Botswana Safaris | Safari and Soul

Botswana is safari at its most exclusive: vast private concessions, small camps, and the Okavango Delta, a wetland of channels and islands where you travel by mokoro as often as by vehicle.

Low-volume, high-value tourism is national policy, and it shows. A camp of eight tents may have a concession the size of a small country to itself, with walking, night drives and off-road driving all permitted.

We combine a water camp in the Delta with a dry-land camp in the Moremi or Linyanti, then, when it suits the journey, fly on to Victoria Falls for a final two nights at the edge of the Zambezi.

Our approach

Fewer camps, longer stays

Three nights is the minimum we recommend anywhere. It takes a day to arrive, a day to settle, and only then does the bush start to show itself. In Botswana we typically pair two or three camps chosen for contrast, not for ticking regions off a map.
