You overnight in a mobile camp on the Ntwetwe Salt pan where you can settle down around a roaring camp fire in time to watch the most spectacular African sunset! You are then served a 3-course meal around a candle lit dining table while enjoying the solitude of the salt pan. You can then head off for bed to snuggle down into the warm and cosy bedrolls whilst watching the night sky pass right above your head (our overnights are a favourite with astronomers and anyone keen to see the Milky Way in all its glory)!

Day 5-Meerkat Visit

In the morning after breakfast we visit a colony of Meerkats, who live on the edge of the Ntwetwe salt pan. With a little luck we have the once in a life time opportunity to observe their natural behaviours and charming personalities from almost touching distance as they emerge from their burrow to enjoy the warm morning sun. We can also include a ride on the saltpans with quad bike (surcharge) for those who enjoy an adrenaline rush!

We then continue to the Okavango Delta for an authentic camping safari deep inside the watersystem. The tour starts with a 1h speedboat cruise to the Buffalo Fence.

At the buffalo fence you meet your poler, who will take you on an unforgettable journey through the channels of the Okavango. Born and raised in the Okavango Delta, our polers and guides show you their home which they are very pationate and knowledgable about. Our experienced polers take you on a journey deep in the watersystem. Enjoy the peace of the delta in a Mokoro, the traditional onetree-canoe.
