Day 1
Fly from New York or Washington DC on South African Airways to Johannesburg.
Day 2
On arrival at Johannesburg's O.R. Tambo International Airport you will be met by a representative of Lion World Tours and transferred to your 5-star hotel in Johannesburg
Accommodation: The Michelangelo Hotel
Located on Nelson Mandela Square, one of the largest open public spaces in the country, the 5-star Michelangelo offers world-class facilities in a stylish and elegant setting with easy access to Africa’s finest shops, restaurants, cinemas and theatres. The Michelangelo is a proud member of the ‘Leading Hotels of the World’.

The rooms and suites have all been tastefully decorated to reflect the elegant Renaissance style that has been carried throughout the rest of the hotel.

All rooms have private bathrooms with a separate shower and toilet, hairdryers, radio, colour TV, pay movie channel, 24-hour CNN and CNBC, Internet, electronic razor plug (220/110V), complimentary tea & coffee and mini bar.
Day 3
This morning you will be transferred from the hotel to Johannesburg airport for your flight to Maun.

When you arrive in Maun you will be met and assisted to your light charter flight to your camp in the Okavango Delta.

You will spend 3 nights at Kwetsani Camp on an all inclusive basis, including all meals, game viewing activities and drinks (excluding premium brands)
Accommodation: Kwetsani (B,L,D)
Kwetsani, one of the most remote camps in the Okavango, is situated on a magnificent elongated island covered with palm, mangosteen and fig trees. You will feel a part of nature here as you make your home in one of the five beautifully furnished “tree-house” thatched units with en-suite bathroom. Open and airy, the wood, glass and canvas make for a splendid setting. The dining and lounge area, under a cool thatched roof, leads out onto an expansive wooden deck overlooking the floodplain. A short walkway will take you to the plunge pool where you can watch wildlife from the comfort of your sun lounger.
Days 4 and 5
Spend these days enjoying game viewing by mekoro, boat trips, guided walks (on request) and game drives. There are also two platform hides in the concession.

Water-loving red lechwe are in abundance which attract big predators such as lion and leopard. Other game includes tsessebe, giraffe, elephant, hippo and crocodile, occasional sitatunga and regular spotted-necked otter.
Birding is exceptional with large concentrations of endangered Wattled Crane, Slaty Egret and Lesser Jacana
Accommodation: Kwetsani (B,L,D)
Day 6
After a final game drive in the Okavango Delta, you will be transferred by light charter aircraft to the Linyanti Game Reserve and your next camp.

Spend 3 nights at Duma Tau on an all inclusive basis including all meals, game viewing and drinks (excluding premium brands)
Accommodation: Duma Tau (B,L,D)
Overlooking the broad Linyanti River, DumaTau means ‘roar of the lion’, but it is the large herds of elephant for which the area is most well-known. These – and much more – can be seen on game drives or from your spacious tented unit. There are ten luxurious, canvas-roofed en-suite tents – eight twin and two family units – all with wide-angle views of the river. The same spectacular vistas can be seen from our expansive open deck, the dining room and lounge areas. With easy access to a range of habitats, you can look forward to excellent wildlife viewing all year round – prolific plains game along with abundant predators.
Days 7 and 8
The activities on offer are day and night game drives, guided walks (on request) and seasonal boating. Nearby platforms and hides also present excellent wildlife opportunities.

Red lechwe, zebra, giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and spotted hyaena are some of the other species that can be found in the area.
DumaTau is a birder’s paradise. The area has been internationally recognised as an IBA (Important Bird Area).
Accommodation: Duma Tau (B,L,D)
