7 Days | 6 Nights - Mokowane & Little Sable
Spend 7 days getting to enjoy some of the best game viewing in the Okavango Delta at Mokolwane in the Xudum concession and Little Sable in the Khwai Private Reserve. Both areas offer a game-rich and immersive safari experience. Mokolwane is tucked away in 180 000-hectares of wilderness and this is leopard country, boasting the third highest density recorded anywhere in Africa. At Little Sable, with 200,000 hectares to play with, you can expect close encounters with a wide variety of diverse and abundant wildlife including the rarer seen ones. A prime destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife photographers, whether you are a seasoned safari-goer or a first-time visitor, you’ll be exploring the best the Okavango Delta has to offer.
From Maun airport you will get in a private helicopter and fly straight out to Mokolwane, over the iconic Okavango Delta with birds-eye views of this wetland wonder below, before landing near camp. Big on adventure, Mokolwane is a small, relaxed camp in one of the largest concessions in the Okavango Delta. Teeming with herds of elephant and all the Okavango predators, it’s no surprise that National Geographic and Netflix filmmaker Brad Bestelink has chosen to base himself here.
Sleep in total comfort, 10 feet above the ground, amongst the shady bows of fig, jackal berry, ilala palm and wild mangosteens. Over the next 3 days your private guide will reveal the wonders of this exclusive and impressive concession in Botswana. Spend your mornings, afternoons and early evening on game drives and mokoro excursions exploring this beautiful yet diverse ecosystem, ticking off birds and wildlife (especially big cats) at a rate of knots.
Little Sable is where you will spend your next three days. This intimate, tented safari camp is located amid the water channels and shimmering grasslands of the Khwai Private Reserve. Up here, there’s something to see around every corner and a different land or water-based activity to enjoy every day.
Bursting with all the signature wildlife, the reserve has an excellent reputation for hiding the rarer species of the animal kingdom, including wild dogs, serval cats, honey badgers and the elusive pangolin. With only 8 traditional-style tents, you’ll enjoy the understated simplicity of camp. From the extended outside decking and large firepit you can quietly sit and admire the wide open views and beyond.
This safari starts and ends in Maun in Botswana. Peak season for the Okavango Delta is between April and October. During these dry winter months, water from the Angolan highlands arrives and water levels in the Delta are high, offering the best conditions for mokoro and boat activities and exceptional game viewing opportunities as wildlife is drawn to the water from the surrounding dry areas. The summer season brings the much-longed-for rains and alongside mind-bogglingly beautiful sunsets and thunderstorms, you’ll notice plenty of newborns springing around the plains. Birding at this time of year is also excellent as the migrants return from their various corners of the globe.
