Three Ways to Experience Botswana

Botswana has no shortage of excellent safari camps, but staying in one place only gives you one perspective.

This itinerary combines three different ways of experiencing the wilderness on owner-led safaris. You'll travel with a mobile camp that moves with the wildlife, spend a night in a temporary fly camp in the Okavango Delta, then slow the pace at an intimate lodge on a private concession.

Each experience complements the next, giving you a broader appreciation of Botswana than you would get from staying at a single camp throughout.

Many safari camps are professionally managed, but owner-led operations often offer a different experience. When the owners are actively involved in guiding and hosting guests, they have the flexibility to adapt each safari to wildlife movements, seasonal conditions and the interests of the people travelling. It creates a more personal experience and is one of the reasons this itinerary appealed to us. 

Your journey begins with three nights on a fully serviced luxury mobile safari.

Comfortable safari tents, excellent food and experienced guides combine the atmosphere of a traditional safari with the comforts most travellers expect today.

Because the itinerary isn't tied to a single lodge, your guides have the flexibility to make the most of current wildlife sightings and conditions.

Your fourth night is spent fly camping in the Okavango Delta.

A fly camp is a temporary wilderness camp rather than a permanent safari lodge. It's a simpler style of accommodation that allows you to spend a night surrounded by the sights and sounds of the Delta before continuing your journey.

For many travellers, it's one of the most memorable parts of the safari, not because it's luxurious, but because it offers a closer connection to the wilderness.
