possible in Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, an excellent park that also hosts an annual zebra migration, has meerkats and brown hyenas, and generally sees fewer visitors than most other Botswana parks.
Upon arrival at the Maun Airport, you will be greeted by personnel holding a sign with your name. This individual will escort you to your flight to Leroo La Tau, your first stop on your Botswana safari.
Your 2-night stay at Leroo La Tau is all-inclusive and includes daily scheduled activities (see information below for more details), all meals, refreshments, local spirits, wines (excluding premium brands) and laundry service.
The lodge offers guided game drives in the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park focusing on the exceptional wildlife sightings along the Boteti River. Depending on the water level, boat activities are also provided. Optional cultural excursions can be arranged to Khumaga Village.
Leroo La Tau translates as ‘lion’s paw’ but, although the surrounding area features abundant Lion, Zebra and Wildebeest, it also boasts Chobe Bushbuck, Leopard, Cheetah, Brown and Spotted Hyena, Impala, Kudu, Jackal, Porcupine, Genet and Caracal, to name but a few.
Please note: Owing to their remote location within the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, the Makgadikgadi Pans themselves are not visited on daily scheduled activities from Leroo La Tau.
Sit on your own private deck at Leroo La Tau Lodge and look out over Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, as wildlife comes down to drink at the Boteti River. You can expect to see zebras, elephants, and so much more. Lions and other predators are also possible. The camp itself has large, luxurious bungalows, as well as beautiful public areas, with a bar, restaurant and swimming pool.
Moremi Game Reserve represents all that’s good about the Okavango Delta, both in terms of wildlife (the Big Five is always a possibility) and landscapes. Moremi is a peninsula that unfurls deep into the Delta, and because it is surrounded by water and islands, the wildlife encounters can be incredible. In the water, watch for hippos and crocs. On dry land, there are elephants, big cats and so much more to see.
Today you will be transferred from Leroo La Tau to Camp Xakanaxa via air. Flight time is approximately 45 minutes. Have your camera ready! The views are breathtaking.

The diverse habitat ensures prolific sightings of Elephant, Buffalo, Hyena, Giraffe, Hippo, Wildebeest, Kudu, Lechwe, Lion and Leopard, among many others. Birding here is spectacular as well.

You’re in for a real treat in the Okavango Delta, one of southern Africa’s iconic safari destinations. Partly it’s the landscapes of islands, rivers and lakes that you’ll love, but these are also the backdrop to an astonishing array of wildlife. At a minimum, you’ll see lots of giraffes, elephants, crocs, hippos, zebras, buffaloes and more, and all three of the big cats are often seen as well.

Roam the vast expanses of water from the comfort of a modern motorboat or explore the intricacies of the Okavango Delta the quiet old-fashioned way, in the traditional mokoro (dugout canoe).
For those wanting to get a little closer to nature, guided bush walks are conducted on a number of the nearby islands, offering an opportunity to track some of the larger land-based species that inhabit this water wilderness. Birding opportunities are outstanding and anglers may put their skill against bream and tiger fish. Camp Okavango is a water- based camp and game-drive activities, using safari vehicles, are not possible; however, because you are staying 3-nights at this camp, you will be treated to a scenic helicopter flight over the delta during your stay.

Walkways weave through the shade to the lounge and dining area, as well as to the swimming pool.
