The excursion begins with a drive in customized safari vehicles for about 1-2 hrs to the "dock" to board a mokoro (canoe) that takes us deep into the delta. After a 1-2 hrs in the mokoro, arrive to the camp.In the evening, watch a traditional dance performance.

Day 5: Okavango Delta/Nata

Day 7: Kasane/Victoria Falls
Opt for an early morning safari drive in Chobe National Park, before crossing into Zimbabwe. Enjoy lunch at the G Adventures–supported Lusumpuko Women's Club. Take advantage of free time and choose to visit Victoria Falls, or try a helicopter flight over them.
Cross the border to enter into Zimbabwe and continue on to Victoria Falls, arriving in the early afternoon. This is a great base to see natural wonders and take part in some adventure activities.
