7-Day Makgadikgadi Pans & Moremi & Zambezi Region & Chobe River Luxury Private Safari is designed as a longer circuit with several changes of setting, following Makgadikgadi Pans, Moremi, Zambezi Region and Chobe River. Use it as a private proposal with room to adjust departure times and the daily pace.
Indicative market benchmark: US$5,630–9,485 per person, checked on 26 October 2026 against SafariBookings operator listings. This is a planning reference for a comparable route, not a confirmed Book Safari Tours rate or reserved departure. A dated quotation must confirm accommodation, transport, permits, taxes and inclusions. The meal table follows the researched reference programme; the final quotation confirms the services reserved for your party.
How the journey flows
Botswana offers contrasting experiences in the Okavango, Chobe and the drier Kalahari and pans. The choice between a mobile camp, a lodge circuit and light-aircraft transfers changes both the budget and the character of the trip. Water levels and concession access influence the activities available.
Check each day alongside its transfers. In particular, allow for pickup times and road or flight connections before counting a full wildlife-viewing day.
Why choose this route
Makgadikgadi Pans
The pans create a major landscape contrast to the river and Delta regions. Activities depend on surface conditions; a dry-pan outing should not be assumed in every month.
Moremi
A Moremi stage gives a Botswana journey a dedicated game-drive focus within the wider Okavango system. On a mobile trip, establish whether camping is serviced or participatory and what bathroom facilities are provided.
Zambezi Region
Namibia’s northeastern river corridor lends itself to wetland and cross-border combinations. Name every border and park in the proposal and verify whether vehicle cross-border permissions are included.
Chobe River
Time on or beside the river offers a useful complement to game drives. Specify the boat duration, departure point and shared or private arrangement in the quote.
Private travel and accommodation choices
A private safari should define what is exclusive to your party. Road transport may be private while a lodge’s activities or a scheduled flight remain shared. Ask for those distinctions in writing, along with the camp names, room categories and exact number of nights at each base.
Accommodation and package scope
The research reference is in the luxury category. However, it is a starting point for discussion, not a hotel reservation. Then compare the proposed properties by their location, access to activities, room setup and meal plan. A tented camp can offer very different facilities from a basic campsite, even when both appear in the same broad budget search.
Next, request one itemised proposal. It should cover accommodation nights, game drives or guided visits, transfers, park charges, meals and drinking water. However, an activity mentioned as a possibility is not automatically included. Named hotels in third-party research are not evidence of a partnership or available rooms.
Prices, seasons and what can change
The researched USD reference is US$5,630–9,485 per person. Other displayed currencies are indicative conversions using the 2026-10-23 reference rates: USD 1 = EUR 0.89342, GBP 0.74804 and CAD 1.3995. Converted amounts are rounded up to whole currency units and are not exchange-rate guarantees.
Also, room sharing, the travel month, vehicle occupancy, domestic flights and permit availability can all change the final amount. Therefore, ask for the price for your exact party and dates. Include any single supplement, child arrangements and mandatory charges. Finally, check international airfare, entry documents, insurance, tips and optional excursions.
Confirm whether each camp actually offers land drives, boating or mokoro outings during your dates. An Okavango address does not automatically mean that every water activity operates throughout the year.
Cross-border connections
In addition, this route crosses national borders. Next, the written proposal should identify each flight or road crossing, any guide or vehicle handover, and time for border checks. Check entry and transit requirements for each traveller’s passport through the relevant official authorities before paying for non-refundable travel.
