Your 7-Day Itinerary

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.

Each lodge has been chosen for its sense of place, privacy, and quiet luxury –
where service is seamless and the views are unforgettable.

Meno a Kwena Tented Camp

Meno a Kwena Tented Camp

Meno is situated in a fantastic spot on the Boteti River, looking out over the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, which is radically different from the lush and fruitful Okavango Delta regions in terms of geography, animals, and environment. For a large portion of the year, the zebra migratory stays in this area. Since there is no other water nearby during the dry season, animals are drawn to the Boteti River.The camp offers outstanding value for the money and is a perfect option for families because it has a natural swimming pool, lots of hiding places for youngsters to explore, and a river below where they can watch the activity.

Sable Alley

Sable Alley

Sable Alley in Botswana sits on the banks of a lily-covered lagoon in the heart of the Khwai Private Reserve, where elephant herds drift past at dusk, lions call through the darkness, and the wild genuinely feels close. This is one of Botswana’s most loved luxury safari camps, and once you’ve watched the Delta wake up from your own private deck, it’s easy to understand why.

Part of the Natural Selection collection, each of Sable Alley’s 12 canvas-sided suites has its own private plunge pool with views deep into the floodplains. Inside, it’s warm and quiet. Layered textiles, a mini bar, a coffee station, and a palette that mirrors the calm of the landscape around you.

As Khwai Private Reserve accommodation goes, it doesn’t get more immersive than this. The Khwai River draws remarkable concentrations of wildlife to its banks year-round. Leopards, wild dogs, sable antelope, and vast elephant herds share this ancient terrain. Morning and evening game drives peel back the layers of this wilderness, while walking safaris in Khwai put you properly into it, tracking spoor at ground level and reading the land the way it was always meant to be read.

Sable Alley is the right choice for couples, wildlife enthusiasts, and anyone ready to experience Botswana’s wild heart, unhurried, unfiltered and completely alive.

Duke’s Camp

Duke’s Camp

Duke’s Camp is located in the magical wilderness of the northern Okavango Delta.

This landmark new camp is named in honour of Sarefo ‘Duke’ Sarefo, the custodian of this bountiful piece of wilderness. Duke was born 80 years ago on the very island that the camp now occupies, and his ancestral roots run deep into these sandy soils.

Pitched on raised wooden decks beneath a canopy of ebony and leadwood trees, the luxurious safari tents offer an unforgettable under-canvas adventure in the midst of this remarkable World Heritage Site.

Duke’s Camp is a striking new safari destination set on a vast concession rich in game and natural beauty, and it lies waiting to be discovered.
