Combine exploration of the less-visited Central Kalahari Game Reserve with time in the lush Okavango Delta on this exclusive camping holiday. We recommend travelling on this safari between March and the end of May, when the Central Kalahari becomes one of the prime game-viewing areas in Botswana.
Guide
The Exclusive Kalahari & Okavango Safari is led by Grant Truthe, who was born and bred in Botswana, hast vast knowledge of the area, speaks the local language fluently and has been guiding for almost 20 years. Having two young children of his own, he's a particularly guide for families.
Kalahari & Santantadibe Mobile Camps
Whilst in your exclusive mobile safari camps, you'll stay in spacious walk-in 3 x 3 metre dome tents, with comfortable stretcher-beds, bedrolls, bed linen and duvets. Each tent will also be furnished with a small side table and reading lamp. Private canvas hand basins are set up outside each tent.
There is a separate enclosure with a bucket shower that is filled with water at your chosen temperature when needed, and a second enclosure with a short-drop covered with a proper toilet seat.
A large marquee tent with sides that can be rolled up provides shade and sheltered dining in the unlikely event of rain. Two camp assistants take on all the camp chores, allowing you the undivided attention of the guide as you explore the area. The camp chef prepares tasty, fresh, three-course meals over the fire; dinners are served at a candle-lit table set with linen, crockery and glasses, with a choice of red or white wines.
Family facilities
A larger tent can be made available for families on safari with young children. This tent has two sleeping compartments with a simple en-suite toilet.
Car seats in the safari vehicle can be arranged for young children. Grant can also arrange for one of the camp assistants to act as 'nanny' on occasions such as adult meal times. There is no extra cost for this service but we recommend you give your thanks by way of a tip. Please note that s/he will not be a qualified nanny so parents must remain close by during these occasions.
Activities
Activity timings are all flexible depending on the interests and priorities of your group. If something exciting crops up you can stay with it for as long as you need. Activities might include walking safaris, fishing and bird watching trips, canoeing excursions (depending on water levels), and 4WD safaris including spotlit night drives depending on the area.
Vehicles
The vehicles used on these safaris are custom-made open 4WD's created for optimal game viewing. Each is spacious and comfortable with space for up to maximum of 10 passengers.
Camp team
The team is made up of a safari chef and camp assistants who are there to set up and break down camp and to carry out daily camp chores, helping to make your safari as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
