Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, Chobe National Park

The diverse ecosystems of Botswana are astounding, with such magnificent habitats as Chobe National Park and the 800-mile-wide wildlife paradise of the Okavango Delta. We explore Botswana’s untouristed and immense gamelands on an in-depth mobile safari, savoring the magic of the African wilds without sacrificing any comforts. Our safari camps offer walk-in tents with beds and attached private shower and toilet as well as superb meals and laundry service. We track game mainly by 4WD but also—a Botswana specialty—by mokoro (dugout canoe), all in a breathtaking mix of the country’s most beautiful habitats, from salt pans to savannas.

Botswana San Tribes Safari
Aug 18–Sep 3, 2007
Kalahari Desert, Moremi Game Reserve, Okavango Delta

This unique expedition brings us deep into the fabled Kalahari to meet the San people, the skilled hunter-gatherers whose African heritage dates back 30,000 years. To sit around the fire in the evening and listen to their songs, and perhaps witness a trance dance, is to travel back in time to the dawn of humankind. In our days with the San, we stay in full-service tented camps and are joined by our Guest Speaker Mike Main, an authority on the tribes and rock art of Botswana. In addition to our cultural interactions, we enjoy a classic gameviewing safari on the jewel-green waterways of the Okavango Delta in Moremi Game Reserve, with its high game densities, and in ethereal Xugana Lagoon, the quintessential Delta setting.

The most glorious and diverse landscapes on the African continent are found in South Africa. We discover the beauty of “the fairest Cape,” sample the wares at an elegant wine estate in Stellenbosch, stretch our legs on the dramatic Tsitsikamma and Otter Trails above a turquoise ocean, then hike the mountain paths of the rugged Drakensbergs. We end with a flourish, enjoying a phenomenal four-day game safari in renowned Sabi Sands Private Reserve. Sabi Sands’ unfenced boundary with adjoining Kruger National Park brings it the highest wildlife diversity in all Africa.

Zambia is an untouched African wilderness, remote and wild, its amazing diversity of wildlife shy and unused to humans. An African
environment as untamed as it was 50 years ago, Zambia is known as “Insiders’ Africa,” the place for breathtaking leopard sightings, walking safaris in magical riparian forests, and low-key wilderness lodges where guests are welcomed as family. The heart of our Zambia journey is an
exciting and authentic four-day walking safari based out of light tented camps as we track animals with an experienced ranger-guide in the majesty of South Luangwa National Park—3,500 square miles of unspoiled Africa.

One of the best ways to escape the vehicle view of the bush is to seek adventure by canoe and on foot! On the mighty Zambezi, we set off for a three-day safari by canoe down the main branch of this great river and into exquisite narrow channels for close looks at snorting hippos, sunning crocs, and big tuskers wading at water’s edge. We also enjoy terrific game walks in three incredible national parks that showcase all the magic of Africa: Matusadona, Mana Pools, and Hwange.

The surreal deserts of Namibia are a feast for the senses—undulating red-orange dunes stretching as far as the eye can see, shimmering salt pans where elephants dig for water, strange-looking kokerboom trees rising from rocky washes, rare gemsbok antelopes roaming the dunes. There’s no other place like wild Namibia, and we use charter flights to travel the longer distances between our wilderness lodges and spectacularly located tented camps.
