Botswana Adventure

Botswana

Botswana offers a truly unique experience. It is a perfect destination for those in search of a real African adventure and for those with a longing to recreate the original African safari.

There are so many ways to explore the Botswana wilderness which include walking, mokoros (traditional dug out canoes), canoe safaris, on horse back or even elephant back safaris. Botswana also offers fabulous luxury mobile tented safaris, which are perfect for families or larger groups wishing to experience a safari in a more private way. Each of these safari options, be it a three day mokoro trail or a ten day private luxury mobile safari, are in the company of a top safari guide who will accompany you throughout your journey and provide you with their enviable knowledge of the bush and all that Botswana has to offer.

Mobile tented safaris tend to be more basic in terms of accommodation compared to permanent camps. When on a mobile tented camp safari your camp moves every day, so as you head off on your game drive in the morning, you return to a new camp site in the evening allowing you to see and experience as many different settings as possible and enriching your safari experience as a result. Paraffin lanterns and a crackling camp fire set the evening camp ambience as you sit down to enjoy a delicious dinner under the stars.

Regardless of what kind of safari you choose to do, whether it be by horse, mokoro, foot or elephant, the game experience will be fantastic and offers something very different to the normal 4X4 safari. Some of these safari options complement a stay in a permanent lodge or permanent tented camp to maximize your overall experience of a safari in Botswana. A horse riding safari or a private luxury mobile safari are ideal simply taken on their own for a week and then combined with a stay in Victoria Falls for example or head to the white sandy beaches of Mozambique for a Robinson Crusoe beach break at the end of your holiday.

It was absolutely fantastic and Original’s incredible organisation meant that we could float from place to place without ever having to even think and it was really all a bit of a dream!

All in all it really was the most wonderful honeymoon and exactly as we had wanted and imagined; an active but very special holiday, seeing some amazing and beautiful places, doing some really fantastic activities and staying in such comfortable and charming hotels, and all without having to even think about it!  Our itinerary was lovely and full but in no way were we ever stressed or exha

Botswana was the birthplace of riding safaris, with the perfect combination of terrains to tackle. Do you want to ride through savannah, desert, wetlands or salt pans? The choice is yours.

The Okavango Delta

Botswana

When the Okavango River spills not into a lake or sea, but a 7,000 square miles section of the Kalahari Desert, an extraordinary landscape teeming with big game is created.

Botswana

The grasslands of the Kalahari and the lunar-like expanse of the Makgadikgadi saltpans highlight the sheer diversity of Botswana’s terrain. So much so that it can at times be hard to believe you are on the same continent let alone the same country as the Okavango wetlands.
