Botswana & Zimbabwe Lodge Safari

We aim to secure locally owned accommodation that is well located, offers good value for money, and plenty of comfort. To help you find your ideal adventure, each trip is given a Comfort Level rating, which indicates the overall standard of accommodation. For more on our ratings, see our Comfort Level guidelines.



For this trip, we spend nine nights in lodges, two nights in a hotel and two nights of full-service camping. The normal accommodation used is on the day-to-day itinerary.



Wild camping in the Okavango Delta







The highlight stay on this trip for many, however, is our two nights of wild camping in the Okavango Delta. Our neighbours, which you’ll likely hear shuffling around at night, include hippos, elephants and lions, while our away-from-it-all location normally allows us to see a night sky illuminated with stars. To make things easier, our camp is set up for us and all equipment is provided. We sleep in spacious, two-person tents fitted with mattress-topped camp beds and there is a bush shower and toilet, while dinner is taken around our atmospheric campfire.



Worth knowing



Tailor your trip: Extend your adventure by securing extra hotel nights before or after the main itinerary. Speak to your sales representative to book.

Private rooms: Like most tour operators, we room solo passengers together. If you’d prefer to have a private room, it’s normally possible to do this for a supplement. Speak to your sales representative to book.

Facilities: Most properties have swimming pools and wifi (although this can be unreliable).

Day 7: Our accommodation on Day 7 is either at Nata Lodge or Elephant Sands Lodge. Nata Lodge is a permanent tented camp, offering comfortable rooms, in part made of canvas, with private bathrooms – a quintessential African safari experience.
