• Location: Mobile tented luxury safari’s and camping are a specialty in Botswana, and we will tailor-make a safari to suite your wildest dreams. Let us suggest exclusive destinations like Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta and Khwai area, Chobe National Park and the Linyanti Marsh, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Makgadikgadi & Nxai Pan. We may also include other destinations on request, be it in Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Tanzania or another location in Africa.

 

• How to get there? Most safaris start or end in either Maun or Kasane. Road transfers can be arranged, but for the best safari experience we recommend the use of charter flights from your international airport of arrival (Johannesburg, Harare, Bulawayo, Victoria Falls or Gaborone) and from one safari location to another. African Bush Camps will make the necessary arrangements with third operators to ensure all your transfers. Please check out our safari maps or contact us for more information.
