Once you've arrived in Johannesburg and cleared customs and immigration, a representative from African Sky will be waiting for you as you enter the arrivals hall.

Once formalities are completed, you'll be escorted to the appropriate departure terminal, where you'll be assisted in boarding a local flight to Hoedspruit, a small tourism and agriculturally orientated town in the central Lowveld just outside the famous Kruger National Park.

You'll be met and transferred to your overnight accommodations in the nearby Sabi Sand Game Reserve on arrival. Here, you will have the opportunity to experience the romance of the African bush first-hand. After an exhilarating first-afternoon game drive, enjoy a delicious meal around a roaring campfire under the starry night sky. Arathusa is one of the more secluded lodges, affording guests a relaxing and intimate African bush encounter.

The sunset cruise on the Chobe River is one of Africa's most magical safari experiences, with sightings of vast herds of buffalo, elephants, and numerous other species approaching the river for water. Birdsong fills the air, and the haunting cry of the fish eagle adds to the wonder.

Day 8-9

Chobe National Park

Overnight: Chobe Game Lodge
Meals: Full Board

Highlights

  • Unique Wilderness
  • Views Across the Chobe River
  • Daily Safari Activities

Chobe National Park

Your activities in Chobe alternate between daily open 4x4 game drives in the park - mostly keeping reasonably close to the river - and water-based game viewing on the Chobe River, arguably the single most rewarding wildlife activity in Southern Africa today. Chobe National Park finds itself at the core of the Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. The Chobe riverfront where your lodge is located is a hive of wildlife activity, one of a handful of 'must see' hotspots on the African continent.

The floodplain, close to the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi rivers, is an oasis in an often harsh and unforgiving environment. Hundreds of hippos, large Nile crocodiles, and an incredible variety of birdlife are just some of the animals encountered here. The floodplain is home to Botswana's only puku antelope population. Elephant herds numbering in the hundreds are regularly seen during the late afternoon, sometimes swimming across one of the many channels. Close encounters are all but guaranteed. Buffalo often wade across to the perennially green islands for better grazing. Lions, spotted hyenas, wild dogs, and leopards are sometimes sighted along the riverbank. Many species of antelope, including the impressive sable, are common. Giraffes, zebra, impala, and wildebeest are frequently sighted on game drives. A lucky few will find themselves witnesses to a 'kill.'
