You will be picked up from your hotel in the early evening and transferred to the jetty to board your boat, named 'The Malachite'. Once on board, you will be welcomed with a refreshing towel and a flute of sparkling wine. Make your way to the top floor for the best views during the sunset portion of the cruise. Settle into plush, cushioned furniture as you help yourself to amuse bouche and snacks. Pair your food with one of the many cocktails on offer while keeping an eye out for resident wildlife such as hippos and elephants. Once the sun has disappeared behind the horizon, sit down to a sumptuous meal prepared by two chefs using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Catch a glimpse of the moon and stars in the clear night sky as you dine. After your meal, return to shore and from there to your hotel.

Experience exciting game drives and feel awed by the beauty of Africa on wonderful boat safaris on the majestic Chobe River. Marvel at the beautiful afternoon light and the reflection of the sun as you peacefully glide over the river while enjoying your favorite drink and observing hundreds of elephants along the shores of the river - bathing, drinking, playing and cajoling. This is one of the most memorable safari experiences you will ever have!

Karangoma’s location overlapping both the floodplains of the Okavango Delta, as well as the woodlands of the sandveld to the north means a full range of game viewing and other activities are possible. The mainstay is game drives in open 4x4 vehicles that allow us watch Africa’s charismatic large mammals such as elephant and lion from close proximity both safely and comfortably whether during the day or after dark. Equally we love being on foot, following animal tracks, or simply exploring the area and taking opportunistic cooling dips in the water of the Okavango. Those same waters (depending on the time of year) also allow us to boat or to silently traverse shallower water in mekoros (traditional ‘canoes’) in search of species like red lechwe or wetland birds like the malachite kingfisher.
