Overview

There are few wildlife experiences in the world like a week spent in the Botswanan wilderness. This classic itinerary offers a lodge and luxury camping combination safari. We begin in Maun and take a small plane into the centre of the African bush. Flying over the vast landscapes, scrub land and waterways, we can spot giraffe, elephant and the larger wildlife as we swoop into our tented camp in the Moremi Game Reserve, on the eastern side of the Okavango Delta. This is the jewel of Botswana, and we waste no time climbing aboard our 4WD and experience it ourselves, keeping a watch for those Big 5. Birdlife is also very prolific in this area. After 3 nights here we drive to Savuti Game Reserve, a part of the larger Chobe National Park. Here the open grasslands attracts herds of zebra and wildebeest, which in turn draws in the lion prides for which Savuti is deservedly famous for. We enjoy our wild mobile camp for 2 nights, a true adventure. Our last stop in Botswana is Chobe National Park, where we have a boat cruise along the Chobe River which is possibly the most satisfying and relaxing game viewing activity in Southern Africa. We spend a few hours floating slowly down stream whilst watching the wildlife come down to drink. These include herds of elephants, crocodile, hippo, fish eagle and much more! The grand finale to this holiday is the ultimate waterfall – Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. All in all this short classic, is one of the best and the ultimate Botswana safari holiday choice.

Everything in Africa is on a big scale, and to cover the ground necessary, your journey across Southern Africa includes several long drives accompanied by Africa's spectacular scenery. Such drives, including your game drives, can often be on dirt tracks, graded roads and also tar highways. The 4WD land cruisers used have been custom-built to cope with such conditions. By flying on a light aircraft from Maun to Moremi we cut out a large section of driving, and enjoy a unique African experience at the same time. The flight is around 30mins.


All accommodation has en-suite facilities and is chosen for quality as well as wildlife viewing locations. On 2 nights whilst in Savuti we stay in a wild bush camp without fences in the wilderness area. The large classic safari style tents have twin camp beds with linen, en-suite chemical toilet and the crew will erect a bucket shower (with hot water off the fire). It’s a fantastic experience and allows us to get the very maximum out of our time in the country. In Moremi we stay in a lodge with individual fixed safari style tents. In Maun, Chobe and Victoria Falls we are in good lodges in beautiful African style.


This journey is suitable for those who wish to have complete submersion in Botswana to maximise the chances to see the incredible wildlife, and staying in enjoyable accommodation along the way.

Why KE?

Classic safari with posh camping and accommodation...and a light aircraft flight...all in just over a week. Bingo - this one hits the highs!
