Begin in Maun and end in Lusaka on this 8-night safari that combines Botswana’s iconic Moremi and Chobe with Zambia’s remote and remarkable Liuwa Plain. From classic game viewing to vast, wild landscapes few have experienced, this journey offers a unique blend of comfort, adventure, and exclusivity. Timed for the wildebeest migration and priced at exceptional value – USD 7,220 per person sharing, including all flights and transfers – this departure is ideal for travellers seeking something truly different.

This exclusive 8-night set departure takes you on a remarkable journey through two of Africa’s most captivating safari destinations. Beginning in Botswana, you’ll explore the wildlife-rich landscapes of Moremi Game Reserve, renowned for its diverse habitats and exceptional game viewing. Continue to Chobe National Park, home to the largest concentration of elephants in Africa and a paradise for photographers.

From there, cross into Zambia for a night on the banks of the Zambezi River before flying to the remote Liuwa Plain National Park, a destination few travelers ever experience. Liuwa is one of Africa’s last great wildernesses, celebrated for its vast open plains, dramatic skies, and thriving wildlife. Because of the camp’s location and the timing of this departure, there’s a good chance you’ll witness Liuwa’s wildebeest migration – the second largest in Africa – as herds gather on the lush summer grazing lands.

Your stay at King Lewanika Lodge, the only permanent camp in Liuwa, is a highlight in itself. This property combines understated luxury with an authentic sense of place, offering sweeping views over the plains and front-row seats to some of Africa’s most dramatic wildlife spectacles.

This one-time-only departure represents exceptional value, with flights and transfers significantly discounted to make this rare itinerary more accessible. Every detail has been carefully curated for seamless travel, so you can focus on the adventure. Whether you are a seasoned safari-goer seeking something different or a traveler drawn to Africa’s wildest spaces, this journey promises a rare and unforgettable experience.

Day 1 and 2: 19-21 December 2025

On arrival in Maun, Botswana you will be met by a representative to assist you with your connection onto a light charter flight to Okuti Camp, a short flight of about 15 minutes. Your allocated guide from Okuti Camp will be waiting on arrival and will transfer your to camp, a game drive of about 25 minutes, depending on sightings along the way. Settle into Okuti for the next 2 nights.

After some refreshments and having been introduced to the camp and team you will set off on your afternoon activity, perhaps a boat excursion along the Khwai River or an action packed game drive. Return during early evening hours for a sumptuous dinner and drinks around the camp fire.

The next morning you awake early with your choice of hot drink delivered to your tent, followed by a light breakfast. Then you are off on your morning drive, exploring the beautiful Xakanaxa area of the Moremi Reserve. This is the beating heart of the Okavango and offers spectacular game viewing. Large herds of antelope graze the plains while cats stalk their prey from the edges. Leopard, lion and even cheetah are all seen here. Returning from your game drive after about 4 hours, you will enjoy brunch and have a couple of hours resting or relaxing by the pool before high tea is served and you set off on your afternoon drive or boat safari. Sundowner drinks will be served by your guide while you are out in the wilderness .Return to camp as it starts to get dark to a roaring fire and appetizing dinner.

Day 3 & 4: 21-23 December 2025

Today, at a time advised the day before by your guide, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your charter flight onto Kasane, followed by a road transfer onto Chobe Game Lodge.

Chobe Game Lodge has an unrivalled position being the only lodge within the famous Chobe National Park- renowned for phenomenal game and record elephant numbers. It’s location makes it a haven of peace and tranquillity away from the crowds.

Arriving to a warm welcome and some refreshments you will have an introduction to the lodge and settle into your room. Chobe Game Lodge is larger than most lodges, meaning it has a superb range of facilities including a swimming pool, gym and spa and a number of eating areas. The boardwalk along the river features a number of places to dine or relax. Keep an eye out for the mongeese who are often seen scurrying about here. This is a perfect spot to ease into your safari.

Your guide will discuss your activity options with you and together you will discuss your preferences. Spend the next two nights exploring the area with daily game drives (in silent electric vehicles) and boat cruises along the river - both quintessential Chobe experiences.

Day 5: 23-24 December 2025

After breakfast and check-out, you will be transferred across the border from Kasane in Botswana to Livingstone in Zambia. Upon arrival at Mukwa River Lodge, settle into your suite and enjoy a relaxed afternoon at the lodge. Later, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in one of the lodge’s included activities—perhaps something on the river or a visit to the falls themselves.

Day 6, 7 & 8: 24-27 December 2025

After breakfast and perhaps a morning activity at Mukwa River Lodge, you will be transferred to Livingstone Airport for your flight to Kalabo Airstrip. Upon arrival, a lodge representative will meet you for the road transfer into the heart of Liuwa Plain National Park, where King Lewanika Lodge awaits. Over the next three nights, you’ll experience one of Africa’s most remote and untouched wilderness areas. Days are shaped by the rhythm of the bush, with twice-daily guided activities that may include game drives, walking safaris, or seasonal explorations of the floodplains. Wildlife sightings are intimate and unhurried, with the chance to encounter wildebeest herds, lions, hyenas, and a rich variety of birdlife. Between activities, enjoy the lodge’s understated luxury, exceptional cuisine, and sweeping views across the plains. On your final morning, you’ll be transferred back to Kalabo Airstrip for your flight to Lusaka, where you’ll connect with your onward international departure.
