Need Your Tips: Self Drive Safari in Okavango & Chobe

November 4th, 2009 by Hakon Kavli

Okavango DeltaThe past few days I have been thinking about what would be the perfect one week itinerary for a self drive in the Okavango, Chobe and Vic Falls region. The reason I have been thinking about this is, naturally, that I intend to do it. In March next year, my family will come down to South Africa, and I want to take them out on a little African adventure. The problem is that we only have one week to see everything! – A common problem in the travel world..

So this is where you come in! Do you have any tips for us??

Any places we must see in Chobe or Okavango? Safari camps, routes, etc?

Any good rental companies where we can find a reliable 4×4? (It should be based in Livingstone or Maun).

I will keep updating this post with all good tips that come in (either from twitter, email or comments on this post). And if you have a website or twitter, please let me know and I will credit your tips with your links.

Thank you very much!!

Each park has it’s own strength and weakness, some are great for bird watching, some for gorilla trekking, some for lions and some for rhinos. You won’t find them all in one safari. Unless you’re extremely lucky. So here is a short guide to help you find the best African Safari National Parks and Game Reserves.
