Day 10 Sossusvlei This day calls for an early rise, as we will forever remember the picture of a sunrise over the mighty dunes of the Namib Desert. Gaze at the bright splash of sun-baked sand combined with the mighty play of shadows cast onto the layside of the dunes. From Sossusvlei we visit Dead Vlei, a surreal white clay pan surrounded by monumental dunes and dotted with age-old camelthorn trees. Before traveling back to our lodge, we visit Sesriem Canyon, a 30-meter deep gauge incised into the desert floor by the Tsauchab River, the same river that suddenly ends at Sossusvlei.

The delta environment has large numbers of animal populations that are otherwise rare, such as crocodile, red lechwe, sitatunga, elephant, wild dogs, buffalo, wattled crane as well as the other more common mammals and bird life. Afternoon activity: safari activities by water are the primary speciality of the Okavango - the mokoro. a dugout canoe which is 'poled' along by your Guide, is the most evocative way of exploring the numerous waterways.

www.swafrica.co.za

DAY-TO-DAY ITINERARY CONTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;D: The Makgadikgadi Pans National Park stretches away from the banks of the Boteti River, through its interior of scrubland and grasslands. The western boundary provides for mineral rich grass lands and the Boteti River which supplies the much needed sustenance for the herds which inhabit the park. The Boteti river is the main outflow of the Okavango Delta, collecting the water that flows past Maun, and stretches about 250 km southeast finally ending at Lake Xau on the extreme south western edge of the great Makgadikgadi salt pans. There was permanent water in the river since long before Livingstone first explored the area in the late 1840s and brought the existence of Lake Ngami to the attention of the outside world. The river provided water for the great herds of wildlife that seasonally utilized the short grass plains on the north-west side of the Makgadikgadi, and latterly provided water for the Setswana cattle herders who moved onto the western bank. The river was thus a natural barrier between the wildlife and the cattle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and was a natural boundary for the National park.

Day 6 Makgadikgadi Pans Early morning safari activity followed by breakfast. Time to relax by the pool or in the comfort of your room. After high tea is served you will venture out for another afternoon / evening game drive. Dinner at the lodge. Day 7 Checkout Early morning activity (time permitting) followed by breakfast and checkout.
