Road Trip Itinerary
| Activities | Kms | Stay | |
| Day 1-4 | The first stop on our 2-week trip was Erindi Private Game Reserve. It is located perfectly for a first destination, as it’s only a 2.5-hour drive from Windhoek. | 178 | Erindi Private Game Reserve |
| Day 5-6 | After a wonderful few days at Erindi, we were ready for a short stopover at Etosha before heading on to Caprivi and, finally, Northern Botswana. | 476 | Onguma Nature Reserve |
| Day 7 | Next, after our time at Etosha, we began making our way East towards the Caprivi and, ultimately, Northern Botswana. | 629 | Divava Okavango Lodge and Spa |
| Day 8-10 | Muchenje Safari Lodge is a short 5-minute drive from the Ngoma Bridge Border Control. This is the border crossing that we would recommend using if you choose to cross from Namibia to Botswana. | 380 | Muchenje Safari Lodge |
| Day 11-12 | Next on the agenda was a “short” 3.5-hour drive in soft sand to Savute Safari Lodge. | 103 | Savute Safari Lodge |
| Day 12-14 | For the final safari spot on our itinerary, Belmond Khwai River Lodge. We were so excited as the area is renowned for its wildlife encounters. | 116 | Belmond Khwai River Lodge |
| Day 15 | Unfortunately, our trip has come to an end, and we had to head back to Maun to take our flight home. | 129 | Maun Airport |
