Tracking lions through wild grasses, falling asleep to the low rumble of elephants under canvas skies.

This extraordinary journey through Botswana’s greatest wildernesses begins in the remote vastness of the Central Kalahari, where you walk with San Bushmen and witness desert lions at a predator rehab project. Then, your private mobile camp moves deep into the heart of the Okavango Delta and Chobe, where elephants roam and wild dogs hunt in the early morning light. Guided by expert trackers and staying in fully serviced camps set up just for you, this is a proper, old-school safari—intimate, raw and thrilling.

The honeymoon of a lifetime! Great service from James. We loved the safari in the Okavango Delta – great guides/trackers, good service and saw some great animals. A fabulous location.

Colin Brown, Botswana

We loved the safari in Botswana. The lodges and the quality of guides was truly outstanding. It was a phenomenal experience that gave us memories to last a lifetime.

Harry Webb, Botswana

We loved every minute of our safari – each place and lodge visited was very different, with its own unique experiences. All in all it was a wonderful adventure with the most beautiful of scenery and people. Our driver was very informative and determined to find us every wild animal under the sun! No rhino but we did see a spitting cobra and a massive python!

Jess Adkins, Botswana

The experience was fantastic. The African culture, the wildlife and all the personal touches from the lodge hosts. A measure of a good holiday is one you want to repeat; we would both do this trip again tomorrow – brilliant.

Tour itinerary

Days 1 - 4:

Depart the UK for Maun and central Kalahari immersion

Fly overnight from the UK to Maun (via Johannesburg).

On arrival in Maun, you will board a light aircraft for your short hop into the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. You’ll spend 3 nights at Grasslands Bushman Lodge on a full board basis. This family-owned retreat is set on its own private wildlife reserve. Expect warm hospitality, open plains and the call of the wild.

You will now have 2 full days at leisure. Head out on game drives, visit the predator rehabilitation project and — most memorably — learn traditional skills with San Bushmen. This is one of the most immersive cultural experiences in Botswana.

Days 5 - 7:

Private mobile safari in Moremi

This morning you will fly north by light aircraft to Xakanaxa in the heart of the Moremi Game Reserve for your Mobile Camping adventure! You will now spend 3 nights on a full-board basis at your tented camp, set up exclusively for you. It perfectly blends wilderness with comfort — hot showers, cold drinks, and crackling fires under the stars.

Days 6 and 7 will be spent with your expert guide and private 4×4. Explore this incredible region full of wildlife and birdlife. Leopard, lion, wild dog and red lechwe roam here, while herons and fish eagles call from the papyrus channels.

Days 8 - 11:

Zebra trails and predator territory

After a final game drive in Moremi, continue overland to Savuti, the predator-rich heart of Chobe National Park, where your mobile camp is once again pitched just for you for 3 nights on a full-board basis.

You will have 2 full days at leisure. This is classic Botswana safari territory—big skies, baobabs, and lions hunting zebra in the long grass. Mornings begin with tea by the fire and thrilling drives as the savannah wakes up; afternoons are for relaxing siestas before heading back out on an evening game drive and returning to be sat under the stars.

Following a final morning game drive on day 11, you will take a light aircraft to Maun, where you will then connect with your international flight back home.
