Wilderness Pelo | Okavango Delta

1 Jun 2021 - 4 Jun 2021

Tall, graceful palm trees mark the location of Wilderness Pelo, while the island’s distinctive shape is instantly recognisable from the air. ‘Pelo’ is the local word for heart, and guests instantly fall in love with this tiny, tranquil island hideaway.

One of the smaller camps in Botswana, Wilderness Pelo has five tents with private verandas and magnificent vistas of the surrounding Okavango. The emphasis at Wilderness Pelo is on mokoro excursions – a smooth, silent way to connect both with the finer details of the Okavango Delta and the rich heritage of the people of this region.

INSIDER'S TIP: Watch the comings and goings of wildlife from the comfort of the camp and by mokoro – hippos, lechwe and sitatunga among many other water-loving creatures.

Wilderness Linyanti Tented Camp | Linyanti Concession

4 Jun 2021 - 7 Jun 2021

Wilderness Linyanti Tented Camp is ideal for families and small groups looking to explore this wildlife-rich concession. Unrivalled in its remoteness and sense of space, the camp overlooks the iconic Linyanti Marsh.

Eight large, airy tents recreate an explorer-type style, while the two main areas are on a slightly raised deck. Game drives and full-day excursions with lunch at remote picnic spots enable fuller exploration of the varying habitats, including the river, floodplains, open dry-land savannah and woodland.

Booking sole use of the camp is no longer a prerequisite, however, sole use remains possible to book, subject to availability.

INSIDER'S TIP: Look out for large herds of elephants that congregate along the waterways of the Linyanti River and floodplain in front of camp.

Wilderness Davison's | Eastern Hwange National Park

7 Jun 2021 - 10 Jun 2021

Nestled discreetly beneath a grove of false mopane trees, Wilderness Davison's is located in the private Linkwasha Concession - one of the most prolific wildlife areas in Hwange National Park. Hidden within a treeline, this African safari camp, overlooks an open plain and a waterhole that attracts large numbers of animals, especially thirsty herds of elephant and buffalo in the dry season.

Guests staying in one of Wilderness Davison’s nine tents (including a family room) can enjoy the quintessential Hwange experience, viewing the wildlife on game drives and guided nature walks in this diverse and exciting area. Arranged directly in camp only, and subject to vehicle availability, it may be possible to include a visit to one of the local villages. Subject to availability, guests may have the opportunity to visit and learn more about the Scorpion Anti-Poaching Unit team.

INSIDER'S TIP: A small upper deck in the main area is the ideal location from which to watch wildlife at the waterhole.

Wilderness Busanga Bush Camp | Northern Kafue

13 Jun 2021 - 16 Jun 2021

The vast, meadow-like Busanga Plains extends in all directions around the camp, offering a remarkable sense of freedom and possibility. The plains teem with birds, and grazing antelope – while misty mornings and evenings, are illuminated by unique pink sunrises and dusks.

With just four well-appointed tents at Wilderness Busanga Bush Camp, this dry season-only camp captures the authentic spirit of safari style, and warm Zambian hospitality. The spectacular views from the camp itself, and the wildlife encounters during day and night game drives, affords guests to become acquainted with the plains. Listen for the iconic cry of the fish-eagle, the soundtrack of Busanga.

INSIDER'S TIP: Special sightings to look for include lion, cheetah, roan antelope, and puku to name a few. For those interested in birding, this includes the range restricted Fülleborn's Longclaw.
