During your safari you travel by 4-wheel drive vehicles that offer you an exellent view of the immediate surroundings. This way you can observe the the wildlife more easily as you can move around much faster than traveling with a safari truck.
The tour is guided by very experienced, English speaking, African driver/guides.
On this safari we primarily spend the night in spacious dome tents which are equiped at the entrance with mosquito netting. A camp helper (assistant) that travels along with the group will set up your tent and will put up the beds as well. Near Victoria Falls we spend the night in attractive comfortable chalets.
The safari season in Botswana runs from March until November. From December until the beginning March is the rain season. In April and May the temperatures are very pleasant ranging from 60 to 85 degrees. Between May and August the dry winter period occurs. The wildlife follows the season. In Chobi the rain season attracts Zebra’s and other wild game to the Savutidepressie. At the end of this period from August until till October the wild game moves to the rivers and pools near the Chobi River. In Moremi and the Delta, due to the permanent availability of water, you can view game throughout the year. However due to the sparse vegetation and the short grass you can usually see this it at the end of the dry season.
During the safari the entrée fees for the national parks, Nxai park, Moremi Game Reserve and the Chobi National Park in the amount of $225.00 are included in the price of the trip. Any other entry fees are at your own expense.
