If you settle down in a mokoro canoe at one of the one end of the Okavango Delta and ask your guide to punt you all the way across to the other end you will arrive three weeks later.
If you start a game drive at the eastern edge of the Kwando Private Reserve to Linyanti and do due west, you will still be in the reserve eight hours later. One huge reserve with just small camps, this is a land of vast open spaces, massive wildlife concentrations and very few tourists.
Botswana is a land of scenic contrast; from the intricate waterways and green richness of the Okavango Delta, to the big herds, savannah plains of Linyanti and the fascinating wilderness of the central Kalahari deserts.
If your family were to spend three days at Lebala Camp with a private guide you can hope to see magnificent herds of elephant, the world’s fastest animal, the cheetah, a pack of rare wild dog, lion and leopard and countess antelope, giraffe and buffalo roaming the big open plains.
If you were to spend time at Little Vumbura your family would stay in a special family room – two tented rooms set back to back, joined by an en-suite bathroom. With your private guide you can explore the Okavango channels with its astonishing birdlife by boat and dugout “mokoro”. You can learn to identify animals by their tracks on a walking safari, and later that afternoon will be driven slowing across the private reserve seeing hug buffalo herds, catching a troupe of baboons squabbling and play-acting, and a menacing pride of lion encircling a herd of nervous antelope.
In the drier Kalahari regions we can arrange for san bushmen guides to share their age and understanding of bushcraft, show you the meerkats, brown hyena and explain the fragile balance of the desert environments.
The seasonality within the Okavango Delta and the drier savannah and desert regions is complex and we can design a perfect itinerary including the best places for the time of year you to travel.
