We only have five days and a limited budget – where would you recommend for a varied but good value safari?

If you only have five days and a limited budget, it’s a toss-up between visiting Chobe or visiting the Okavango Delta. Chobe will be cheaper, but you’re going to be getting a far more rounded experience in the Delta.

I would suggest the Delta as the better option, and if you hit the right time of year, the pricing can be favourable.

If you have only five days, I would suggest visiting two separate camps in the Okavango. You’ll need to pay for an extra flight, but it’s a good idea to spread a wider net as we never really know where the game viewing is going to be best.

Another option for a five-day trip would be to spend three nights in Chobe, followed by two nights in the Okavango Delta (or vice versa). I recommend the extra night in Chobe rather than the Delta as this gives you a whole day to explore Victoria Falls. For this option you would need to fly from Kasane to an Okavango Camp, and fly from that camp out to Maun for a connection home.
