Is the Botswana Mobile Camping Safari for Me?

Botswana mobile camping safaris offer a gateway to Africa’s wild heart like no other. This is not a journey for the faint of spirit; it’s an invitation to leave behind the unfamiliar and enter an exclusive wilderness. To walk alongside the wild and to sleep under a sky so vast that it humbles you.

A Botswana camping safari isn’t about watching from a distance; it’s about moving through untamed landscapes, setting up camp, and living alongside the raw power of nature. It’s a chance to truly immerse yourself in the bush with expert guides who know these lands like the back of their hand.

The camp is set up by the team ahead of time and offers spacious en-suite tents with solid base camp beds. You’ll enjoy three nights in the Moremi Game Reserve and three nights in the Mababe area by the Khwai River on this fantastic seven-day mobile safari adventure in Botswana.

Your 7-Day Itinerary

Mokoro rides in Botswana. Ask our safari experts about your Botswana safari cost.

Your safari begins with a light aircraft flight from Maun into the Xakanaxa area of the Okavango Delta. Your guide will meet you on arrival and take you to your camp. You will spend three nights here exploring the vast wildlife-rich wetland of the Moremi Game Reserve.

The tents are 4 x 3m Sahara-style tents with a high roof with a 2 x 3m en-suite bathroom, and a 2 x 3m covered area in front of the tent. The tents are fitted with solid base camp beds made up with mattresses, sheets, duvets, and pillows. The tents have en-suite long-drop toilet facilities and a bucket shower at the rear of the tent.

Showers can be ordered as hot, cold or warm, and the water is heated in a bucket on the fire. Each tent has an oil/paraffin lamp on the veranda and in the bathroom, and within the tent itself, an LED rechargeable camp light is supplied along with a side table in the sleeping area and in the bathroom. The ideal setup for mobile camping safaris in Botswana.

Two days to explore the Moremi Game Reserve with game drives. Moremi lies on the eastern extremity of the Okavango Delta. Habitats here range from wide-open floodplains, marshes, lagoons, papyrus-fringed channels, woodland and savannah, therefore offering diverse wildlife and birdlife viewing opportunities. Moremi is amongst the best game reserves in Africa for viewing the endangered African wild dog.

Xakanaxa is home to a resident herd of several hundred buffalo whose range covers the territories of at least four prides of lion, which may often be seen flanking the ever-moving herd. Breeding herds of elephant move between their browsing areas in the mopane forests and the fresh water of the Okavango. Red lechwe are one of the more unusual antelope species and commonly found here.

The fourth day of your mobile safari in Botswana will start with an early morning breakfast. Then, you’ll take a slow drive through Moremi Game Reserve northeast towards the Khwai and Mababe areas. On this moving day, we shall do a mokoro excursion in the calmer backwaters of the Khwai and Mbudi channels. The Manuchira Channel is known as the Khwai River at its easternmost extremity.

This day’s journey follows this watercourse, with the track weaving from the riverside and floodplains into the mopane veld and the woodlands that lead to the Mababe Private Reserve, where camp will be set up on the banks of the Khwai River before it flows out and into the Mababe Depression. You’ll pass the magnificent Dombo Hippo Pools in the morning, stopping to enjoy the scenery and the antics of the resident hippos, and game drive through Khwai until Mababe.

The stay at this exclusive campsite in the Mababe concession gives you the opportunity to explore the area on game drives both during the day and at night. While exploring after dark with spotlights, you’ll experience some of the nocturnal animals that are rarely encountered during the day.

You’ll also have the opportunity to explore the surrounding wilderness on foot (this activity is seasonal, based on rains and grass height; your guide will determine the safety of walking) to enjoy an up-close and personal encounter with Botswana’s flora and fauna.

Night drives and guided walks are not permitted within the national parks and reserves and will be conducted in the Mababe Private Reserve. The Mababe region boasts excellent populations of elephants, while lions, leopards, servals, and African wildcats are common predators of the region.

Every itinerary can be crafted to your needs, from adjusting the length of your stay to including different accommodation and refining the route. Your safari is yours, shaped around your idea of a dream experience.

We just came back from our outstanding 7-day trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe organized by “Discover Africa”.

From the very first moment on when we got in touch with Megan from Discover Africa about 7 month prior to the trip everything was very professional. Megan was very proactive and reactive to all kind of questions and also gave some important information which helped us to select the right camps.

We have been in Okavango Delta and stayed at Camp Okavango. This is a very magic place. If you are coming from a busy city in an industrialized country and suddenly you are put in this significant landscape, is a really outstanding experience. The people in this camp are so friendly and each individual goes far the extra mile to make the stay as extraordinary as it was. The wildlife guides are very experienced and the best part of this camp are the hikes, together with the guides. We have collected so many impressions, which would be far too much for this review.

Just one of “never forget” experiences have been the approach during a hike to a pride of lions which we viewed just like 20 meters away. This is lifetime experience we will never forget. After that we continued to Chobe Game Lodge, which was very different from Okavango, but also very beautiful and outstanding.

Chobe is a very interesting area. We have seen 4 out of the “Big 5” there. Unfortunately no Rhinos, but I think that’s become very rare these days Unfortunatly. Chobe Game Lodge is also an excellent place and the people are doing an outstanding service there. After Chobe we continued to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. We stayed and Victoria Falls Safari Lodge.

Victoria Falls is something very impressing to see. I think once been there, it’s very impressive but we not go there again. Besides the Falls there is noch much around and the area is very expensive and only focuses on tourists. Vic Falls Safari Lodge is nice, but from a Service standpoint not comparable to either Camp Okavango or Chobe Game Lodge.

Overall, from an organizational standpoint, Discover Africa organized a great trip and everything worked out very well. We never had a situation where we felt uncomfortable or did not now how to go ahead. I would express my sincere appreciation to Megan and the whole team at Discover Africa who made this trip possible for us. For sure in future we will again go with Discover Africa.

"Many thanks to Discover Africa for organising a great trip to Victoria Falls and Botswana. Chrizaan was extremely helpful in planning the trip (including promptly arranging visa related paperwork etc) and answering queries. The quality of the accommodations was great..."
