Family Okavango Delta & Mozambique
Per Person Sharing
10 days
Experience a safari and beach holiday with a difference – this 10-day adventure blends the astonishing wildlife of Botswana’s legendary Okavango Delta with the beaches of Mozambique’s dazzling Bazaruto Archipelago.
Kick off with a safari into the teeming floodplains and forests of the Okavango Delta as you enjoy tranquil canoe rides and dramatic 4X4 game drives from perfectly located Camp Moremi and Xugana Island Lodge.
Then fly to Vilanculos in Mozambique via Johannesburg and transfer to Azura for four days in the sun. Island hop around the Bazaruto Archipelago, go deep-sea fishing, scuba dive, or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean or simply relax on the resort’s white sandy beaches.
Camp Moremi offered the best animal encounters – a huge bull elephant charged us with trunk and trumping, a lion kill, hippos out of water and close up.
Your adventure begins with a flight from Johannesburg to Maun in Botswana where you’ll transfer to your charter flight, bound for Camp Moremi, a stunning tented bush camp situated on the Xakanaxa Lagoon part of the permanent wetlands of the Okavango Delta and in Moremi Game Reserve, your base for the next two nights.
Explore the spectacular Okavango Delta by boat, 4X4 or mokoro – a traditional dugout canoe – after which you can enjoy the sunset and dinner on the outdoor dining deck.
One of Africa’s great wildlife regions, the Okavango Delta has a widely diverse ecosystems thanks to its eclectic mix of habitats. There are thriving populations of classic African mammals such as lion, elephant, buffalo and leopard along with aquatic species like hippo and crocodile. The bird watching is phenomenal and the general game viewing is always great at any time of year.

Xugana was a smaller lodge and more to our liking. Again, the accommodation was comfortable and had all we needed for our stay. The water safaris were a new experience for us and very enjoyable. The nature walk was a welcome change from sitting still for hours on trips out. On our last night, we were treated to a special dinner out on the lagoon with just ourselves and a member of staff serving food and drinks. It was a wonderful end to this leg of the holiday.
After breakfast, embark on a dramatic boat transfer through the winding waterways of the Okavango Delta to Xugana Island Lodge – an initmate lodge set among a grand canopy of trees. Have lunch and set out to explore the world’s largest inland delta on an afternoon game drive that turns into a dusk drive as you head back to camp after sundowner drinks.
The next morning continue your exploration of the area on a tranquil mokoro ride, go bird watching or head out on foot for a guided nature walk. Embark on another game drive in the late afternoon, and as you head home in the early evening, keep a close eye out for the Delta’s nocturnal animals that are starting to become active.
