Fauna

​

The Mapungubwe National Park is a “big five” park. The habitat is suitable for both white and black rhinoceros. Bird life is widely recognised to be amongst the best in the country.

Chobe Safari Lodge, located on the banks of the Chobe River in northern Botswana, is the best destination for serious game viewers. The Park is home to over 80 000 elephants as well as numerous herds of buffalo. There are plenty to choose from when it comes to food venues. The Sedudu Bar, overlooking the Sedudu Island in the Chobe river, is the place to unwind with a sundowner.

​

Of all the activities offered (including mokoro safaris, guided walks, game drives, fishing, birdwatching and visits to the Xaxaba village), the helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta is surely the highlight.
