Botswana
Botswana: water and land
The Delta by mokoro, the north by vehicle, no shared sightings.
A nine-night private Botswana safari: a water camp in the Okavango, a land camp on a private concession, and three nights in the north for elephant.
Botswana is a safari of contrasts, and the camps are small enough that you will often be the only vehicle at a sighting. The plan pairs a water camp with a land camp, then heads north for the elephant herds.
This is a trip for people who have been on safari before and want more wilderness and less schedule.
Highlights
- Mokoro and boat days in the Okavango
- A land camp on a private concession

Questions about this journey
Can we add Victoria Falls?
Yes. Two nights at the Falls at the end is a short flight from Kasane.
What is the best season?
June to October is the dry season and the classic time, with high water in the Delta. November to April is green, quiet and significantly better value, with some rain.
Is it suitable for children?
From about twelve at most of the camps we use, and some have a minimum age. For younger children we propose a private house with its own guide instead.
