Small Hints:

Covering the skin is sometimes better than exposing skin, even in the Deserts
It is nicer to enjoy the trip then to have red burning skin or even Blisters from the sun
Wearing long trousers in the Desert could also protect the legs from sandstorm that could whip up in Seconds .

OKAVANGO DELTA

Located right in the northwestern corner of Botswana it is also known as the Jewel of the Kalahari.
Waters from the Okavango River seeps into the dry and barren sands of the Kalahari Desert and forms this rich oasis.
The whole delta is about 16 835 square km/ 6500 square miles big
Cut of from human destruction for the better part of the 19th century it is still unspoiled and very much still in its natural state.
The Moremi National park is where we would be going, has 3 camps where we could make our bookings.
Come see the big herds that roam this vast and unspoiled wilderness
Four of the Big Five could be found together with 57 other mammals' species
Bird's life numbers could go up to 500 different species of birds
Camps cites provide for camping style accommodation and the chances of having animals in and around the campsite are an every day occurrence adding to the real Wild Adventures.
Having lions roar at night and the unspoiled beauty of the night sky with no light pollution- what more could one ask for?

SAVUTI NATIONAL PARK

Just north of Moremi National park it shares in the vastness of the place and the animals
Lions in this park and in Chobe have mastered the skill of predating on the biggest of mammals in Africa and are also known to have brought down Elephant.
Landscapes are a lot different from that of Moremi and more pans and sand flats, with beautiful granite outcrops or koppies seen.
Rich mopani woodlands support the huge number of Elephant roaming these areas.
The Central camp is where we could make camp and being the same as Moremi, having elephants and other animals in camp is just wonderful
This is REAL AFRICA!

CHOBE NATIONAL PARK

Once again just North of Savuti NP on the Chobe River it is once again unique overlooking vast floodplains and unspoiled nature,
Looking over the Chobe River you could look right into Namibia and Zambia.
Seeing herds of Buffalo and Elephant on the Flood plains with many other game and later in the trip go on a Sunset Cruise on the Chobe River and see Hippo's and Croc's and a countless number of birds.
Do some sport fishing on the Chobe; Tiger Fish are famous fighters and a real thrill to catch! All will have to be released back into the river.
Sleep under the starlit skies and enjoy the night sound of animals and birds.
