The Safari company we use have become the world’s first recipient of the newly introduced World Legacy Awards, in the Nature Travel Category, as created by National Geographic Traveler and Conservation International. This unique award system is set to recognize and profile leading examples of sustainable tourism and nature conservation efforts around the world, where environmentally and socially responsible tourism practices are helping protect and nurture our planet’s precious natural and cultural resource-base.
This is a flying safari, which departs every day of the year to any of the camps in our portfolio in the Okavango and Linyanti, for any duration of time. Each safari is customised to each guest's requirements.
Guests can create their own itinerary to visit their preferred camps. Resident guides at each camp will host their guests throughout their area.
In the Okavango and Linyanti, there are four types of camps:
The Okavango camps offering water activities like mokoro-ing, boating and walking
Those which offer a mixture of both land and water experiences.
Then to the North - East, the Linyanti area offers a very different wildlife experience. The camps, which fall into the categories, are:
Okavango / Land only: Chitabe, Chitabe Trails, Mombo and Little Mombo.
Okavango / Water only: Xigera - in years of high water levels. O kavango/Mixed activities: Duba Plains, Jao, Kwetsani, Vumbura, Little Vumbura and Xigera.
Linyanti Area: DumaTau, Kings Pool, Linyanti Tented Camp and Savuti Camp.
All accommodation, all meals, all activities, all park and concession fees are included in your fare - as are all local drinks. The Safaris can be started or ended in either Maun, Kasane or Victoria Falls. Maun is linked daily from Johannesburg on Air Botswana's services. Prices vary according to where you start and finish your safari.
This is how a sample five day / four night safari would run. However, as these safaris are all customised to an individual's needs, these safaris can last up to 14 days or longer:
Day 1 and 2 : Okavango Delta
On arrival in Maun, you clear customs and then meet up with Wilderness Safaris representative. You then board a light aircraft for an air transfer to the camp of your choice - and enjoy the twice-daily activities on offer at the camp.
Day 3 and 4 : Okavango Delta or Linyanti
From your camp, you generally enjoy the last morning's game drive and are then flown to your next camp, where you are met by your guide and transferred to camp in open 4x4 Land Rovers.
Day 5 : Safari ends
You are flown back to Maun or Kasane for the end of your safari.
Departure Dates:
This depends on the camps chosen and the duration of your safari.
