The Falls are over 5,500 feet across and more than 300 feet high. Each minute, more than 150 million gallons of water form an amazing "wall of water" as they crash to the gorge below.

Day 7 Okavango Delta
One of the highlights of a stay in the Okavango is the excellent bird-viewing. Pels Fishing Owl, reed cormorants, house darters, kingfishers, fish eagles and much more dot the reeds along the water-line. Why not take a mokoro excursion and glide quietly through the water observing wildlife along the way.

Day 8 Okavango Delta / Moremi Reserve
A change of pace today as you move to your camp in the Moremi Reserve, a 275,000 acre sanctuary northeast of the Okavango Delta. The Moremi is known for its population of predators, so be on the watch for lion, cheetah and leopard all on the prowl.

Day 9 Moremi Reserve
Moremi is well known for its large concentration of elephants and you can spend an entire day observing these gentle giants. Thanks to a project to save wild dog, Moremi is one of the few places where wild dog is frequently spotted, so keep your eyes peeled. The reserve is filled with giant mopane trees, distinguished by their butterfly-shaped leaves and their massive height which can reach more than 80 feet high. You might want to take a nature walk and learn more about the vegetation and flora with a knowledgeable guide.

Day 10 Makgadikgadi Pans
The giant salt pans of the Makgadikgadi stand in vast contrast to the fertile Okavango Delta and provide a unique game-viewing experience. After settling into your camp, game viewing might reveal species such as the brown hyena, suricates, gemsbok and the great black-maned Khalihari lion.

Day 11 Makgadikgadi Pans
Your luxury camp is reminiscent of a traditional East Africa safari camp and provides the perfect base for your exploration of the desert wildlife as well as the archaeology of the area. Why not try a quad bike ride on the salt pan - or a walking safari with bushmen trackers. The choice is yours.
