Wilds of Botswana

Custom Travel | 11 Days

Private reserves and exclusive camps carefully chosen for the season
Meander the waterways of the Okavango Delta by mokoro
Spot hippos, zebras, lions, lechwe, even swimming elephants
Uncover the Linyanti Wetlands, renowned for its huge concentrations of Kalahari elephant
Get up-close with the meerkats of Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and experience the bush alongside San trackers

A one-of-a-kind natural masterpiece, the Okavango Delta is the happy result of the 1,000-mile long Okavango River’s failure to find an outlet to the sea, thus creating the world’s largest inland delta. On this custom journey, delve into the bounty of the delta and the equally entrancing Makgadikgadi Salt Pans—an entirely different ecosystem within Botswana’s borders.

Among a dizzying variety of flora and fauna, you’ll experience unforgettable wildlife interactions from one exquisite reserve to the next, always based from the most exclusive, comfortable camps.
