Boat Safari
Explore the waterways of the Okavango Delta by either boat or Mokoro, depending on the best game-viewing opportunity at the time. This is influenced by the ever-changing patterns of the flood waters of the Delta.

YOUR EXPERIENCE
This is a curated journey of distinction, taking in Botswana’s stunning safari diversity across the Okavango Delta, through its wetlands and onto the neighbouring Chobe National Park. First you'll arrive in the Okavango Delta where you will be staying in a luxurious mobile camp with all mod-cons for your convenience, making for the perfect base to explore the bush. Early morning and late afternoon game drives bookend your days in this stunning wilderness. Falling asleep to the night sounds and waking to plan the day based upon where the wildlife has been indicating its presence. All against the backdrop of a super-glamping experience with meals prepared 3 times daily by our local chef, using the freshest ingredients, complemented by a full bar selection. Stories around the campfire, tracking wildlife, stimulating all 5 senses, and getting right under the skin of the country is the theme that permeates this special itinerary in this incredible country. Then the time will come for your entire camp to relocate hours away in Chobe National Park for your final 3 nights, however while your mobile camp moves you'll have a night of adventure ahead before joining them. You'll have the opportunity to explore the deepest wetlands by boat or mokoro (traditional dugout canoe), depending on the seasonal flood variations, giving you a unique chance to view game from the water. Then you'll stay in a light-weight fly camp for the night on an island in the delta, or by one of the river systems with your guide for a truly authentic night in the bush that you'll never forget. Then you'll have 3 days & nights to explore Chobe National Park.

WHERE YOU'RE GOING
One of Africa’s most exclusive safari destinations, Botswana is a paradise for stunning scenery and wildlife. It is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world: the low population and vast areas of protected wilderness provide a haven for wildlife and offers a more exclusive and remote safari. It's home to the richly populated waterways of the Okavango Delta, arguably one of Africa’s ultimate destinations for spotting wildlife, and is also home to the first reserve in Africa that was established by local residents. The Moremi Game Reserve is a gem and one of Africa’s finest wildlife destinations. Known as a predator’s paradise, Savuti has very strong lion, leopard, and spotted hyena populations and the night sounds are always dotted by their quixotic calls. More recently, wild dog and cheetah sightings have been good.

Book your trip in a few easy steps.
Botswana is a landlocked country at the bottom of the African continent. It is bordered to the South by South Africa, to the West by Namibia, to the East by Zimbabwe and to the North by Zambia.
Botswana is widely regarded throughout the travel world for being the most exclusive, high-end country in Africa for going on safari. Not only this, but it is packed full of wildlife, and thanks to the government policy of low-volume high-cost tourism, the sense of space and freedom that can be achieved on safari here is second to none. No other African country can boast the same level of protection with 42% of the land being set aside for natural wilderness areas. Given that Botswana is the same size as France, that’s the equivalent land mass of the entire United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland designated as protected wildlife areas. It is because of this extensive rangeland, which is set aside for wilderness and wildlife, that Botswana can boast the largest population of elephants anywhere in the world and among the highest densities of predators such as lion, leopards, cheetah and wild dogs. All of this helps to explain why the safari experience to be had in Botswana is the best in the continent.
Firstly, when we say goodnight to you after dinner and you are taken to your room/tent/cabin (depending on where you are staying that night) you will have everything you need there for you: a comfortable bed, a bathroom, drinking water, lighting and a door. Secondly, the vehicles and accommodation are seen by the African wildlife as just another solid object in their landscape, like a tree or an oversized termite mound. As vehicles and accommodations are not associated with food or territory and are not a threat to the wildlife, they are not interested in what’s inside. This means that you can enjoy your game drives in the bush, and you can peacefully drift away at night time to the sounds of the wilderness, remembering at all times, that you are under our experienced protection in the environment we call home.
As very experienced safari operators welcoming guests from all over the world for the best part of two decades, we are very well versed in catering to different dietary requirements. We can cater to everything from dietary preferences, intolerances and allergies. All that you need to do is make sure to inform us well in advance to ensure that we can source any specialist ingredients that may be required to take care of you.
Yes, it is. In every game-viewing vehicle we have both 220V AC for charging items that you would plug in the wall socket at home, as well as multiple 12V DC USB plugs for charging phones and smaller items.
Most things are fully inclusive. That means that from the point of arrival through to departure, all your transfers, accommodations, meals, activities as described, professional guides, park entry fees and taxes are all included. We put together journeys like this so that you can focus on the most important thing, which is enjoying your safari.
