This is a description of my 2024 trip....it was AMAZING and then some!!!
2026 Botswana trip is HERE NOW.
This luxury trip is designed for photographers. We will be spending 4 nights at Pangolin Lodge, which is near and dear to me! The lodge is dedicated to photography. There are classes available in between morning and afternoon safaris. The boats are designed for photography with chairs that swivel 360 degrees with heads to mount your cameras that makes it a joy to photograph on the water. The guides are knowledgeable about the animals AND how to take pictures, and where the best positions are to get the shots! In addition, there is a hide that can be used to photograph animals at the watering hole at the Pangolin Lodge!
We travel to Victoria Falls and spend a night at Ilala Lodge with an afternoon tour of the falls.
We next fly to Chikunto Lodge , South Luangwa, in Zambia, well known for their big cats. This is a private camp where we are catered and well taken care of for 4 nights.
We return to Livingstone and stay the night at the David Livingstone Safari Lodge. The next day we fly to the Okavengo Delta.
We are staying for 3 nights at Downey and Ker Shindi Footsteps, with safaris twice a day. The lodge is rated 5 stars and is again aware of the needs of the photographers! Located in the Okavango Delta, we will experience a Mokoro cruise, similar to the original dugout canoes, but made of fiberglass. This is another private camp, and we will be the only visitors out on safari!
Optional: This is a 3 day adventure is at an incredible location. The lodge is Dinaka which includes bird/mammal hides and of course, daily safaris. It is located in the Central Kalahari and is also rated a 5 star lodge. Known for the wonderful variety of animals including the famous Kalahari Lions, Cheetahs, and even Wild Dogs. The hide is located on a watering hole that is popular with many animals. It is a bunker style hide in which you are at eye level with the visitors to the hole! Inquire with me regarding pricing.
Your 5 star lodging, meals, drinks, guiding, in country charter flights with increased weights of 25K is all included for $16532 a person, double occupancy. For a single, the cost is $18,390. Not included are International airfares, tips, visas, traveler's insurance, laundry, and items/gifts of a personal nature and ProFlight from Livingstone to Mfuwe and back. This pricing is truly an excellent value for an exclusive, private trip and timing is perfect for seeing animals in comfortable weather without the abundance of crowds.
