9 dagen Botswana: de wilderness trail per vliegtuig

Welcome to Botswana. Upon arrival at Maun International Airport, in the north-west of the country, you step into one of southern Africa’s busiest aviation hubs and the undisputed gateway to the legendary Okavango Delta. Even before landing, you are treated to a spectacular preview, with low-altitude vistas over a vast, shimmering mosaic of waterways and islands. Your private driver for the whole trip will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall. He will take you to your lodge, where you can get some rest after your long journey and enjoy genuine Botswana hospitality. This is where your dream safari begins!

A charter flight from Moremi's Xakanaxa Airstrip to Khwai River Airport takes 20 to 30 minutes and links the Xakanaxa Lagoon area with the Khwai Community Concession. The light aircraft flights (operated by Safari Air or Mack Air) skim low over the shimmering waterways of the Okavango Delta, turning the landscape into a living map with winding channels, palm-dotted islands and floodplains teeming with wildlife. Keep an eye out for elephants crossing narrow streams, hippos lazying in the lagoons, and herds of antelope moving like brushstrokes across the grasslands. It’s like a game drive… just with a bird's eye-view.

De Khwai Community Concession, ingeklemd tussen Chobe National Park en Moremi Game Reserve, is de plek waar ongerepte wildernis en gemeenschapszin samenkomen. Denk aan rondzwervende olifanten, sluipende roofdieren, kuddes buffels en glinsterende lagunes -  alles verpakt in één spectaculair safaripark. Voeg daar nog een mokoro-safari in een uitgeholde kano en een bijzondere ontmoeting met de BaBukakhwe-gemeenschap aan toe, en je krijgt een ervaring die even verrijkend als opwindend is.

The Chobe Riverfront stretches along the northern boundary of Chobe National Park, where the Chobe River separates Botswana from Namibia. The whole park is home to over 120,000 elephants - the largest remaining population in the world. Still, during the dry season, the herds gather along the riverfront in extraordinary numbers, alongside buffalo and plains game. Game drives along the riverfront put you in the middle of this, while a boat cruise on the Chobe River brings you eye to eye with hippos, crocodiles and elephants swimming, drinking or just bathing in the sun at the water's edge.

The drive from Chobe Riverfront to Kasane is a short and scenic one, taking 30 minutes. The route is well-traveled by safari vehicles, making it easy to navigate from the wilderness back to town. You might still spot some wildlife along the way, particularly elephants along the riverbank, before exiting the park via Sedudu Gate and driving straight into Kasane. The airport lies just 4 kilometres south of the town cente.
