Botswana Couple Safari (8n) – Classic

On Day 1 of your trip, you’ll touch down at Maun Airport and fly out to Selinda Airstrip. From here, you’ll have a shared road transfer to Selinda Explorers Camp, which has a fabulously remote location within the Selinda Reserve. Positioned in the shade of trees, the camp’s two communal tents have amazing views of open plains and the Selinda Spillway. As there are just four Meru-style guest tents, this property has a very exclusive feel. The décor brings to mind the explorers era, and the camp’s broad range of activities guarantees that you will get to know the Linyanti really well during your time here. Day and night game drives, walking, canoeing… when it comes to classic safari, Explorers is one of the best! Common sightings include lion, wild dog, numerous antelope species, and immense herds of elephant and buffalo.

Board basis and activities:
All-inclusive accommodation, featuring all meals, a selection of alcoholic and soft drinks, all scheduled wildlife activities, transfers between the camp and Selinda Airstrip, and a laundry service.

On the fourth day, you’ll travel from Selinda Explorers Camp to Selinda Airstrip by shared road transfer. Here you’ll board a flight to Khwai Airstrip, transferring via another shared transfer to Machaba Camp. This property overlooks the Khwai river and is close to the Moremi Game Reserve. Guests have spectacular views of wildlife coming to the river to drink! The style of the camp is inspired by the 1950s, featuring chunky hardwood furniture and sumptuous Persian rugs. There are ten tents, all very comfortable and benefiting from a private veranda. Activities focus on morning and evening game drives, but you can also enjoy walking safaris and mokoro excursions. As the camp has access to both the Khwai reserve and Moremi, guests can expect to see a real wealth of wildlife, not least four of the Big Five, numerous smaller mammals, and ample birdlife! Community visits are also possible here.

The last part of your safari is spent at Shinde Camp, in the northern region of the Delta.

Occupying its own palm island, Shinde includes a multi-tiered lounge and dining room with breathtaking vistas out on to Shinde Lagoon. All eight guest tents are very luxurious and spacious, each featuring a stylish bedroom with seating area, a smart en-suite shower room, and a private deck with fantastic views! Shinde provides both water- and land-based activities all year round – day and night game drives, guided walks, fishing, motorboat trips, and mokoro excursions. The lagoon attracts an exciting variety of big game and smaller species, and the birding is brilliant too!
