Fairly dense woody vegetation covers the area, which is therefore an ideal home for browsers and their hunters. Look out for predators such as lion, hyena, wild dog and leopard. Black rhino may also be found in the area. As our game drives are flexible for the duration of our stay, we might have time to cover some more vegetation zones. In the south -east of the park, we will see the eco-zone that is described as 'Southern Plains.' Scattered Knob-thorn Acacia and Marula Trees dominate these open grasslands. Because of the vast flatness there are no slopes for water to run downhill to create rivers. The rain often pools in depressions to form numerous pans. This is therefore an ideal home for large herds of zebra and wildebeest, which are often found together with their hunters and main predators being lion, cheetah and hyena. Special species such as tsessebe and reedbuck may also be found in the area. We can also visit the museum in one of the Rest Camps and relax at a picnic site along the Sabie River.

You will also be able to see some of Africa's most celebrated animals from your seat - 500 FT above the ground. The Moremi forms an intricate part of the Okavango Delta, comprising permanently swamped areas and dry land. It is probably the prime tourist destination in Botswana. The landing strip is close * to each of the 4 choices of Tented Safari Lodges, from where porters assist in carrying your luggage (which is restricted to 10 -12 kg packed in soft manageable small bags because of limited weight/space in the light aircraft). (* = Note that lodge - options 3 - and 4 require a +- 5-10 minute easy walk.) The main activities at all these lodge-options are guided by experienced local guides who have spent their lives accumulating knowledge and understanding of the complex ecosystem of the Okavango Delta. As they show how to silently observe nature with minimal impact you will begin to realize the privilege and quiet excitement of being in one of those places that makes memories for you. A typical day may be as follows: A light or full cooked breakfast is served to fit in with your activities. A morning activity is taken - as planned with your guide / Camp Managers and return to camp for lunch and a siesta.

(L, D) DAY 02: Serengeti (Optional) If you take up the two-night/three day option you will depart Arusha in the morning with your vehicles and guides.

(B, L, D) DAY 07: Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar A ferry from Dar es Salaam takes us to the "Spice Island", where we will spend three nights on this legendary island. Zanzibar is steeped in history and was one of the major starting points for most East African explorers in their quest for new lands. (B) Please note: Our crew can organise accommodation for you whilst on Zanzibar, although from our experience our clients have felt the need to explore the island on their own. Therefore accommodation and food is for client's own account whist on Zanzibar. DAYS 08 & 09: Zanzibar History aside, Zanzibar offers a wealth of experiences for the visitor. Today the quiet streets of the old Stone Town still retain their Arabic influence, from the Medina-like shops to the palaces of the Sultans, who founded their vast empires on the spoils of the slave and ivory trade. The island is still famous for its spices, and tours around a spice plantation can be organised. Other options include a trip to the nearby Prison Island with its giant tortoises, and beautiful beaches to enjoy. Or perhaps you would enjoy the opportunity to hire a motorbike and explore the more remote areas of the island. Zanzibar is a seafood lover's paradise. Numerous restaurants offer a great variety of the freshest catch from the ocean - giant lobsters being a popular speciality. Alternatively, joining the locals for dinner in the waterfront market is an experience not to be missed. The market stalls offer an unusual selection of fast food African style at a very reasonable cost.
