Mopane Squirrel Safari



This good value Botswana safari divides its time between Lagoon Camp in the wildlife rich Kwando Reserve and Kwara Camp in the Okavango Delta over a period of 6 nights. Both of these camps use expert trackers as well as knowledgeable guides on all their activities. Explore the bush with them in search of lion, leopard, cheetah and wild dogs, which the Kwando Reserve is particularly well known for. Talk to us for more information on this trip or for help in planning a similar safari to suit you.

This Botswana safari can also easily be combined with a visit to see the Victoria Falls. See our trips to Livingstone for examples of the add-on options, and their costs.
