On this 12 night itinerary we will work out of a base camp called Kujwana. This is situated on the Xudum river in the Delta. We then use two other camps in different areas of the concession. All these camps are well situated in big game areas. They are chosen for the variety of terrain & species that favour particular areas.
Wake up is 1 hour before dawn to ensure best game viewing. Wade through lush green malapos that lead you from island to island. Surprise a timid bushbuck out of dense cover on a heavily wooded island, or enjoy the herds of Lechwe & Zebra moving through the open spaces. Return to camp for lunch. Siesta. Afternoon game drive with sunset drinks & evening night drive with a spot light.
Kujwana Camp. Ride east towards Beacon and Lion island. These are two very large islands in the area, cut off from Kujwana by the Xwaapa river. The area is criss-crossed with game paths leading you through a chain of rain pans. This is in great contrast to the open flood plains. Mapane forests and Acacia woodlands offer a good variety of food for Kudu and Giraffe. Breeding herds of elephant enjoy the security of the dense forest and should the pans be holding water zebra, wilderbeest and buffalo will also be found.
Fly Camp. Move from Moklowane riding north east towards the Kiri river. The fly camp is situated on the Kiri river system approximately 30km from Moklowane, on the border with Moremi Game reserve. (The term "fly camp" comes from the days when you moved your fly sheet off your permanent tent to make a temporary or simple camp. In our case we use dome two man tents.)
