Most camps these days have a plunge or swimming pool and all are very attractive and comfortable if not luxurious. They are quoted on an ‘all-inclusive basis’, which includes accommodations, meals, professional wildlife guides and all wildlife activities by open safari vehicle, walks, watercraft or night game drives. Rates include park fees, taxes, most drinks and laundry. For small groups or families, we often can reserve the entire camp on an exclusive basis.

Accommodation consists of five private units, each with a bedroom for two, a lounge and a Victorian style bathroom with an outside shower. Each unit has a deck where you can sit and gaze at the vastness of the Kalahari bush, stretching for miles in front of you. The lodge has an ethnic African theme and was built to fit into the surrounding bush without altering, damaging or detracting from its ambience and color.

Wilderness Safaris’ EXPLORATIONS
Explorations are for small groups of up to 8 guests, or tailor-made for private groups. There are two types of Explorations: Discovery and Adventurer.

Wilderness Explorations campsites aim to bring the guest closer to nature, by means of lively campfires, hurricane lanterns, diverse activities and a warm atmosphere permeating the camp (and its simple comforts). Adventurer camps are specifically outfitted to create that camping feel with a clear emphasis on essential comforts and peerless wilderness experience.

 Adventurer Explorations

The style and essence of Wilderness Safaris' Adventurer Exploration safari takes you back to the long-gone days of Africa's exploration - the ultimate safari. Our 3m x3m dome tents, complete with verandas, allow you to feel more connected and open to the Earth and nature, accentuating the feeling of the wild and untamed. Pure cotton linen bedrolls (with duvets) on GI stretchers, bedside table with silver lantern and mini luggage benches add to the atmosphere. Shared separate toilet and shower 'bathrooms' with old-style tin bucket showers and basins and all amenities create simple serviced comfort.

Wilderness Safaris' newly designed, spacious walk-in meru tents create a sense of connectedness to the Earth and nature, enhances both the view and the feeling of the wild and untamed. The style of accommodation in the private Discoverer campsites takes you back to the era of Africa's exploration. Pure linens of heavy cottons, brass bucket showers and basins, separate flushing toilets and shower areas all add to the atmosphere, while luxury comforts and amenities are elegantly provided.

Explorations in General

Guides: The entire safari is guided and hosted by professional guides, who share their in-depth knowledge to present a seamless safari experience. To ensure total privacy and exclusivity, most areas in which we travel are private concessions in pristine, prime game locations. All camps are private and for the use of Adventurer Safari guests only.

Routes: The route takes the time to explore the contrasts, extremes and continually moving game of northern Botswana: from camping on islands in the jewel of the Kalahari, the Okavango Delta, and its crystal-clear waterways, to the game rich plains of the dry Savuti marsh and the seasonal elephant herds at our Linyanti concession.

Transfers: To maximize guests’ travel time, a variety of transport modes that bring out the best of each area is used: flying in private charters, overland transfers and exclusive combination mokoro-boat-land transfers provide both a birds-eye view and an in-depth experience of the contrasting landscapes of Botswana.
