Thanks in advance.
Also, how does one get from Jo'burg to the Okavango camp -- charter all the way? or first fly to Vic Falls? What's that part cost?
It has been many years , we transitted Jo ‘ burg to Livingston for Victoria Falls before Botswana . Stayed at Toka Leya Lodge when it was new & the staff were warm with excellent meals . Really enjoyed it & sundowners , etc on the river & walking the falls .
Flying to Okavango Delta , our Kiwi pilot was wonderful & flew over the falls for us - spectacular .
We stayed near Jao which we visited , & which we would have stayed , cannot recall ours though ..
Had to stay overnight in Jo ‘ burg for the return flight .. did not venture out ..
As
KI-NRT says , combine with Cape Town / region especially if you think you will not be returning so soon .
Watch out for sand flies !!
