This is the most incredible experience, we travelled in September 2024 and the more we look back and remember it, the more unbelievable it feels. We wild camped in tents in the African savanna!
This isn’t a holiday. It’s an adventure.
I can’t imagine a better way to travel on safari. We saw everything we wanted to, and learnt a lot about the animals, birds, and environment. Highlights included the mokoro through the delta, a large pack of painted dogs in Savuti, and leopards in Savuti and Moremi. When you are wild camping you are in the middle of the parks and reserves so you are the first group in the action. This safari trip will be very hard to beat as one of our best ever travel experiences.
Kalahari Desert
Kalahari Desert Trips
The Kalahari is a vast sand basin that stretches some 360,000mi (930,000sqkm) across Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, taking in the Okavango Delta and other wetlands. Despite the arid landscape, there’s an abundance of wildlife, including meerkats, Kalahari lions, gemsbok, Cape cobras and other animals. The San people, nomadic hunter-gatherers who are said to be the oldest residents of southern Africa, also live here.
Join one of our small-group adventures to Botswana and Namibia that include Kalahari desert tours. Camp on the Makgadikgadi salt pans in the drier season, and marvel at the spectacular sunsets over the sweltering African savannah. The unruly desert landscape will stay with you long after you leave.

C Ly Wildlife & Wilderness of Botswana
M B Wildlife & Wilderness of BotswanaExcellent trip with so much wildlife . Elephants , lions , leopard, african wild dogs , hippos, crocs ….the list goes on. Thats without listing all the birds.
Michelle Stone Wildlife & Wilderness of BotswanaWe have done trips with wild camping before but this trip took things to the next level. On this trip you really do get away from it all and get very close to the wildlife. You really will be amongst the animals you’ve come to see. Early morning starts (be ready for 05:30 alarm calls) are worth it for seeing the animals still active before the heat of the day. ‘Assisted camping’ makes the whole experience more relaxing, with a great support crew to take care of putting up/taking down tents and preparing great meals. (You won’t go hungry.)
