Mobile Safari Summary

This is a slightly shorter and more affordable version of the Botswana Classic

This safari follows a Maun-to-Kasane route through northern Botswana's main wildlife areas. Starting from Maun, the journey moves through Moremi Game Reserve, known for its predator concentrations and permanent water channels fed by the Okavango Delta.

The route continues to Khwai Community Concession before reaching Savute, where the seasonal channel has resumed flowing. The trip concludes at Chobe River Front. This routing covers Botswana's core safari destinations in the north, with each area offering distinct wildlife viewing shaped by different water sources and habitats. The reverse itinerary covering the same route is available.

The Accommodation

Walk in Meru Style ensuite tents
Beds with a proper mattress with all linen (not sleeping bags) as well as a towel and a hot water bottle in winter
En-suite bathroom with bush loo and bucket shower
Ecofriendly bathroom amenities (soap, shampoo, body lotion and insect repellent)

This mobile safaris include quality linen and towels for your comfort. Each bed is made up with proper linen, pillows, duvets, and extra blankets. During the winter months, when night time temperatures can drop, we also provide hot water bottles for added warmth.

For game drives, we supply blanket-lined ponchos — perfect for staying cozy on chilly mornings and keeping dry during summer rains.

What happens on a normal safari day?

  • The day starts early because that’s when the animals are out. You’ll have coffee and a bite to eat around the fire before dawn, then head straight out for a game drive, walk, or boat trip depending on where you’re staying.
  • After a few hours tracking wildlife, your guide will pull over somewhere scenic for tea and biscuits. You’ll be back at camp by mid-morning with time to wash up at your basin before brunch—usually fresh bread, something warm from the kitchen, and cold salads.
  • The middle of the day is yours to sleep, read, take a proper shower, or just sit and absorb what you saw that morning. Late afternoon you’ll head out again for another drive or boat outing. In private areas outside the national parks, these can run past sunset with a spotlight to pick up leopards, genets, and other nocturnal animals that don’t show themselves during the day.
  • That’s the general rhythm, though your guide will adjust things based on what’s actually happening—where the elephants are moving, if there’s been a recent kill, weather changes, that sort of thing. No two days run exactly the same.

What happens when you move to another location?

  • Moving days start earlier than usual. You’ll pack up after a quick coffee, then drive to a scenic spot for a proper breakfast—maybe overlooking a floodplain or dried riverbed. From there, it’s game viewing while traveling toward your next camp, with stops for tea and biscuits along the way.
  • Lunch happens under whatever big trees your guide finds, usually acacia or sausage trees with decent shade. By that point you’re close enough to the new camp that the crew has already driven ahead and set everything up. You’ll arrive to find your tent standing exactly as it was that morning, just in a completely different landscape.
  • There’s time for a shower and afternoon tea before heading out to explore the new area—different waterholes, different vegetation, often completely different animals than what you were seeing the day before.
  • The timing on these travel days shifts around depending on distance, road conditions, and what wildlife shows up along the route. If there’s a pride of lions on a kill or a big elephant herd blocking the track, you might spend an extra hour there and compress something else. Your guide will read the situation and adjust accordingly. The drive times given are just the actual driving—they don’t account for the inevitable stops when something interesting crosses your path.

Daily Itinerary

Arrival

Arrive into Maun Airport. You'll be greeted by your charter aircraft company and escorted to your flight into Moremi Game Reserve

Day 1 - 2

Upon arrival at Maun Airport – kindly make your way to the Mack Air check-in counter inside the terminal. The friendly Mack Air staff will check you in and you will be taken to your light aircraft for your flight into Moremi. This flight gives you a fish eagle’s eye view of this amazing ecosystem called the Okavango Delta. Upon landing at the airstrip, your guide will be waiting to transfer you to your mobile camp with a game drive en-route with a stop for light snacks in the bush or to be enjoyed back in camp.

The friendly, attentive staff will help you feel immediately at home and brief you on what to look forward to on your safari. The magic of a mobile camp becomes apparent as the sun sets and you enjoy drinks around the fire before a starlit dinner and a great night’s rest after falling asleep to the sounds of the African bush.

Moremi Game Reserve

Day 3 - 4

Following an early breakfast, we pack up the camp and continue our journey to Khwai, stopping for a bush picnic lunch en route. The Khwai River forms the boundary between the reserve and the local Khwai Community Area. We spend the next three nights camping at a campsite in the Khwai area of Moremi Game Reserve. You will also experience a 2½-hour mokoro trip, discovering channels and lagoons at a relaxed pace in a traditional dug-out canoe.

Khwai

Day 5 - 6

We head further north en route to Chobe National Park, were we spend the following three nights camping at a pristine bush campsite in the Savute region and exploring the dry landscape on game drives. Savute is an area that can change dramatically, with the character of the place changing completely depending on the flowing or drying up of the Savute Channel. In 2010, water from the Savute Channel reached the Marsh for the first time in three decades (after a long dry period during which resident lions learned to prey on elephants coming to drink at isolated waterholes). The presence of water can transform these dynamics and the only way to find out what will happen next, is to visit Savute with us and see for yourself!

Savuti

Day 7 - 8

Leaving this parched landscape, we continue our journey north to the contrasting Chobe region of the park. We spend the last two nights camping in a wilderness campsite near the Chobe River, exploring the riverbanks and surrounding flood plains on game drives. On Day 9 you will enjoy an afternoon boat cruise on the Chobe River which departs from Kasane.
