The Okavango, however, is only one facet of the wilderness that awaits you. For the optimum wildlife experience, we suggest the other great gameviewing areas: the drylands of the Okavango in the Moremi: Chobe National Park including Savute - the kingdom of the lion; the endless stretches of the wild Kalahari and Makgadikgadi and the big tusker country of the Tuli.

Our approach to tailor-making safaris is to give clients an intense experience of the areas visited. This means concentrating on the highlights of the 4 wildlife and wilderness experiences. A stay in a water camp to explore the Delta wetlands by motorised boats or by mokoro (the traditional dug-out canoes). A stay in a land camp to view the great variety of game and birdlife in open safari vehicles. A venture into the Chobe National Park including Savute, a harsh land where the battle for survival is desperate and prides of African lion are dominant. A mobile safari tracking migratory herds of game through the endless vistas of the wild Kalahari. In addition, there are special interest safaris which will take you to the lesser known areas and add a unique touch to your Botswana sojourn.
