Depart from Maun this morning and take a light aircraft charter across the Okavango Delta's maze of waterways to Moremi Game Reserve. This luxurious lodge enjoys a prime position in one of Africa's most exciting wildlife areas. Relax around the bar or swimming pool before taking part in an afternoon game drive or boat cruise and dining this evening in the traditional thatch dining area. The following morning, take an early game drive with a professional Camp Moremi guide to explore this amazing area. Enjoy the variation in the local environment, from expansive, open floodplains and shallow lakes to dense mopane woodland. Accommodation is in luxurious en-suite Meru style tents which are raised on teak decks and secluded in the woodland fringe. |

Transfer by small motor boat through the papyrus lined channels and open lagoons this morning to Camp Okavango, located on a remote island in the depths of the pristine Okavango Delta. Activities here take the form of mokoro (dug out canoe) excursions in the shallow waters surrounding the island, motor boat cruises through the nearby channels and game walks on the surrounding islands.
Enjoy dinner in the thatched dining room overlooking the lush gardens, and perhaps listen for grazing hippos later in the evening while enjoying the ambiance of after dinner drinks around the campfire. Accommodation here is very similar to Camp Moremi, in raised en-suite Meru style tents. There is also a beautiful and luxurious honeymoon suite with a sunken bath and private lounge which may be added to your wedding list. |

Nights 9-11 Chobe river front, Chobe Chilwero Lodge, FI |

The luxurious Chobe Chilwero is situated in the Kasane Forest Reserve bordering the legendary Chobe National Park with splendid views across the Chobe River which is famed for its sunsets and the huge concentrations of elephant that come down to the water's edge to drink.

The lodge also boasts a swimming pool, well-stocked library, wine cellar, gift shop and e-communications centre. In-room health and beauty treatments are available. Wildlife activities are scheduled according to the wishes of guests and the changing habits of the game. Professional guides lead game drives in open 4x4 game viewing vehicles and on water safaris by motorboat. A late afternoon boat cruise heading directly towards the sunset as elephant, hippo, buffalo and a profusion of bird life grace the banks of the river as they quench their thirst is a memorable experience. |

As this itinerary is largely inclusive of activities and meals there are few optional extras that can be included in a wedding present list. However, we suggest that you ask us for a breakdown of activity & meal costs so that friends & family can buy you a mokoro excursion, 4x4 game drive, motor boat birding cruise or a romantic bush dinner etc. Alternatively we can include some optional activities which are available in Livingstone such as a helicopter or micro-light flip over the Falls, bungi jumping, white water rafting or an elephant back safari.
