This good value Botswana safari divides its time between Banoka Bush Camp in the Khwai area, on the border of the Moremi Game Reserve and Saile Tented Camp in the Chobe Enclave; over a period of 6 nights. The Khwai area is exceptionally diverse in terms of habitat and Banoka has a great variety of activities on offer - and while both of these camps use good guides, Saile Tented Camp prides themselves on particularly strong guiding. Explore the bush in open 4x4 safari vehicles, by mokoro and on foot, in search of lion, leopard, wild dogs, elephants and more.

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.

The trip is an individual trip, and can be tailor-made and adapted to suit you.
