Expedition Botswana

A guided safari expedition to remote and private reserves in Botswana for the best game viewing!

Trip Overview
  • Visit Botswana’s remote private reserves for superb game viewing available nowhere else
  • Explore the wildlife-rich waterways of the Okavango Delta by dugout canoe
  • Overnight in private tented safari camps, where adventure meets unexpected comfort

Can you imagine the sight and sound of a hundred elephants marching by your Land Rover at close range? In the wilds of Botswana, that’s not unheard of. In fact, Botswana offers a safari experience evocative of earlier days, when the African wilderness was uncrowded and synonymous with adventure. Our Private Expedition Camps make that possible still, situated deep in the bush among buffalo, elephants, zebras, gemsbok, kudu, hartebeest, giraffes, lions, leopards, cheetahs, warthogs, hyenas and hippos. A commitment to small-scale eco-travel

is sustaining vast animal populations in Botswana, and we can’t wait to share the wonders with you.


Location of Adventure
Botswana, Southern Africa

Group Size Limit: Approximately 8 Travelers
A very important feature of our trips is the limited group size as nature expeditions are best experienced with smaller sized groups of travelers.

Physical Requirements
Easy

Our walking activities are usually short and optional. We do, however, recommend that travelers who participate in these programs be of an adventurous spirit, as they will often enjoy the very closest of animal encounters.


Important Information about This Trip

We have designed this trip for those guests whose African dreams include the most remote wildlife experience available and don’t mind more simple accommodations to accomplish that goal. An added benefit is that the rate is great. We have combined luxury permanent tented camps (all amenities en suite) with our special Adventurer Camps to provide comfort while enhancing the total safari experience. On these trips changes to the itinerary may occur in order to take advantage of conditions unique to the season. Depending upon availability, itineraries may run in a different order.


Getting There & Getting Home
You must arrive in Livingstone, Zambia by 3pm on Day 1 and can depart Maun, Botswana after 1pm on the final day. We can best serve you if Natural Habitat Adventures’ Travel Desk makes these reservations for you as they are intimately familiar with the special requirements of these programs and can arrange the most efficient and cost-effective travel. Please call us at  1-800-543-8917  .
