This exciting camping safari boasts some of the best and most varied attractions of amazing Botswana. It offers an outstanding mixture of remarkable scenery and wonderful wildlife, and enables us to get really close to nature and to be part of our surroundings.
We experience the wonderful waterways, glorious scenery, magnificent bird-life and total magic of the Okavango Delta. Here, in one of Africa’s last true wilderness areas, we explore beautiful surroundings by mokoros (dugout canoes), powerboats and on guided walks seeking a variety of wildlife and bird-life in a pristine environment.
We visit the game-rich areas of Nxai Pan, Moremi, Savuti and Chobe National Park, waking to some of the most wonderful sunrises, and returning to camp with some of the best sunsets in the world. In all of these parks you have the opportunity to look for big game, including large quantities of elephant, buffalo, hippo, many varieties of antelope and often sizable lion populations. These parks are truly a wildlife and birdlife haven with an incredible reputation for excellent game sightings.
As an added highlight, we start our adventure at the superb Victoria Falls.
