This safari has been prepared specifically with the accent on a safari that combines the adventure of a true African bush safari, access to big game, camping amongst the game without the boundary of artificial fences, together with a degree of comfort not normally found under these circumstances.
The safari will cover a number of distinct eco-systems within the Botswana and Namibian bush environments, including access to some National Parks as well as certain private game concession areas. It is a mobile safari, which means that many nights, camp will be pitched and struck again the next morning. The tour operator crew will take care of all this without intruding on your privacy.
Care has been taken in choosing this itinerary to include the following well known, and some lesser known but nonetheless exciting bush and game areas: Moremi Game Reserve, Chobe Game Reserve, Mudumu National Park, Caprivi Strip, Etosha Game Reserve.
* Optional Extra - Victoria Falls. If your time and schedule allows, many clients have previously requested adding on a day or two in Livingstone to sightsee Victoria Falls. This can be added in between days 8 and 9 on this itinerary, extending the safari to 15 or 16 days.
* Disclaimer. Whereas the tour operator has presented this itinerary in good faith, it is in the nature of a safari that for reasons beyond its control, not all aspects of the itinerary may be available at the time the safari takes place. In this instance, the operator will at its discretion replace certain items, venues or routes with those of a similar or equal nature.
* A word about this safari. This is a semi-luxury non-participation safari whereby a crew will accompany you throughout, making and breaking camp, cooking and serving all meals, as well as doing all camp chores. Your role is to sit back, relax and enjoy. Note also that all sleeping equipment is provided incl duvets and sheets (not sleeping bags), towels etc.
