Arrival into mwanza

DAY
01

On arrival at Mwanza airport, you’ll be met by your guide and then transfer by road to Little Okavango camp, so-called because of its proximity to narrow water channels full of tall Papyrus grasses which feed down to the expanse of Lake Victoria. The driving will take you about 2 hours passing through the unusual city of Mwanza known as the “Rock City”, due to its huge boulders scattered across the wider landscape. Dinner and overnight at Little Okavango Camp.
