A very special safari that explores Botswana's unique Okavango Delta eco-system.
This eleven night wild camping safari spends six nights in Moremi Game Reserve in two very different areas before plunging deeper into the true Okavango Delta, where we will spend three nights. Here we will be able to partake in walking and mokoro (traditional dugout boats) excursions as well as the usual game drives. The other two nights are spent in a comfortable hotel im Maun. The variety of wildlife in this region will astound you, from the largest elephant to the smallest Red-biiled quelea (bird). Predators abound - lions, leopards, painted dogs (African wild dogs), crocodiles and spotted hyenas, plus a vast array of large herbivores like hippos, zebra, giraffe, eland, kudu, roan antelope and many smaller species. This is indeed a very special place, unique on our planet.
Our partner and experienced safari operator is Kalahari Breeze Safaris, who supply specially modified open game viewing vehicles as well as a professional driver/guide, an amazing chef and a professional camp crew, for whom nothing is too much trouble.
*OUR MAXIMUM GROUP SIZE IS JUST 7 GUESTS.*
One of the many wonderful things about this camping safari is that you don't have to erect the tent or cook, wash-up the dishes or any of the other onerous tasks that camping often involves. The crew does everything for you. You even have an ensuite shower and toilet annex with your tent. Meals are always simple, varied and tasty. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the dishes that our talented chef produces.

We depart after breakfast for Moremi Game Reserve. After about 90 minutes on the road, we enter the wilderness area, where we can expect to see wildlife at any time. The rest of the day is a game drive to our first overnight camp, arriving between 6pm and 6.30pm, in time for drinks and dinner. We have a picnic lunch in the bush.
After breakfast on the 14th of May we have a game drive to a boat ramp, from where we will enjoy a motorboat excursion in the channels of the Okavango Delta. After this we continue our morning game drive, returning to the camp for lunch. After lunch there is time for a shower and a nap before afternoon tea and an afternoon game drive, again returning to the camp in time for dinner and a chat around the camp fire. On the 15th of May the day follows roughly the same plan as the previous day, except that there is a full morning and afternoon game drive without the boat excursion.
Today, after breakfast we have a full day's game drive to out 2nd camp in Moremi Game Reserve.
