After breakfast, take a road transfer from Victoria Falls to the Botswana border where you will be met on arrival and taken into the heart of Chobe National Park for three nights at Chobe Game Lodge. Chobe Game Lodge is the only permeant lodge situated within the national park, meaning that your game drives involve more time in the national park looking for wildlife.

LOWER ZAMBEZI NATIONAL PARK
This morning enjoy a private sunrise breakfast cruise along the Chobe River, where you will spot wildlife from the banks of the river and enjoy the sounds of snorting hippos and birds calling and singing to bring in the new day.
The Chobe River and its lush floodplains form the northern boundary of Chobe National Park and are the park's lifeblood. The water naturally draws an abundance of wildlife and provides a beautiful scenic backdrop, especially at sunrise and sunset. Lodges take advantage of wildlife congregating on the water's edge by providing boat cruises along the Chobe River. Here it is common to see enormous herds of elephants, basking crocodiles and hippos. The riverfront supports Botswana’s only population of puku (an antelope that is rarely seen in safari). (B,L,D)

LOWER ZAMBEZI NATIONAL PARK
This morning enjoy one last game drive in Chobe or perhaps take the opportunity to sleep in (it is your honeymoon after all) before driving 40 minutes through the bush to Kasane Airport. Take a 60 min flight deep into the heart of Okavango Delta to Camp Okavango. The flight into the delta is beautiful as the land changes from dry bushland to a watery paradise filled with lagoons, swamps, and channels. It is common to spot elephants crowded around a waterhole on your flight, so have your camera ready.
The afternoon is an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience as you enjoy a one-hour helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta. Seeing the Okavango Delta by air is a different experience and allows you to see this significant and dynamic ecosystem more fully. Spot elephants, large herds of buffalo, hippos, giraffes and numerous other species. Land on the remote island, you will have entirely for yourself and enjoy champagne sundowner drinks. (B,L,D)

The wide variety of habitat and vegetation produces a perfect opportunity for wildlife to flourish. Vast herds of impala are found in the area, while in the dry season, large herds of buffalo, wildebeest and zebra flock into the reserve from the Kalahari in search of food and water. With this abundance of prey so too comes the predators. Lions, leopards, hyenas, cheetahs and wild dogs can all be found in the area.
