Classic Okavango Safari– 6 Nights (Fly-In)

"The Roar of the Lions Was My Dinner Bell" - Bushman Elder Tsima

Bushman Plains Camp is Botswana’s First Bushman-owned Safari Camp in the Heart of the Okavango Delta.
.
Our camp is located within a 370,000-acre wilderness, utilizing a prime wildlife area where only one other camp operates, making this arguably Botswana’s most exclusive safari area. Highly skilled guides and trackers lead your daily activities.
.
Game drives are in open-sided vehicles, include off road driving, and are the best way to have close-up viewing of the plentiful wildlife. Unlike most safari camps our drives do not have to be confined to staying in the vehicle. You are with the masters of the bush, and they will share with you their phenomenal tracking skills. If you are keen, you can take to foot along with your guide/tracker team to follow fresh tracks and see where they lead (returning to the vehicle once close to predators – guest safety is always paramount). After dark we can night drive using red-filtered spotlights to minimize disturbance as we seek out the active nocturnal animals.
.
Join these masters of the natural world on a safari within the wilderness of the famed Okavango Delta to connect to our shared origins.
