The Experience

Okavango Delta:
Your Botswana adventure begins in the heart of the Okavango Delta, where the wilderness flows through a labyrinth of channels and lagoons. At Wilderness Jao Camp, glide silently across serene waterways in a private mokoro (traditional dugout canoe), surrounded by the sounds of nature and the occasional glimpse of elephants, hippos, and vibrant birdlife. As the sun dips below the horizon, toast to the day with a champagne sundowner, the golden hues of the delta reflected in your glass.

For a bird’s-eye view of this breathtaking landscape, embark on a scenic helicopter safari with Little Vumbura Camp. Soar above the delta’s emerald tapestry, witnessing the rhythm of life unfold beneath you—herds of elephants, prideful lions, and winding waterways that glitter like veins of liquid gold.

For those seeking an unforgettable night under the stars, Wilderness Jao Camp offers the ultimate in luxury and adventure with their Star Bed Sleepouts. Nestled in secluded canopies, these open-air beds invite you to drift off under a blanket of stars, serenaded by the nocturnal symphony of the African wilderness.

Moremi Game Reserve:
At Baines' Camp, immerse yourself in the art of wildlife photography with guided photographic safaris led by expert guides. Capture the raw beauty of Botswana’s diverse wildlife—from majestic big cats to gentle elephants—against the backdrop of stunning landscapes. It’s not just a safari; it’s a journey to frame the soul of Africa.

Chobe National Park:
Experience the majesty of Africa’s largest elephant herds with a luxury river cruise on the Chobe River, departing from Savute Safari Lodge. Drift along calm waters, watching elephants, crocodiles, and hippos in their natural habitat, all while savoring gourmet meals and refreshing cocktails on board.

For a more intimate adventure, set out on a private Big Five game drive in open-air 4x4 vehicles. Guided by seasoned trackers, you’ll track lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo across the park’s diverse terrains, with each encounter offering a thrilling connection to nature.

Makgadikgadi Pans:
Venture into the stark beauty of the Makgadikgadi Pans with Jack’s Camp, where the vast salt flats stretch endlessly under an infinite sky. Feel the thrill of quad biking across this surreal landscape, before settling in for a gourmet dinner and champagne under the stars, the desert’s silence broken only by the crackle of a campfire.

Engage with the rich cultural tapestry of Botswana through a guided walk with the San Bushmen, where ancient survival skills and storytelling traditions come alive against the backdrop of this timeless land.

Kalahari Desert & Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR):
For an extraordinary desert experience, retreat to San Camp, where private starbed sleepouts offer the ultimate in celestial luxury. Nestled on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Pans, these open-air beds provide panoramic views of the night sky, creating a serene escape into the desert’s vastness.

For those seeking deeper cultural immersion, embark on a walking safari with the San Bushmen. This journey reveals the profound wisdom of one of Africa’s oldest cultures, as you learn about their ancient connection to the land, survival techniques, and deep respect for nature.
