The trip "Botswana Leopard Trail & Kalahari" starts in Maun and ends in Victoria Falls. This is a wildlife safaris and game drives tour that takes 17 days taking you through Maun, Chobe National Park, Moremi, Okavango Delta and 3 other destinations in Botswana and Zimbabwe. This is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Explore the best of Botswana from the Kalahari to Chobe National Park plus Victoria Falls on a semi-participation safari. This camping trip provides a complete overview of Botswana for those with an adventurous spirit looking to see the wild side of Africa. Few trips can offer such a diverse and stimulating experience as we traverse the country from the vast Kalahari, home to the San Bushmen, to the magnificent game reserves in the north. In the world famous Okavango Delta we explore this wildlife-rich region by traditional mokoro (dug-out canoe) and on foot. Whether you are a wildlife enthusiast or on your first African safari, there are few places on earth that are as impressive as Moremi Game Reserve and the Chobe National Park, where huge herds of elephants roam. We conclude this spectacular adventure with time to visit the thunderous Victoria Falls.
