LOCATION

NXAI PAN, MOREMI GAME RESERVE & KWANDO RESERVE

This wildlife photo safari starts in Maun, the safari capital of Botswana. We will visit three major wildlife destinations during this tour, all of which are extremely remote, requiring travel by air to each destination. 

Our first destination is Nxai Pan, a large salt pan located in the Kalahari Desert. This location shows the harsh desert environment that many animals call home. Wildlife includes Lion, Zebra, Giraffe, Hyena, Elephant and more. 

From Nxai Pan, we fly into the southern bit of the Okavango Delta, known has Moremi Game Reserve. This vast wetland is ideal for hippo photography along with spotting elephants trailing through the waters to stay cool and hydrated. With the lodge right on the water, chances to spot wildlife from the lodge is very likely. 

The last stop on this photo safari is Kwando Reserve in the Northern most part of Botswana, bordering Namibia. This bushland area is home to many predators with our favourite being the African Wild Dog. Others include many Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and Hyena. Photograph Elephants from the lodge as they wander through the grounds
