Welcome to Botswana!
On arrival at Maun Airport and after clearing customs and immigration, you will be met and assisted by a Wilderness representative to your light aircraft for your onward circuit air transfer to Wilderness Qorokwe. On arrival at the camp airstrip, you will be met by your guide and transferred to camp, where you will have time to settle in before afternoon / evening game-viewing activities. After your evening game drive, return to camp for dinner and overnight.
At Wilderness Qorokwe, delight in contemporary comforts in a spectacular setting, a landscape ranging from floodplains to acacia woodlands and palm-dotted islands. Its home is the exclusive Qorokwe Protected Area, 25 000 hectares dense with game and its ensuing dramas. Its nine elegant tents (including one very spacious family unit with a private plunge pool) are well shaded and catch the prevailing breeze. The whole camp, including the magnificent main area, overlooks a lagoon and its infinity pool is a focal point for the expansive views. Witness the wild’s action unfold – from stalking lions to hippos battling for territory. Marvel at the smaller creatures – from industrious dung beetles to an impressive variety of birds. On game drives or walks, find an abundance of local herbivores: elephant, giraffe, buffalo, and a range of antelope, including the rarer tsessebe. Explore the channels in a mokoro, spying painted reed frogs, waterlilies, and perhaps a surprise ‘Champagne stop’ hidden in the reeds. When the water is high enough, boat further afield. Rejoice in fireside boma nights alive with traditional song and dance, and much laughter. In addition to Wilderness Qorokwe’s commitment to a light carbon footprint, including 100% solar-generated power, this camp plays an important role in the empowerment of local communities through job creation and other income-generating opportunities. Wilderness Qorokwe promotes the recovery of an area previously used for hunting, and demonstrates the importance of ecotourism in more peripheral concessions.
Two full days to spend in this incredible area!
This morning, you will be returned to the airstrip for your light aircraft transfer to Mokete. On arrival at the airstrip, you will be met and transferred to camp via game drive. Later, enjoy afternoon tea, followed by an evening game drive, then return to camp for dinner and overnight.
In our search for the most raw, remote, and untamed places on the planet, we discovered somewhere so wild, so abundant with life, it left us breathless, and a little bit emotional. Now it’s your chance to join us and explore where few have ventured before. Be one of the first to venture to this brand new limited-edition camp in a completely untouched area, where Wilderness is pioneering a safari experience unlike any you’ve seen before. To place you in the heart of the drama, we’ve forgone walls and added cantilevered canvas roofs that slide away, revealing never-ending stars. Accommodating just 18 guests in nine tents, pioneering Mokete promises intimate encounters all year. Whether sharing a drink with elephants in the middle of the day, or hearing hyena calls in the dead of night, it’s a feast for the senses.
Two full days to spend in the Mababe area.
This morning, you will be returned to the airstrip for your light aircraft transfer to Little Vumbura, a camp that has it all!
Immerse yourself in the beautiful Okavango at Wilderness Little Vumbura, set on a compact island with endless views. Wilderness Little Vumbura is situated on a picturesque island in a private concession in the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta. Surrounded as it is by water, and lying close to large rivers, it is accessible only by boat - the epitome of island living in the midst of the Delta. Explore the channels on a mokoro or boat. With luck, you’ll find the floating bar, or a sundowner set-up on Phi-Phi, or Shumba Island. Wilderness Little Vumbura has six beautiful tented accommodations shaded by the canopy of an ancient forest. Each well-appointed tent has en-suite facilities, and a deck with amazing views over the waving grasses of the surrounding floodplains. A plunge pool and reading area overlook the floodplains, while a star deck is reached by a bridge leading off the dining area. Wildlife is often almost within arm’s reach. The annually inundated grasslands of the Okavango Delta surrounding Wilderness Vumbura Plains are locally referred to as 'melapo', and offer good seasonal viewing of elephant, giraffe, kudu, zebra, wildebeest, red lechwe and Cape buffalo. Spot hippo and crocodile within the waterways and star predators like the, several resident prides of lion, cheetah and African wildcat.
Enjoy two full days at Little Vumbura!
