An example of an itinerary for a
4 day inner Delta Boating / Mokoro Safaris
(water levels permitting)

Day 1
Depart from "The Old Bridge" Maun 10am on day one by motor-boat first on the Thamalakane river then up the Boro river.
After the first 45 minutes passing through a rural setting we then cross the "Buffalo fence" and enter the Okavango Delta proper.
The next 4 hours is spent game and bird watching while navigating the reed channels of the southern Okavango on our way up to Chiefs island.
A light lunch of cold meats and salads will be served en-route.
We arrive at our camp at Nxaraga lagoon (19*33'42.21"S 23*12'23.32"E) at around 3pm, settle in and take a rest in the shade for a couple of hours.
At around 5pm depart on foot with a guide for a short 1 hour game walk around Nxaraga island to stretch you legs.
Arrive back before sunset which we enjoy with hippos from the boat on the middle of Nxaraga lagoon.
Arrive back shortly before dark to a warmed bucket shower and a hearty campfire cooked dinner.
Retire at your leasure to your tent to fall asleep to the sounds of the Okavango.

Day 2
Wake up call at 5:30am for those wanting to go on an early morning walk.
Coffee/tea and rusks will be served for those wanting something before the walk.
6am depart on foot with a guide for a three hour game walk, other than plains game there is a very real chance to spot the elusive leopard and bushbuck in the forests on the fringes of Nxaraga island.
.Arrive back from your game walk to a full english breakfast
Depart from Nxaraga at around midday, stop for a quick splash at a shallow sandbank to cool off.
Continue upstream for 2 hours gameviewing on the way. On this part of the river there is a good chance to find elephants playing in the river to ease the midday heat.
We will serve a light lunch en-route.
Arrive at Xaxaba campsite ( 19*31'55.07"S 23*04'36.99"E ) at around 3pm, settle in and relax for a couple of hours.
This campsite is one of the few places that Chiefs island actually borders on the mainstream of the Boro river so the gamewalking possibilities are endless.
At around 5 pm depart on foot for a one and a half hour game walk.
Arrive back shortly before dark to a warmed bucket shower and a hearty campfire cooked dinner.
Retire at your leasure to your tent to fall asleep to the sounds of the Okavango and most probably lions on Chiefs island.

Day 3
Wake up call at 5:30am for those wanting to go on an early morning walk.
Coffee/tea and rusks will be served for those wanting something before the walk.
6am depart on foot with a guide for a three hour game walk. Chiefs island being the biggest landmass in the Okavango delta offers the chance of seeing any or all of the game that this region has to offer.
Arrive back from your game walk to a full english breakfast.
Depart at 10am with guides in a Mokoro (traditional canoe) for a 3 hour cruise along side channels that are not navigable by motorboat.
Meet the motorboat upstream and say goodbye to your Mokoro poler/guides.
From there we go upstream to Jugu-jugu island for a light lunch. We will then spend the rest of the day game and bird viewing from the boat. This is one of the most spectacular settings that the Okavango delta has to offer. The wide open plains of this area is home to a large number of red lechwe (a semi aquatic antelope), lots of Crocodiles and birds.
Arrive back shortly before dark to a warmed bucket shower and a hearty campfire cooked dinner.
Retire at your leisure to your tent.
