7-Day Makgadikgadi Pans & Okavango Delta Comfort Small-Group Safari

7-Day Makgadikgadi Pans & Okavango Delta Comfort Small-Group Safari is designed as a longer circuit with several changes of setting, following Makgadikgadi Pans and Okavango Delta. Use it as a small-group proposal where departure dates, vehicle occupancy and group routines need to be agreed.

Indicative market benchmark: US$2,817 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.

Okavango Delta

A Delta stay brings channels, islands and floodplain landscapes into the journey. Confirm the camp’s water and land activity mix for your month, including any aircraft luggage limits.

Group size and departure arrangements

First, confirm the departure date, minimum group and maximum people per vehicle. Also, check whether every traveller has a suitable viewing position. A shared itinerary follows the group’s transfer and activity schedule; a private alternative may suit travellers who need more flexibility.

However, the benchmark does not establish that a departure is operating on your dates. Ask how a change in participant numbers affects the price and what happens if the advertised minimum group does not form.

Accommodation and package scope

The research reference is in the mid-range 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$2,817 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.
