Please note: Prior booking is essential.
Our most popular optional extra – exclusive-use game drives – allows guests to enjoy a fully private safari experience. With sole use of a game drive vehicle and guide, you have the flexibility to explore at your own pace, focus on your wildlife interests, and enjoy a more intimate experience in the bush.
With over 30% of Africa’s wildlife being strictly nocturnal, night drives offer an incredible opportunity to encounter species rarely seen during the day. The adventure begins after dinner, with a 2-hour drive into the darkness, where spotlights reveal the secretive world of predators, owls, and other nocturnal creatures.
For those seeking the ultimate on-foot safari experience, we offer expertly guided bush walks – much more than a casual stroll, these are thrilling and immersive journeys into the heart of the wild. Led by two armed, highly trained guides, these 3 – 4 hour treks bring you up close to Africa’s iconic wildlife, allowing you to track animals, explore the finer details of the ecosystem, and experience nature in its rawest form.
Your safety is our top priority, which is why we ensure two armed guides accompany every walk, providing you with constant protection while delivering a truly authentic and exciting adventure.
This is not a typical “bumble around camp” – this is the real deal.
Top Tips:
During your downtime, embark on a journey from your camp or lodge to the village of Sherobe, located on the very edges of the Okavango Delta. Your guide will introduce you to village life and its unique connection to the surrounding environment.
A true highlight of this excursion is visiting the grass weavers of Sherobe – a group of skilled women who practice an ancient craft, weaving palm leaves into intricate and beautiful baskets. These genuine African crafts are one-of-a-kind and offer a window into the region’s rich cultural heritage.
Cattle farming is deeply ingrained in the local culture, and in days past, a man’s wealth was measured by the number of cattle he owned. Though the challenges of wildlife, such as elephants and lions, still pose significant risks, this tradition endures today.
During this excursion, you’ll visit a real cattle outpost situated on the edge of a vast wildlife region. This experience offers a rare chance to witness firsthand the challenges of cattle farming in this remote and often dangerous environment. It’s a true and unfiltered experience, “warts and all,” as we say.
Experience the thrill of a helicopter flight over the vast expanse of the Okavango Delta. As you soar above, you’ll pass over rural villages and cattle outposts on the very edge of the wilderness, before venturing deep into Botswana’s untamed landscapes. This exhilarating journey offers a unique perspective of the Delta’s waterways, wildlife, and remote beauty – a truly fascinating and unforgettable adventure.
