Take a journey into the wilds of Botswana. Glide along the Okavango Delta in traditional makoros and admire a billion stars from the otherworldly and eerily silent Makgadikgadi Pans. Search for Africa’s emblematic wildlife on the Savuti Marsh and the Moremi reserve and take to the Chobe River, known for having the highest concentration of elephants anywhere. Finally discover why David Livingstone, upon seeing Victoria Falls, declared ‘scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight.
  • Game viewing by foot, by safari vehicle and by boat
  • Good chances of seeing both Africa’s emblematic wildlife as well as some of its lesser species
  • The other-worldly silent beauty of the Makgadikgadi Pan
  • Gliding along the Okavango Delta waterways in Mokoro canoes and wild camping in the wetlands
  • The mighty Victoria Falls

Camping in the African wilderness is a bucket list experience for many adventure travellers and Botswana is a fantastic destination for this. When we stay at public campsites, we have access to excellent facilities; however, the nights spent wild camping are the real highpoint. Our stays in Moremi Game Reserve and Savuti Marsh are both at private campsites in beautiful locations where we won’t see or hear anyone else. What we will hear though, and possibly see, is the wildlife.



On this trip, we spend 11 nights full-service camping and two nights normally in a hotel, lodge or chalet at the Victoria Falls. We sleep in spacious, two-person tents fitted with mattress-topped camp beds. For the wild camping nights, there is a bush shower and toilet, while dinner is taken around our campfire.



Wild camping in the Okavango Delta







The highlight stay on this trip for many 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.
