Botswana

Botswana is known as "the land of contrasts".  It is where the Kalahari Desert meets the reedy waterways of the Okavango Delta and the picturesque white salt pans of the Makgadikgadi.  Enjoy the unique blend of game, flora and fauna.

Botswana is also known for the acclaimed Chobe National Park where the landscape changes from flood plain to forest...lake bed to ridges of sand.  Moremi Wildlife Reserve topography ranges from lagoons and winding waterways to flood planes, forests and dry land.

We can recommend camps in each of the above reserves.  We are passionate about Botswana where safari camps offer an intimate wilderness experience, sleep a maximum of 16 guests in luxurious tents with en-suite facilities, provide plunge pools and game viewing by open Land Rover, on foot, boat dug out canoe or elephant back.

Camps

While we recommend a variety of camps and locations, our preferred supplier is Wilderness Safaris - an African adventure travel company committed to providing highly memorable, safe, educational and fun safaris.  They achieve this goal by taking their guests back in time to remote corners of Africa where they have built small, comfortable camps that offer an unspoiled wildlife experience.  All the Wilderness Safari camps offer twice day game viewing activities - early morning and late afternoon/evening.  Game activities vary by camp.

Mombo Camp

Mombo is situated on Mombo Island, adjoining the northern tip of Chief's Island in the Moremi Game Reserve in northern Botswana.  The camp offers true exclusivity and privacy in the central Okavango, coupled with abundant big game, arguably the best in Botswana.

  • 18 bedded tented camp
  • Game drives in open 4 x 4 vehicles, with some short walks

There is so much to offer in Botswana and many more camps such as:

  • Linyanti Explorations - walking safaris, Selinda Camp & Zibillianja Camp, Jacks & San Camp, Kwando Camp, Xugana Lodge and Xaxanaka Camp
  • Chobe Game Lodge & Chobe Chilwero
  • Other Wilderness Camps - Duba Plains, Xigera, Kwetsani Camp, Jao Camp, Kings Pool Camp, and Savuti Camp.

  • Botswana's winter is comfortable, with sunny days averaging 78 degrees and much cooler nights.
  • Summer's are hot.  Temperatures can reach 100 degrees.  Occasional rains bring relief.

 The best time to see Botswana is July - September.  However, travelers now enjoy Botswana throughout the year.  No longer is the season limited from April-October.

No matter when you choose to travel, we can customize an itinerary to suit your wishes and needs.  We know the right camp for the right time of the year to provide the best experience.
