Having done a safari in lodges in Kenya 20+years ago, we wanted to experience the adventure of a safari under canvas, getting up close to the wildlife of Botswana. Oh boy! We were not disappointed. This was the most thrilling holiday we’ve ever been on; absolutely sensational. Our leader, Brian, and his team were brilliant, making sure everything ran smoothly and we got the most out of each day. Wild camping is an experience like no other. It’s very down-to-earth, can be very hot and dusty, but is a lot more comfortable than you might think. Our party were all 50+years old but adapted to the camping easily. There are lots of early starts, but who cares when you see so much wonderful wildlife. This is an adventure not to be missed.
Kalahari Desert
Kalahari Desert Trips
The Kalahari is a vast sand basin that stretches some 360,000mi (930,000sqkm) across Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, taking in the Okavango Delta and other wetlands. Despite the arid landscape, there’s an abundance of wildlife, including meerkats, Kalahari lions, gemsbok, Cape cobras and other animals. The San people, nomadic hunter-gatherers who are said to be the oldest residents of southern Africa, also live here.
Join one of our small-group adventures to Botswana and Namibia that include Kalahari desert tours. Camp on the Makgadikgadi salt pans in the drier season, and marvel at the spectacular sunsets over the sweltering African savannah. The unruly desert landscape will stay with you long after you leave.
