The WT Difference in Botswana
Explore Africa the way few travelers ever do with private mobile camps and boutique lodges that get you close to the wildlife and away from the crowds.
Expert naturalist guides lead your entire safari (no handing you off from lodge to lodge); and in camp a staff-to-guest ratio of 1:1. The camaraderie and fun on these trips is legendary!
Epic game viewing and great variety: 4WD vehicle, bush walks, private riverboat, canoe, and scenic charter flights.
Custom-built 4WD safari vehicles with guaranteed window seats and roof hatches with 360-degree views.
Experience Botswana’s phenomenal landscapes: the Okavango Delta, a World Heritage Site, exquisite Moremi Game Reserve, and Chobe National Park, with its massive herds of elephant.
We offer a safari for every season, from our classic 11-day journey that includes Victoria Falls to our 14-day in-depth adventures in the Okavango Delta or the Kalahari Desert.
Overview
You’ll experience Botswana as few other safari-goers do in our private mobile camps that get you close to the wildlife—and away from the crowds. Our classic and seasonal itineraries bring a true immersion in the untamed beauty of Africa. At our Hemingway-style camps, the staff-to-guest ratio is 1:1 and the comforts are many. We explore deep into the wildlife-rich Moremi Game Reserve, Okavango Delta, and Chobe National Park, with game drives in custom 4WD vehicles, and a private riverboat cruise. By night, you’ll sleep in a comfy bed in your tent with private bathroom and shower, drifting off to sleep to the sounds of the African night. Real mobile camping is a rare safari experience—it’s pure magic!
We loved the trip! The design and flow of the itinerary was perfect. We spent just enough time in each area before it was time to move on. The staff was outstanding and made us feel welcome at all times.

Itinerary at a Glance
Days 1-3
Maun, Botswana / Moremi Game Reserve / Private Mobile Camp
Our private charter flight whisks us right to the stunning Moremi Game Reserve (avoiding an all-day drive). Here in the eastern Okavango Delta, we track predators including wild dog and cheetah and search for game such as tsessebe and Burchell’s zebra. Our camp gives us direct access to pristine sections of the reserve. It’s ours alone—but don’t be surprised if a grazing elephant passes through!

Days 1 to 3 (3 nights), Moremi Game Reserve: Xakanaxa, Days 6 to 7 (2 nights), Chobe National Park: Savuti Channel, Days 8 to 9 (2 nights), Chobe National Park: Serondella
Days 4-5
Okavango Delta / Xugana Lodge or Camp Okavango
A river journey with great game viewing brings us to a boutique lodge with reed-and-thatch chalets. It’s the perfect spot for exploring the Okavango on foot, by motorboat, and by mokoro (dugout canoe navigated by a skilled poler). We should see bushbuck, a rainbow of birdlife, the shy sitatunga and semi-aquatic lechwe antelope, and perhaps even buffalo and elephant. We’ll appreciate the calm solitude of this quintessential Delta setting.
Days 6-9
Chobe National Park / Private Mobile Camps
Leaving the Okavango ecosystem, we get a bird’s-eye view of the Delta as we fly by private charter to southern Chobe National Park, a legendary elephant refuge and one of the best places to find lion, leopard, and large herds of giraffe, kudu, and baboon. At night, Chobe comes to life with the whooping calls of wild dog and the rumbles of elephant. From our mobile camp in the Serondella area, with its photogenic baobab trees, we’ll take a private cruise on the Chobe River to see big herds of tuskers ambling down to the river at sunset.
