5-Day Botswana Safari: Maun to Kasane

Begin your five-day Botswana safari in Maun, the gateway to the country’s wilderness, and travel through landscapes that change from open salt flats to wildlife-rich river country. The route leads from Maun to the vast Makgadikgadi Pans, where wide horizons, striking sunsets and flamingo viewing create an unforgettable introduction to Botswana. A visit to Kubu Island adds one of the journey’s most distinctive experiences, combining the stark beauty of the pans with time to appreciate this remarkable landscape. The adventure continues to Elephant Sands, a memorable stop where wild elephants gather at a natural waterhole. This setting offers the chance for up-close elephant encounters while you experience the atmosphere of Botswana’s untamed interior. Sleeping under the stars adds another special dimension to the trip, allowing the surroundings and open African sky to become part of your safari experience. From Elephant Sands, continue to Kasane, a renowned base for exploring the wildlife and waterways of northern Botswana. Here, game drives provide opportunities to experience the region’s diverse wildlife, while a peaceful boat cruise on the Chobe River reveals a different perspective on the landscape. Expect striking river scenery, large elephant herds and abundant birdlife along the water. This Maun to Kasane safari combines several signature Botswana experiences in one carefully connected journey: salt-pan landscapes, flamingos, Kubu Island, star-filled nights, close elephant viewing, game drives and a Chobe River boat cruise. The package includes all game drives, park entrance fees, a professional safari guide, airport transfers, accommodation as listed, meals as indicated and drinking water in the vehicle. It is a varied Botswana safari for travellers seeking wildlife encounters, dramatic scenery and memorable experiences across Maun, Makgadikgadi Pans, Elephant Sands and Kasane.
