Botswana: water and land
The Delta by mokoro, the north by vehicle, no shared sightings.

Botswana for couples
Water and land camps in the Okavango, by light aircraft, with no other vehicles at the sighting.
Botswana is the safari for couples who have done one before, or who want to start at the quiet end. Low numbers by policy mean private concessions, few vehicles and camps of eight or ten tents where the staff know your names by the first dinner.
Tell us how many nights and whether you want the Delta from the water, the big game of the dry country, or both. Both is usually right.
Where we go
A water camp on a private Okavango concession for mokoro, boat and birdlife, then a land camp in Moremi, Khwai or the Linyanti for lion, leopard and the elephant herds. Light aircraft connect them in half an hour. Victoria Falls is a short flight for two nights at the end.
How the week runs
Seven to nine nights across two camps. Dawn drives or mokoro, a long breakfast, a pause through the heat, then an afternoon that ends on the water or at a sundowner with nobody else in sight. Sleep-out decks and private dinners are easy to arrange.
Who it suits and when
Honeymoons, significant anniversaries and return safari travellers. June to October for the dry season and high water in the Delta; November to April for the green season, dramatic skies and much better value.

Questions about couples and honeymoons in Botswana
Is Botswana worth the extra cost?
For privacy and wilderness, yes. For a first safari on a tighter budget, Kenya or South Africa may suit better. We say which we think is right for you.
Is there a planning fee?
No. The first conversation and the proposal are free. You pay when you accept the plan.
Is this a live booking?
No. It is a starting point. A specialist writes a private proposal and availability is confirmed then.
