The Roots & Rivers Circuit

The complete Botswana immersion — from predator country to the Delta, the pans to the river of elephants.

Begin in Maun — the frontier gateway — before flying into the heart of Khwai's predator wilderness. Transfer to the waterways of the Okavango Delta, then cross overland to the ancient silence of the Makgadikgadi Pans. Return to Maun having traversed Botswana's most iconic ecosystems.
