Ten luxury, thatched chalets overlook the Zambezi River, and have en-suite facilities including a bath, shower, toilet and basin. All the rooms have fans. The rooms are all completely open in the front giving guests the best possible views of the Zambezi. The main dining room, lounge, and pub area also has an interesting library. The Victoria Falls is one of the 7 Wonders of the World and is arguably the greatest waterfall in the world. Daily trips to the Falls are a highlight.

The Zambezi National Park is located just across the river, and lion calls can often be heard at night. A rich bird life is found in the area. Hippos are regularly sighted (and heard) along the river’s edge.

Transfer from the River Club to Livingstone Airport for your light aircraft transfer to Kasane Airport in Northern Botswana. On arrival, you will be met and assisted onto your light aircraft transfer to DumaTau in the Linyanti for two nights accommodation on a full board basis including daily activities and all local drinks.

DumaTau is a 8-roomed luxury tented camp, in a private 125 000 hectare Linyanti Wildlife Reserve which borders onto the western boundary of Chobe National Park in northern Botswana.  The camp is built under a shady grove of mangosteen trees, overlooking a large hippo-filled lagoon within the Linyanti waterway system. The source of the Savuti Channel is close to the camp and game drives up the Savuti is one of the highlights of the area. The rooms are raised off the ground and are under thatch with canvas walls, allowing guests to enjoy the night sounds of Africa from the comfort of their beds. The bathroom facilities are en-suite and each room has an additional outside shower. There is a dining room, pub, lounge, plunge pool and a guest toilet with a fantastic view. The region has all the habitat diversity to make it a haven for wildlife. Activities are diverse and allow guests time on the water, on land and on foot.  Day and night game drives are conducted in open 4x4 vehicles along the Savuti Channel and the banks of Linyanti River. There are many hides in the area where guests can enjoy wildlife viewing away from a vehicle. One of the best is right at the source of the Savuti and many species of game and birdlife can usually be enjoyed from this hide. The area is famous for its Elephant. Huge herds congregate in winter along the waterways and lagoons.  During these dry months Sable and Roan traverse the flood plains, along with Impala, Zebra, Giraffe, Wildebeest, Lechwe, Tsessebe and other plains game in the area.

Day 5 & 6:

Light aircraft transfer from DumaTau to Vumbura for two nights accommodation on a full board basis including daily activities and all local drinks.

Vumbura (pronounced Vuumbera) is an eight-roomed luxury tented camp situated to the north of Mombo, in a private concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve in the extreme north of the Okavango Delta.  Vumbura offers both water and land activities. Mekoros (dug-out canoes) traverse the flood plains under the guidance of polers from the BaYei tribe, who have been using mekoros as their traditional form of transport for hundreds of years.  Boats take guests onto the larger and deeper areas of water (water levels permitting). Open 4x4 Land Rovers allow close proximity to animals in the savannah areas.  This is possibly the only area in the Okavango where one can see Red Lechwe from a mokoro in the morning, then a Sable antelope from a game vehicle in the afternoon.  Add in Lion, Leopard, Elephant and Buffalo along with all the plains game, and one has an excellent all round game experience in a remote corner of the Okavango. Walks on the islands give guests the opportunity to enjoy Africa from a different perspective. Each one of the rooms has en-suite facilities with hot and cold running water, a shower, and flush toilets. Each room has an outdoor shower under the stars!  The main dining, lounge and pub area is tucked beneath a canopy of indigenous trees with a superb view across the floodplain.  The camp has a plunge pool. Access into this area is only by aircraft and then by vehicle to camp. if the waters are high in winter, we may have to access the camp by mokoros or boat.

Day 7 & 8:

Light aircraft transfer from Vumbura to Chitabe for two nights accommodation on a full board basis including daily activities and all local drinks.

Chitabe is a luxurious 8-roomed, tented camp built on one of the most beautiful islands in the Okavango Delta, in a private area that is bordered on three sides by the Moremi Game Reserve.  The area is surrounded by waterways and lagoons that harbours a wonderful variety of wildlife.  Accommodation consists of eight spacious East African style tents that are built on elevated wooden decks, beneath the lush tree canopy.  Each tented room has en-suite facilities with flush toilets, and a shower and basin with hot and cold running water.  The thatched dining area, lounge and pub are also raised on decks overlooking the surrounding flood plains.  A pool allows guests to cool off from the heat of the day. Activities consist of day and night game drives in open 4x4 vehicles accompanied by an experienced guide.  Shorter nature walks are sometimes offered. Game viewing is good, and includes Buffalo, Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Reedbuck, Lechwe, Impala, Zebra and Hippo.  Wild dogs are also sometimes sighted.
