BOTSWANA SAFARIS

Green Desert Expedition
7-night Adventurer Safari
This safari is designed with an itinerary tailor-made to maximize game viewing of dry habitat species during the infrequent rains occurring around year end, plus camping on the fertile islands of the Okavango Delta.  The most productive season in the Kalahari occurs during and just after the short, annual rains and this water creates an Eden of game viewing in an otherwise year-round dry region.

Njuca Hills Camping - Makgadikgadi Pans - 2 nights
Deception Valley Camping - Central Kalahari Game Reserve - 3 nights
Xigera Mokoro Trails - Okavango Delta - 2 nights

Xigera Mokoro and Walking Trails
2-night / 3-day Camping Safari
The Xigera Mokoro Trails have set departures from May through October on 3-day excursions designed to take advantage of the arrival of the Okavango Delta floodwaters.  The safaris depart from Xigera Camp, deep in the Okavango Delta and set off deep into the Okavango waters for an incredible adventure.

Guests will ride in the flat-bottom canoes of the Okavango's Bayei people (the "River Bushmen").  These canoes, called mekoros, are the traditional mode of transport for the Bayei and this safari will consist of daily mekoro rides amidst the myriad islands, with stops on the islands for walking and exploring.  Camp sites will be set up on islands for overnighting.

Truly a brilliant experience and highly recommended!

Chitabe Walking Trail
2-night Walking Safari
This safari focuses on exploring the region around Chitabe Camp in Botswana's Okavango Delta on foot.  A walking safari has always been regarded as a way to truly get in touch with the spirit of the African bush.  An armed and highly trained walking guide will accompany guests on 2 days of walking (several hours of walking per day) with plenty of time for viewing wildlife and birds along the way.

Nights are spent in specially designed, elevated hides located in different sections of the concession.  One hide overlooks a lovely floodplain, while the second is situated along a grassy savanna which is popular with grazing elephants.  Both hides offer an experience of sleeping amongst the sounds of the African night while offering the safety to sleep comfortably.

Most guests combine this safari with a night at Chitabe Camp before moving on to their next destination.

Wings Over the Okavango and Linyanti
6 to 9-night Luxury Safari
This safari travels between camps by small plane and visits 3 camps, 2 in the Okavango Delta with one focusing more on water activities, and a third camp in the Linyanti region of northern Botswana.  The safari endeavors to give guests a nice sampling of different habitats and safari activities within the Okavango and Linyanti regions.

Both regions on this safari are fantastic game viewing destinations and the birding is also superb.  We recommend at least 2 nights per camp but 3 is better to get a true feel for each area.

This safari has NO SET DEPARTURE DATES and is customized in terms of camps visited based upon the time of year guests wish to travel.  Pricing will also vary depending upon the itinerary and the time of year traveling.  Additional camps and nights may be added as well.
