Day 2 Johannesburg-Moremi Game Reserve | Meals: BLD
This morning, take the hotel shuttle back to the airport terminal for your flight to Maun (flight to be booked by you.) On arrival in Maun, continue on your light aircraft flight to Stanley's Camp. Set among ebony and sausage trees, Sanctuary Stanley's Camp is located on a 260,000 acre private concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. The natural wonders of the area constantly change over the seasons from lush green when the rain flows down the Angolan highlands, to dry savannah when the neighbouring Kalahari Desert tightens its grip on the terrain. The camp is the home of our unique Living with Elephants activity where guests can explore Africa from an elephant's perspective.
A classic tented camp located on a private concession in the Okavango Delta, Sanctuary Stanley's Camp offers a varied game viewing experience as well as our unique Living with Elephants activity.

The camp is the home of our unique Living with Elephants activity where guests can explore Africa from an elephant's perspective.
Sanctuary Stanley's Camp is built on a 260,000 acre private concession in the renowned Okavango Delta. This traditional safari camp has a large lounge area and dining area with incredible views over the floodplains in front of camp. The main area features a bar from where refreshing drinks are always served with a smile, a small library area and curio shop. From the swimming pool - a real treat after a hot day of game viewing - guests can watch giraffe and other plains game march across the savannah and sometimes catch a glimpse of rare wild dogs. Everything about Sanctuary Stanley's Camp is built to the highest ecological standards so that we don't damage this highly sensitive area.
The intimate camp features only ten safari canvas tents, each individually designed, furnished with African antiques that exude a classic and understated elegance that harks back to the explorers and colonialists of the 19th century. Each tent has a large wooden deck providing private areas where you can relax while soaking in the surrounding sights and sounds or enjoy cocktails, before dinner is served in the spectacular dining mess.
LIVING WITH ELEPHANTS Living With Elephants Foundation is devoted to providing rescued African elephants with a second chance and safe home in the wilderness of Botswana's Okavango Delta. Currently under care are Jabu and Morula, two rescued elephants, saved from culling operations in which they were orphaned. Doug and Sandi Groves have dedicated nearly 30 years to providing world-class care and refuge to these orphans. The elephants thrive in a loving supportive environment and are provided with specialized care. Jabu and Morula live in expansive natural elephant habitat, which offers freedom for exploration, natural behaviour and wildlife interactions. Jabu and Morula cannot yet be released fully to the wild due to their traumatic starts in life and chronic injuries.
Low volumes of visitors to Sanctuary Retreats are given the rare opportunity to visit Jabu and Morula in the heart of the Okavango Delta. During their walk with the elephants, guests witness private moments as they forage, mud wallow and amble through the bush. This is an intimate and highly educational bush walk where you will learn about the status of the African Elephant, their role in the ecosystem and conservation in general. Doug and Sandi are renowned specialists in elephant biology, ecosystems and natural history. Having lived intimately with their herd in Botswana for three decades, they are your perfect guides for a "day in the life of the African Elephant" and help you connect to elephants and their environment.
In order to avoid disappointment, pre-booking is recommended. The activity is available to a minimum of two guests and a maximum of ten. Children over nine years are allowed to enjoy the activity with their parents. Please note the elephants are on annual leave from 15 January to 15 February each year. Additional cost

Day 3 & 4 Moremi Game Reserve | Meals: BLD
Two full days of unforgettable game viewing await. Stanley's sits on on a private concesssion which means you can venture out for night game drives in seach of nocturnal creatures like hyena and the elusive leopard.

Depending on the water levels, you can also take a mekoro trip on one of the channels of the Delta. These dug-out canoes glide quietly along the water as you watch for animals coming for a drink of water. You might see crock sunbathing or cruise past a pod of hippos as they lie in a pool.
