This fully serviced mobile camping safari takes you through two of Botswana’s most iconic wildlife areas — Moremi Game Reserve and the Khwai Concession — offering an authentic yet comfortable bush experience. Operating on scheduled departure dates (minimum 2, maximum 12 guests), the safari combines the expertise of a professional guide with the support of a dedicated camp crew, ensuring seamless logistics, delicious meals, and spacious ensuite Meru-style tents with private bucket showers and bush loos.
The journey begins with a scenic light aircraft flight from Maun into Moremi, where you spend two nights exploring the Xakanaxa / Third Bridge region. Game drives reveal the rich wildlife and varied landscapes of this world-renowned reserve within the Okavango Delta. From there, you continue to the Khwai Concession for three nights, where activities include day and night game drives as well as a traditional mokoro excursion along the Khwai waterways. With predators, elephants, and abundant plains game, this area is a highlight for wildlife enthusiasts.

The safari ends with a relaxed drive back to Maun, enjoying one last picnic en route, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Botswana’s wilderness.

Day 1-2 :

MOREMI GAME RESERVE

We will be there to give you a warm Botswana welcome when you land at Maun Airport. You will then meet your pilot for a stunning light aircraft transfer over the Okavango Delta and Chief’s Island. This flight gives you a fish eagle’s eye view of this amazing ecosystem. When you land at your remote bush airstrip within the Moremi Game Reserve, your guide will be waiting to transfer you to your mobile camp with a game drive en route. After meeting the camp team and settling in, the magic of a mobile camp becomes apparent as you find yourself in the wilderness with the sunset and drinks around the fire before a starlit dinner and a great night’s rest after falling asleep to the sounds of the African bush. Spending your first two nights camping in the Xakanaxa / Third Bridge area, you explore the surrounding wilderness on game drives during the day. The Moremi Game Reserve protects around a third of the entire Okavango Delta ecosystem – some 5 000km2 (1 930 square miles).

KHWAI CONCESSION OKAVANGO DELTA

Following an early breakfast you continue your journey to Khwai, stopping for a picnic lunch en-route. The Khwai River forms a boundary between the reserve and the community area. You spend the next three nights camping at a campsite in the community area, exploring the Khwai floodplains on game drives both during the day and at night. Here, you will also enjoy a 2 ½ hour Mekoro Trip exploring the water ways of Khwai which is the most eastern reach of the Okavango river system. Exploring after dark with spotlights offers you a unique opportunity to experience some of the nocturnal animals that are rarely encountered during the day. It is important to note that night drives are not permitted within the national parks and reserves.
