The excitement of a light aircraft flight is next as you fly over the incredible lush waterways of Botswana's Okavango Delta for your stay at the luxurious Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp. You and the kids will explore the surrounding wilderness on day and night safaris, bush walks, mokoro (dugout canoe) and powerboat cruises, getting you up close and personal with African wild dog, lion, leopard, giraffe, elephant, buffalo, hippo and more. Lastly, 5 nights on the tropical island of Mauritius, staying at the outstanding LUX Grand Baie Resort. This leading Mauritian hotel is ideal for families offering Kids & Teens clubs, water sports, land-based sports, and a stunning spa.
