7 days / 6 nights

7-Day Victoria Falls to Okavango Camping Safari

Connect Victoria Falls with Chobe, Savuti, Moremi and the Okavango, finishing in Maun. This seven-day journey combines two resort/lodge nights with four budget-camping nights as you move deeper into Botswana.

All camping safaris

Victoria Falls → Chobe → Savuti → Moremi → Okavango → Maun

From the Falls to the wild interior.

The route moves from the waterfall landscape of Victoria Falls to northern Botswana’s wildlife country, then onwards through Savuti and Moremi to the Okavango Delta. DK’s published itinerary starts with Elephant Hills Resort and Chobe Bush Lodge before switching to budget camping for the next four nights. It is a varied journey with changing landscapes and travel between destinations, rather than seven nights at one camp. Your final day ends in Maun, so arrival and departure flights need to match different points on the route.

Duration: 7 days / 6 nights
Start: Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Finish: Maun, Botswana
Accommodation: 2 resort/lodge nights + 4 camping nights

YOUR DAYS.
OUT THERE.

Destinations, overnight stays and meals follow DK’s published plan. Your quote confirms the activities, timings and current accommodation.

DAY 01

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Welcome to Victoria Falls

Arrive in Victoria Falls and begin the welcome and orientation described in DK’s itinerary. The waterfall and gorge are the setting for your first day, with time to explore according to your arrival and confirmed programme. The published overnight is Elephant Hills Resort, providing a resort start before the camping stages later in the week. Dinner is listed for this day. Confirm airport collection, check-in and whether a guided Falls tour and park entry are included.

Overnight: Elephant Hills Resort, as listed
Meals: Dinner listed

DAY 02

Chobe National Park / Kasane

Chobe is known for its elephants and riverfront wildlife

Cross into Botswana for Chobe

Move from Victoria Falls into Botswana and reach the Chobe area by your confirmed transfer route. Chobe brings a different landscape and a wildlife focus, with elephants among the animals to look for. The published overnight is Chobe Bush Lodge in Kasane, just outside the park. This gives you a lodge night before the budget-camping portion begins. Ask how the day’s game viewing and any boat activity fit around the transfer and border formalities.

Overnight: Chobe Bush Lodge, as listed
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner listed

DAY 03

Chobe National Park

Safari guests viewing a pride of lions beside an open game-drive vehicle — Spend another day in Chobe’s wildlife landscapes

More Chobe, and your first camping night

Stay in the Chobe area for another day of the safari. Having reached the destination the previous day, you can focus on the wildlife experiences in your confirmed programme. Look for movement around the riverfront and bush habitats while allowing your guide to respond to conditions. The overnight changes to budget camping, marking the first of four camping nights. Confirm the campsite, tent setup and daily activities with the team before departure.

Overnight: Budget camping in Chobe
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner listed

DAY 04

Savuti

Journey into Savuti

Continue into Savuti, the Chobe interior known for elephants, predators and a varied landscape. This stage adds a different character to the safari after the Chobe riverfront. Travel and game viewing form part of the day’s confirmed plan, with road conditions influencing the pace. Budget camping is listed for the night. Ask which route and areas are included; landmarks or specialised excursions should only be expected when they appear in your itinerary.

Overnight: Budget camping in the Savuti stage
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner listed

DAY 05

Moremi Game Reserve

Explore Botswana’s bush landscapes by safari vehicle

Explore Moremi Game Reserve

Head into the Moremi stage of the journey, where wildlife country meets the Delta’s changing habitats. The reserve offers varied scenery and opportunities to look for mammals and birds, with sightings dependent on the route and conditions. DK’s itinerary lists another budget-camping night here. Confirm the access route, travel time, game-viewing programme and campsite so you know how the day balances moving between areas with time to explore.

Overnight: Budget camping in the Moremi stage
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner listed

DAY 06

Okavango Delta

Channels and islands give the Okavango its character

Discover the Okavango Delta

Reach the Okavango Delta stage, with its islands, channels and water-shaped scenery. This is a change of perspective after the previous wildlife areas and a chance to experience the Delta activities set out in your final quote. A mokoro outing, boat trip or walk should be confirmed specifically rather than assumed from the destination. Budget camping is listed for your final overnight, bringing the journey’s camping portion to four nights.

Overnight: Budget camping in the Okavango stage
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner listed

DAY 07

Maun / Maun Airport

Finish your journey in Maun

Enjoy the breakfast listed for the final morning and complete the arrangements for reaching Maun. The published route ends in Maun and identifies Maun Airport as the final-day destination, with no accommodation included that night. Agree the transfer and arrival time with the team before booking an onward flight. If you want to add a night in Maun or continue elsewhere in Botswana, ask for that extension separately.

Overnight: No accommodation on the final day
Meals: Breakfast listed
