Your stay is on Full Board Plus – Dinner, Bed, Breakfast, Lunch and Activities

In Khwai, your private mobile camp is based in the Khwai Community Concession. Bordering Moremi Game reserve, the concession allows for night drives in addition to day drives spent exploring this somewhat drier habitat.
The appeal of a private safari is that your days are flexible to plan with your private guide in accordance with your preference – following and tracking wildlife movements from the crack of dawn; searching for rare bird species or setting up by a waterhole to wait for the perfect sunset photograph.

A full day in camp usually starts at sunrise around the campfire for that first ‘essential’ cup of tea or coffee and a light breakfast of cereal, toast, fruit and rusks. You then head out as early as is permitted to be the first on the roads to track fresh spoor left from the animal’s overnight activities – you may spot fresh lion tracks walking straight past the camp or evidence of a passing herd of buffalo not far away

Generally on the morning game drive you stop for tea and head back to camp by late morning. In camp you may enjoy a lunch or brunch, depending on the time, and then there is plenty of time for showers and that great safari tradition ‘siesta time’. You meet together for afternoon tea and then head out on the afternoon activity, perhaps seeking a new area or returning to a great morning sighting.

Your stay is Fully Inclusive – Bed, All Meals, Fees and Activities

Your safari comes to an end. After a short charter flight back to Maun you can check in for your flight back home.
