Detailed Trip Description

Explore the contrasts, extremes and continually moving wildlife of three different habitats in northern Botswana’s Kalahari Desert: from the waterless moonscape of the Makgadikgadi salt pans to the broad vistas of the plant-rich desert pans and dunes of the Nxai Pans, ending in the fertile green islands of the Okavango Delta and its crystal-clear waterways. A variety of travel modes that bring out the best of each area is used: flying in private charters, overland transfers and exclusive combination mokoro- boat-land transfers provide both a bird’s-eye view and an in- depth experience of the different landscapes of Botswana. Safari expertly compiled to maximize the contrasting diversity and experiences of the DRY Kalahari Desert and Makgadikgadi Pans with the WET Okavango Delta. Abundant desert and savannah wildlife encountered. Exciting, distinctive activities include suricate walks, San (Bushman) cultural experience, Baines’ Baobabs lunch, brown hyaena viewing, quad biking (seasonal) and island walks in Moremi Game Reserve. Serviced safari camps erected with large and comfortable dome tents. Charter by air to Makgadikgadi Pans for extra guest comfort. The style and essence of Wilderness Safaris’ Adventurer Exploration safari takes you back to the long-gone days of Africa’s exploration – the ultimate safari. Our 3m x 3m dome tents, complete with verandas, allow you to feel more connected and open to the Earth and nature, accentuating the feeling of the wild and untamed. Pure cotton linen bedrolls (with down duvets) on GI stretchers, teak bedside table with silver lantern and mini luggage benches add to the atmosphere. Shared separate toilet and shower ‘bathrooms’ with old-style tin bucket showers and basins and all amenities create simple serviced comfort.
