Overview
Your honeymoon begins in Chobe National Park, where the Chobe River draws large concentrations of elephants and other wildlife to its banks.
Three nights at Chobe Game Lodge provide a comfortable base for morning and afternoon game drives, as well as river safaris along the Chobe.
From Chobe, a light aircraft transfer takes you into the Okavango region and Moremi Game Reserve.
Camp Moremi overlooks Xakanaxa Lagoon and offers a mix of land- and water-based activities, including game drives and boat excursions.
The final three nights are spent at Camp Okavango in the heart of the delta.
Here, the emphasis shifts towards exploring the waterways and islands by boat and mokoro, walking with a guide, and enjoying a private helicopter flight followed by a romantic champagne sundowner.
The result is a honeymoon with a clear progression from riverfront wildlife viewing to the lagoons and floodplains of Moremi, then deeper into the Okavango Delta.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Days 1-3: Chobe National Park
Arrive at Kasane Airport, where a Petnah Africa Tours representative will meet you and transfer you towards Chobe National Park in an open safari vehicle.
Your journey into the park begins with a short game drive before reaching Chobe Game Lodge, where you will spend the next three nights.
Your honeymoon suite features a private patio and plunge pool overlooking the Chobe River, giving you somewhere peaceful to relax between safari activities.
During your stay, you will head out on morning and afternoon game drives in an open-sided 4×4 vehicle.
The Chobe River also provides a different perspective on the park, with safari boats allowing you to watch wildlife along the riverbanks and floodplains.
Elephants are a major feature of the Chobe Riverfront, particularly during drier periods when animals gather around the available water.
Depending on conditions and sightings, you may also encounter buffalo, zebra, giraffe, lion, leopard, African wild dog, puku, red lechwe, sable and roan antelope.
Overnight: Chobe Game Lodge
Meals: As specified in your safari package
Day 4-6: Moremi Game Reserve
After your final morning experience in Chobe, return to Kasane Airport for a light aircraft transfer towards Moremi Game Reserve.
The flight provides an aerial introduction to the Okavango landscape before you land at Moremi Airstrip, where your guide will meet you and transfer you to Camp Moremi.
Set above the ground overlooking Xakanaxa Lagoon, Camp Moremi provides a comfortable base for exploring the surrounding reserve.
Your three-night stay combines morning and afternoon game drives with boat excursions through the waterways around the lagoon.
Moremi’s mixture of woodland, open plains, seasonal floodplains and waterways creates opportunities for both land and water-based wildlife viewing.
Your activities will be shaped by local conditions, water levels and the movements of wildlife.
Your honeymoon package also includes a private dinner setup in a remote location, giving you an evening away from the usual camp setting and a more intimate way to experience the bush.

Day 7-9: Okavango Delta
After a morning game drive in Moremi, transfer to the airstrip for your light aircraft flight deeper into the Okavango Delta.
On arrival, your driver-guide will meet you and transfer you to Camp Okavango, where you will spend the final three nights of your safari.
The activities here focus on experiencing the delta from different perspectives.
Depending on conditions, you can travel through the waterways by boat, glide between channels and islands in a mokoro, or head out on a guided bush walk.
The highlight of your honeymoon stay is a 60-minute scenic helicopter flight, followed by a private champagne sundowner on a remote island in the Okavango Delta.
It offers a more secluded way to take in the scale of the delta and mark the final days of your safari together.
