Expedition Botswana

A Classic Tented Safari that Reveals the Best of Remote Botswana

Natural beauty, spectacular wildlife, sweeping vistas, and amazing African sunsets await you in the remote and private reserves of Botswana.

Northern Botswana is home to almost ninety thousand elephants. Within the Moremi Game Reserve of the Okavango Delta, you'll walk on the wildlife-rich islands, where elephants live with lechwes, sitatungas, and buffaloes.

Your Adventure Camp at Linyanti has walk-in dome tents taking you back to the great days of true African expeditions. Pure cotton linen bedrolls (with duvets) on stretchers and bedside tables with silver lanterns add to the wild, camping atmosphere.

Your Expedition Leader revels in taking you off the beaten path to the best wildlife areas.

Cape buffaloes are very powerful creatures, demanding respect even from a pride of lions. They will return a big cat's aggression, sometimes fatally injuring a lion. It typically takes multiple lions to bring down a single adult buffalo.

On game drives our four-wheel vehicles give us the opportunity to get off the beaten path and into the wildlife action in comfort and safety.

Over the past few thousand years, Okavango Delta lions have become adapted in subtle, but significant, ways to their watery existence. They have to swim at certain times of the year, or at least cross the water. A savanna lion would likely have less success hunting buffaloes in the water than a lion born and raised in the delta.

Warthogs are very fast runners and capable jumpers. They will often run with their tails in the air. Despite poor eyesight, warthogs have a good sense of smell, which they use for locating food, detecting predators, and recognizing other animals.

Our open 4x4 vehicles allow for the best game viewing opportunities.

A leisurely canoe trip on the Linyanti waterways will allow you to glide silently past wildlife, before returning to camp at dusk. Crocodiles can be found in the Linyanti marshes. They are an ancient lineage and are believed to have changed little since the time of the dinosaurs.

In Chobe National Park, hyena clans, sometimes numbering as many as forty, have confronted lion prides. Hyenas and lions compete as hunters and often steal each other's kills, with hyenas often driving lions away from their own kills. Hyenas, however, are not greedy; they take away only what they need.

A river cruise down the Chobe River offers a unique vantage point from which to observe the park’s famous herds of elephant, puku, numerous hippos, crocodiles and diverse birds. (C) Caroline Culbert

You'll depart Botswana and enter Zambia by way of the Kazungula border, a point where the four countries of Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Zambia meet. Your Expedition Leader will guide you through the transition of countries.

A walk on the wild side may be possible when the opportunity arises. Safety is of utmost importance. (C) Dana Allan

Botswana is renowned for its wildlife. In fact, it is bursting with life …

… and with landscapes and sunsets to be savored by those with an adventurer's heart.
