Watch elephants frolic in the Okavango and experience the thundering water at Victoria Falls, twice the height of Niagara
10. MEET THE MEERKATS
Get acquainted with several families of meerkats today as they go about their business, digging for termites, frolicking, and standing at attention, forever on the lookout for predators; they have no fear of humans, and you never know – they may even climb on your head for a better vantage point (see sidebar). Head into the Kalahari for a visit to Chapman’s Baobab, an ancient tree that is the only landmark for miles and was once a mail drop for travelers on the signless route from Cape Town to Cairo. Enjoy free time at camp in the afternoon before a fantastic late afternoon trip to the salt pans, the world’s largest. Nothing says adventure like a ride in a 4-wheel-drive all-terrain vehicle (ATV)* – and this afternoon, you’ll be transported in one out onto the salt pans that are located in the middle of the dry Botswana savanna. Watching the sun set in the heart of one of the most remote regions of the Kalahari Desert is one of those life-changing experiences – the silence is golden, the spectacle of the panoramic sky nothing short of inspirational. A fitting finale to the day is a sundowner, of course, and dinner. Meals BLD
11. MEERKATS & MAKGADIKGADI Today you’ll go on either the game drive or the fascinating walking safari with the San Bushmen as described in day nine. Both experiences really give you the full picture of daily life in this extraordinary region, and delve into both human and natural history. Lunch in camp is followed by an informative lecture on the local meerkat population. This evening, enjoy a farewell reception and dinner at Camp Kalahari. Meals BLD
12. JOHANNESBURG & HOME Tour ends: O.R. Tambo International Airport. Fly to Maun this morning, then on to Johannesburg for your journey home. Guests can connect to flights for home; for those spending additional nights in Johannesburg, transfers will be provided to Tauck’s hotel. You should allow at least 3 hours for flight check-in.
