Discover the wonders of Botswana’s Okavango Delta

Discover the wonders of Botswana’s Okavango Delta and the incredible salt pans of the Kalahari on this luxury 10-night safari. These two contrasting environments offer an astounding variety of landscapes to explore including floodplains, emerald forests, winding waterways, endless salt pans and stunning desert landscapes. Guests can expect highly skilled guides, personalised service, and sensational cuisine while staying at some of Botswana’s most splendid camps.

This exciting itinerary combines 3 sensational camps – Duke’s Camp on the northern fringes of the Okavango Delta, Tuludi Camp in the 494,000-acre Khwai Private Reserve, and iconic Jack’s Camp, one of the most unique camps in Africa.

Located in a remote, game-rich concession set on a channel in the northern Okavango, Duke’s is named in honour of Sarefo ‘Duke’ Sarefo, the custodian of this breathtaking wilderness area. Guests can immerse themselves in classic Okavango experiences – including mokoro (dugout canoe) and boat excursions as well as game drives.

Further south in the Kalahari, guests can enjoy a wealth of fascinating activities at Jack’s Camp, such as quad biking across the salt pans, walking with the local Zu/’hoasi Bushmen and getting up close to a “mob” of habituated meerkats. With everything included except for international flights, you can relax and make the most of the beautiful setting, create memories to last a lifetime.

11 days/10 nights


Days 1-3

Duke’s Camp

On arrival in Maun, Botswana you will be transferred by light aircraft to Duke’s Camp, situated in a remote wilderness on the northern fringes of the Okavango Delta. An intimate camp with just 8 tented rooms, Duke’s Camp is named in honour of Sarefo ‘Duke’ Sarefo, the custodian of this part of the Okavango Delta. The tents are set on raised wooden decks under a canopy of ebony and leadwood trees. Over the next three nights, guests will enjoy activities including game drives, mokoro and boat excursions (water level dependant). For an additional cost, and an experience to remember, guests can enjoy a helicopter flight (30 minutes) to The Tsodilo Hills, a fascinating World Heritage Site that has been home to the Bushmen for thousands of years. It is a treasure trove of ancient rock art, with over 4,500 individual paintings dating back to 800AD. D (day 1) B L D (days 2 & 3)

Jack’s Camp

Today transfer to romantic Jack’s Camp, located in a private concession adjacent to the otherworldly landscapes of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. The central mess tent and evocative guest tents pay homage to its past, adorned in vintage 1940’s style campaign furniture. The salt pans stretch for miles on end and the dramatic landscape is home to fascinating desert species including brown hyena, porcupine and aardwolf. There are two distinct seasons – dry and green – so some activities here are only available at certain times. During the green season (Dec-April) rains transform the landscape into beautiful grassland. Activities at Jack’s Camp include game drives, walking with the Bushmen, quad biking (seasonal) and a visit to see the habituated meerkats. B L D
