This 8 night sample itinerary encompasses a two night stay at Victoria Falls followed by an exciting safari in the Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta. There a number of different ways to travel around Botswana and the following is an example of how to do a week on safari in the country taking in two of its best game viewing areas, Chobe and the Okavango Delta. An additional couple of days on a desert experience in the Kalahari or Makagadikgadi can add even more variety to this safari. This safari can very easily be tailored to better suit your own personal requirements, simply chat to one of Mahlatini’s travel experts who will best advise you of your options. In many cases guests like the idea of a twin centre holiday combining the safari in Botswana with a beach holiday in KwaZulu Natal in South Africa, Mozambique or Mauritius or enjoy a city break in Cape Town. What you choose is dependent on season, how much time you have on your hands and of course your budget.
