Botswana has more wildlife species than anywhere else on the continent and the animal sightings are fast, furious and fantastic. And where better to witness the action than the iconic Okavango Delta? In this itinerary, we’ve added a bit of a twist too; there are no lodges. Instead, you’ll come with us on a mobile safari expedition, sleeping under the stars in our wonderfully-wild and super-stylish mobile camp, immersing yourself into the heart of Botswana.
The days will be filled with activities designed to take you as close as possible to the wildlife. You’ll boat up to herds of elephant, 500 strong, and explore remote islands on foot; zoom across floodplains in a custom 4×4 in search of game; and spend afternoons watching the birds flit across china-blue skies. If a mobile expedition in the most stylish of camps, with a dose of incredible game-viewing in a truly wild environment sounds like it might be your thing, you won’t get much better than this.
Game drive through the vast concession to see the diverse wildlife of the area including wild dogs, sitatunga antelope, big cats and extensive birdlife. Their beautiful habitat changes with the season from seasonal floodplains, waterways and grassy savannah.
This is one of the most iconic Okavango Delta experiences. Wind your way around the crystalclear
waterways on mokoro. Your experienced guide, will pole you amongst the lily pads and weaving sandbanks, to show you the ebbs and flows of this incredible eco-system.
If you’re looking for the ultimate romantic adventure, then this activity will leave you totally starstruck. Spend an enchanting evening safely fly-camping on an island at Duke’s Camp. This activity will get you listening to the sounds of the African bush at night, while covered in a blanket of a billion stars.
