Ground Squirrel Safari: Day-by-day
More detailed information of what each day entails, and the various places you’ll stay on the Ground Squirrel Safari. Everything we do is completely tailor-made so while this is an idea which works well, we’ll always design an itinerary just for you.
Starts: Maun Airport
Private Mobile
Our privately-guided mobile safaris in northern Botswana – amazing guiding and surprisingly good value. If you’re looking for an authentic safari experience in Botswana, our Private Mobile Safaris are an exciting option – and particularly good value for groups of 4-8 people.

"We cannot compliment the quality - especially the food - enough."

The Botswana Private Mobile Safari is run by one of Botswana’s top young and upcoming guides. It offers excellent value for money and works well for couples and larger groups alike. The safari can be tailor-made to take in a number of different areas of northern Botswana and the camp travels with you. We’d never claim this is the most luxurious form of safari but for those looking for a little bit of adventure a mobile is the most authentic way to see the Okavango Delta and the surrounding areas. We love them. See our full report on Botswana Private Mobile Safari

Kanana
Situated in the heart of Botswana's Okavango Delta, adjacent to Moremi Game Reserve, Kanana Camp nestles among towering jackalberry (ebony) trees, knobthorn acacias and sausage trees on the edge of a permanent stretch of channel. Kanana's environment is a mix of forests and open seasonal floodplains, combined with permanent channels and lush flood meadows – and it's this mix which leads to it being able to offer a very full range of activities.

"a fabulous place...recommend spending a night in the Sky Bed"

The environment around Kanana is particularly beautiful, the camp's guides are generally very good and the water activities are excellent. If you visit between around July and October, we'd be surprised if even those with only a passing interest in birds failed to be impressed by the sheer magnitude and variety of birds at the heronry. However, this isn't a camp for a first-rate game safari between around May and November, when water levels are high. See our full report on Kanana

Experiences you can add to this trip.
Optional extra day-trips and excursions possible whilst staying at lodges on this trip. These are usually best arranged in advance so talk to us.
Helicopter Flight - Botswana
Various: from 30 minutes to half a day.
Low-flying, agile and offering superb views, helicopters are an ideal way to move around the Okavango Delta.You can use them instead of fixed-wing inter-lodge transfers or as an addition to other wildlife watching activities, and of course, helicopters can hover to allow that perfect pic, whereas fixed-wings can’t.
