Accommodation
Camping in the African wilderness is a bucket list experience for many adventure travellers and Botswana is a fantastic destination for this. When we stay at public campsites, we have access to excellent facilities; however, the nights spent wild camping are the real highpoint. Our stays in Moremi Game Reserve and Savuti Marsh are both at private campsites in beautiful locations where we wonโt see or hear anyone else. What we will hear though, and possibly see, is the wildlife. On this trip, we spend 11 nights full-service camping and two nights normally in a hotel, lodge or chalet at the Victoria Falls. We sleep in spacious, two-person tents fitted with mattress-topped camp beds. For the wild camping nights, there is a bush shower and toilet, while dinner is taken around our campfire. Wild camping in the Okavango Delta The highlight stay on this trip for many is our two nights of wild camping in the Okavango Delta. Our neighbours, which youโll likely hear shuffling around at night, include hippos, elephants and lions, while our away-from-it-all location normally allows us to see a night sky illuminated with stars. Worth knowing All camping equipment is provided except for sleeping bags and pillows.
Meals
All breakfasts, seven lunches and seven dinners included. Breakfast: Cereals, coffee and toast and the occasional fried breakfast/brunch. Lunch: Cheese, cold meats, salads, bread or rolls. Dinner: Potjies (stew), braais (barbecue), stir-fries, etc. Vegetarians and vegans can be well catered for on this holiday. Please inform us before departure of any special dietary requests so our local team can be well prepared. The trip leaders do all the shopping and meal planning for each group. They will always try to obtain fresh produce wherever possible. Each tour has one cool box for meat and fresh produce only and one cool box for cold drinks. We supply squash, tea or coffee with meals. All other beverages will be at your own expense. On some days where early morning game drives are included, lunch may be substituted for a large brunch on return from the game drive โ this is customary. We will always ensure the number of meals detailed in the trip notes are provided. The water provided on this trip is safe, clean drinking water, normally from boreholes. You can buy bottled water if you prefer, but we encourage you to make use of the safe drinking water provided as this helps diminish plastic consumption.

Gliding along the Okavango Delta waterways in Mokoro canoes and wild camping in the wetlands The other-worldly silent beauty of the Makgadikgadi Pan Good chances of seeing both Africaโs emblematic wildlife as well as some of its lesser species Game viewing by foot, by safari vehicle and by boat The mighty Victoria Falls
Transport
We use a 4x4 vehicle, seating 12 in four rows of three. It has a solid roof to protect the group from the sun and canvas sides that are mostly kept up for great game viewing. We use this vehicle as it is perfect for wildlife watching, which is the focus of our trip. It does mean, however, that it can get windy on transfers between safari parks. When we have small group sizes, we use a trailer for our equipment. For large groups, there will always be a support vehicle. The vehicle has evenly spaced foot holes for access to the back (rather than doors) and is manageable for any reasonably fit person. Drive times (all approximate): Maun to the Okavango Delta round-trip: Two hours each way Maun to Makgadikgadi: Four hours Makgadikgadi to Victoria Falls: Seven hours, including border crossing Victoria Falls to Kasane: Two hours Kasane to Savuti: Eight hours, mostly game drives, some transfer Savuti safari: Six to eight hours, all game drives Savuti to Moremi: Eight hours, mostly game drive, some transfer Moremi safari: Two game drives, each three hours Moremi to Maun: Three-hour game drive plus two-hour transfer to Maun
