Tailor made:
This trip can be tailor made throughout the year to suit your requirements
From
€2,640
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing African Wild dogs for the first time, as it completed my personal 'Big Five' of Predators. Many other memorable moments, too many to mention.

The most memorable part of the holiday was...The group on the tour, the guide and driver and the numerous elephants we encountered. Okavango delta experience was awesome.
