Botswana has more wildlife species than anywhere else on the continent and the animal sightings are fast, furious and fantastic. And where better to witness the action than the iconic Okavango Delta?
In this itinerary, we’ve added a bit of a twist too; there are no lodges. Instead, you’ll come with us on a mobile safari expedition, sleeping under the stars in our wonderfully-wild and super-stylish mobile camp, immersing yourself into the heart of Botswana.

3 Hours Before Flight Time
The days will be filled with activities designed to take you as close as possible to the wildlife.
You’ll boat up to herds of elephants, 500 strong, and explore remote islands on foot; zoom across floodplains in a custom 4×4 in search of game, and spend afternoons watching the birds flit across china-blue skies. If a mobile expedition in the most stylish of camps, with a dose of incredible game-viewing in a truly wild environment, sounds like it might be your thing, you won’t get much better than this.
Guests fly from Maun where you will be met by your guide and arrive at the Delta Airstrip. Drive to camp while enjoying the sights and familiarizing yourself with the area. Arrive
and settle in. Enjoy a delicious afternoon tea and relax before setting off for an evening game drive and sundowners. Return to camp for dinner under the stars.
After breakfast, it’s off to the lagoon’s edge for a boat safari in the waters of the Okavango. You’ll putt along the maze of lily-lined channels, picnic under the trees, and swim in the glassy lagoons. Camp tonight is on a private-lantern lit island, where it’s just you, your mosquito net, and a million stars overhead.
Drift over one of Africa’s great wilderness destinations on a serene hot air balloon flight. This age-old adventure explores the Okavango Delta in a completely unique way, offering 360-degree, panoramic views of the unique landscape from tree-top level right up to a thousand feet in the air.
Lace-up your walking boots and head out on a walking safari around the island – a highlight has to be watching the elephant splashing in the shallows. Then, it’s back to the boat for the last drift through the papyrus before you head back to the mobile camp for your last night.
Optional – Helicopter Day Trip to Tsodillo Hills
Take a trip to Tsodillo Hills and discover the ancient rock art hidden in the extraordinary landscape. Flights are usually done in the morning, and the trip takes approximately 5.5 hours in total from the Delta.
You depart to Maun on a Cessna flight to catch your flight home.
