Botswana Northern Safari
Kasane → Chobe Riverfront → Savuti → Khwai → Moremi → Maun
(The absolute best of northern Botswana in one perfectly paced trip)
This is the iconic “northern circuit” that most experienced safari travellers call the single best 8-day route in Botswana. You start with the elephant-rich Chobe River, move to the predator-famous Savuti Channel, spend time in the private Khwai Community Concession (night drives & walks!), and finish with two nights deep inside Moremi Game Reserve before flying or driving out from Maun.
Package Overview
Here’s a polished and practical 8-day Botswana Northern Safari itinerary in reverse order (starting in Kasane, ending in Maun). This flows logically southward through Chobe’s riverine and woodland zones, hitting the best of Chobe NP (Riverfront + Savuti), Khwai Concession, Moremi Game Reserve, and exiting via Maun. It’s ideal for fly-in guests arriving at Kasane Airport (BBK) and departing from Maun (MUB).
