Botswana Holiday Package from South Africa
Chobe & the Okavango Delta, Regional Flights from Johannesburg Included
Overview
A full Botswana holiday built for travellers flying out of South Africa — two nights on the Chobe riverfront for the elephants, four nights in the Okavango Delta for the water and the big cats, with the regional flight from Johannesburg to Kasane and back from Maun already in the price. You leave O.R. Tambo in the morning and you are on a boat among Chobe's elephant herds by late afternoon. From there a light aircraft carries you over the Delta to a camp on the water's edge, where the days run on mokoro, game drive and the quiet of a floodplain at dusk. Every internal flight, transfer, game activity, meal and park fee is settled before you go.
We price this package the way South Africans actually book Botswana: the Johannesburg–Kasane and Maun–Johannesburg regional legs are included on the standard tier, not bolted on at the end as a surprise. The route pairs Chobe and the Okavango because they do two different things well — Chobe for the sheer number of elephant and buffalo along the river, the Delta for predators, birdlife and the mokoro. The standard tier puts you in genuine, comfortable camps at a fair rate; step up to the luxury or private tiers and the camps, the vehicles and the flying all move up a grade. When you would rather add Victoria Falls on the way home, we extend the same trip through Kasane without doubling back.
Who It's For
Made for South African families and couples who want their Botswana holiday booked as one package — flights from Johannesburg, transfers, camps and game activities together — rather than piecing it together themselves, and for first-time visitors who want the classic Chobe-and-Delta route done properly without the ultra-luxury price.

Day-by-Day Itinerary
Your morning regional flight from Johannesburg lands at Kasane, a short transfer from the Chobe riverfront. After settling in and lunch, the first afternoon is spent on the water: a boat cruise along the Chobe River, where elephant come down to drink and cross in the late light and hippo and crocodile line the banks. Sundowners on the river, then dinner back at the lodge.

Featured Lodges & Accommodation
Chobe Game Lodge
📍 Chobe riverfront, inside Chobe National Park
The only permanent lodge inside Chobe National Park itself, right on the riverfront where the elephant herds gather. Rooms and suites look straight onto the water, and because the lodge sits inside the park you are on a game drive or a boat cruise within minutes rather than driving in from outside each morning. A pool, a riverside dining room and a spa make it an easy, comfortable base for the first half of the trip.
From $420 per person per night
Moremi Safari Camp
📍 Okavango Delta, near Moremi Game Reserve
A comfortable tented camp on the Delta's edge beside Moremi Game Reserve, run as a classic water-and-land camp: mokoro and boat from the doorstep, game drives into Moremi for the big cats. Canvas rooms sit under shade on raised decks, with a central dining and fire area looking over the floodplain. It gives you the real Okavango experience at a sensible rate, which is what makes this package work for families.
From $480 per person per night

Best Time to Travel
May to October is the dry season — Chobe's elephants mass along the river and the Okavango floodwaters are high, which is the strongest window for both halves of this trip. The Delta flood usually peaks around June to August.
