You are met at Maun airport by office staff to guide you through the transfer process. A 25 minute helicopter transfer brings you straight to camp; flying into the delta is a special experience and the view from the helicopter is the finest way to start you safari. Other options on transfers are available, light aircraft brings you to Pompom airstrip, from which it is approximately an hour drive by vehicle or boat to camp. Lunch is served while you are given an introduction talk on safety and game viewing from horseback. This is followed by an orientation ride lasting 1-2 hours.
The camp was very comfortable and the staff accommodating. The camp was right on the water, and we had a great view of the sunsets from our tent. The amazing aspect of the delta is the abundance of game on every ride. We had multiple close encounters with elephant, giraffe, and cape buffalo, along with run-ins with warthogs, hippos and a leopard. Our guide was an expert in tracking the game and getting us up close. Standing in the presence of wild elephants and running with a herd of giraffe are experiences we won't forget.
