Botswana Mobile Camping safari Styles

There are three main types of Botswana mobile camping safaris. On all of them you have camp staff to do the 'dirty' work and make delicious meals, but the comfort of the accommodation varies extensively. All three options also include all the equipment, all meals, water, activities, park and camping fees, private vehicles with driver/guides and local taxes.

At the lower end of the market we have adventure Safari camping.

 This is the only truly mobile camp in that it can be set up and taken down on a daily basis if required. Using this level of accommodation, clients sleep in two man igloo style tents that are large enough to sit up right inside. They offer plenty of space for two people with their bags and have sewn in groundsheets and fly sheets for shade and extra rain protection. Mattresses on the ground are used for comfort and bedding is provided. The staff will dig short drop toilets for guests, or you use the facilities provided at the public campsites, which are used for these trips. The campsites also provide showers, or the staff heat up water for you when required and place it in a safari shower bag. Meals are excellent, with breakfast, lunch and dinner served under the stars family style, with the food placed on the table for you to help yourselves. In case of rain a flysheet is provided for the dining area. This style of camping lets you go pretty much anywhere you wish and is excellent for those on a budget or willing to have a bit of adventure. Prices range from US$ 220 - US$ 120 per person per day depending upon the number of people on the trip.

In the mid range we have Classic Safari Camping.

These camps take the best part of a day to set up and so whilst you can move on a daily basis if you wished, we tend to recommend staying 3 nights or more in each location before moving. Private campsites are booked for this level of camping. The tents here are large, stand up tents with cot beds, a bedside table, a small verandah and space for the bags. Again, full bedding is provided so sleeping bags are not necessary. Toilets and showers are shared between the guests, we normally provide one shower and toilet tent for women and one for men but if a group is large more are provided. A dining tent is set up with a small bar and meals are served with a bit more decoration such as tablecloths and candles. The food is still served family style with large bowls placed on the table for you to help yourselves. Prices here range between US$ 200 - US$ 350 per person per day.

Finally we have the Luxury Safari Camping.

These camps take at least two days to set up and so we use them in combination with small, private lodges. You would stay in a private campsite for three or four nights and then in a lodge for the next two while the camp is moved to the next location. The tents used for this level of camping are huge. Full size double beds can easily fit inside, along with bedside tables, luggage racks and wardrobes! These tents also have ensuite toilet, sink and shower facilities for total privacy. The staff provides hot water at any time required. Dining tents are set up along with a free bar and the food is served to each individual by the staff. Extremely comfortable, this style of camping takes you back to the old traditional safaris of the last century where every possible luxury was provided; white linen tablecloths, crystal glasses and fine wines! Prices here range from US$ 330 - US$ 600 per person per day depending upon the number of people in your group.
