Moremi Game Reserve – Completely Surrounded by the Water
Imagine the Okavango Delta, and water comes to the fore of all preconceptions. It's the Western Okavango that most aptly responds to these images, lush blue stretching far beyond the eye can see. Arriving here is a real adventure, a mix of light aircraft and motorboat taking you to a camp that's fully surrounded by water. You'll be greeted at Maun International Airport and assisted in a transfer to a small plane, which cruises above the enormity of the Delta. Touch down and Xigera provides the astonishing big water experience a first-time visitor would expect from the Okavango. The camp is reached by a long wooden walkway, taking you over the water to tented chalets that stretch around the edge of an island. Relax, savor the views, and settle into the serenity of this beautiful corner of the Okavango.

We’re still not over our trip! Everything was absolutely fantastic. Thank you for organizing such a great experience and making it so effortless for me. I already have family and friends asking who I went through, and I’m guessing some of them will be reaching out to you in the next year.
I do have one small piece of constructive feedback about our camp in the Olifants West Nature Reserve. The staff, lodge, and food were wonderful, but unfortunately, the safari guide fell short. We had just come from the camp in the Thornybush Game Reserve (where we left our hearts—the guide there was truly exceptional, with such a great personality), so the difference stood out even more. At the Olifants West Nature Reserve camp, we saw very few animals and the guide didn’t engage much—he barely spoke, and when he did, it wasn’t very professional or kind, especially toward my son. My son even said the trip might have worked better in reverse, since after Botswana it was hard to adjust to seeing only a few animals a day.
That said, I’m so grateful for how smoothly you planned everything, especially on such short notice. It really was a trip of a lifetime for us.
Thank you again!

Our first trip to southern Africa was amazing, exceeding all expectations. We saw everything we came to see, and more. The game rides were well structured and safe, the visuals were unbelievable, and taking a side trip to Victoria Falls was a great idea. The accommodations were quite luxurious, despite being considered mid-range. There was always someone there to greet us and guide us at every travel point.
Zicasso's tour operator tailored our itinerary to our wishes and was wonderful to work with. Things couldn’t have gone better.

The service before, during, and after our trip was totally "white-glove," and there were extra perks that we were surprised with each day of our trip. Zicasso's travel company listened to our goals and met and exceeded every one. We recommend them in every way and will be using them in the future!
