Day 2
Moremi Game Reserve Enjoy breakfast in the first light of day and head out in the safari vehicles for your introduction to some of the animals of the dry floodplain environment. Today, you will be looking for zebra, wildebeest, impala and predators such as wild dog and cheetah. Return to camp for lunch and a siesta. Head out for sundowners after consuming an embarrassingly large spread of tea and cakes. Park at the edge of a lagoon and watch herds of elephant and a myriad of birds coming down to drink whilst the sun sets and you are given an informal talk on the geological history of the area. Return to camp for a sumptuous dinner. Overnight at Mobile Camp - UA. |

Day 3
Moremi Game Reserve After breakfast, take a slow drive to the lagoon’s edge and board a boat to explore the waters of the Delta. The deep open lagoons provide a wonderful contrast in habitat after the dry forest areas and floodplains of your first camp. Putt along the maze of channels, stopping to admire rare birds and the diversity of aquatic life. Spot small crocodiles basking in the sun and hippos jousting for territories with spectacular splashes and clashes of jaws and some serious dental equipment. Learn about the ecology of the waters and look at all the important components of the ecosystem. Overnight at Mobile Camp - UA. |

Day 4
Moremi Game Reserve Rise early and after a short walk around the island, hop back into your boat for a meander through the waterways, absorbing the tranquillity of the lagoons and narrow, papyrus-fringed, hippo trails. This will allow you to immerse yourself completely in the incredible spectacles that the Delta has to offer. Search out hippo and bathing elephants to understand the importance of the Okavango to these enormous creatures. Marvel at the majesty of elephants from only a few yards away as they wash and feed on the roots of aquatic plants. Drift back to the vehicles. Picnic and siesta in the arms of a giant shady baobab. Spend the afternoon seeking out hyaena dens and, as the day cools down, watch for hunting cats. Head on to camp for a refreshing shower and delectable dinner. Overnight at Mobile Camp - UA. |

Day 5
Moremi Game Reserve After a hearty breakfast, head out for the whole day to explore the wider area around your second camp. Search out the creatures and plants typical of the ecosystem and explore the relationships of species and the systems in which they live. Seek out the elusive predators such as lion, cheetah and leopard and observe and interpret their behaviour. Picnic and siesta under a shady mangosteen. Spend your afternoon seeking out your favourite species. Leopard spotting, lion tracking, cheetah chasing and dog discovering. If you want to watch lions mating for two hours or prefer to watch bee eaters hawking insects on the wing then so be it. Return to camp for your final delicious dinner - tired, but very happy. Overnight at Mobile Camp - UA. |
