Itinerary

Day 1 Moremi Game Reserve

The Moremi Game Reserve is a National Park in Botswana. It rests on the western side of the Okavango Delta and was named after Chief Moremi of the BaTawana tribe.

Transfer by air from Maun airstrip deep into the Moremi National Park.

On arrival, you will be met at Maun airport and transfer into The Moremi Game Reserve, where you will meet your Zoologist/ Biologist Guide.

Our luxurious mobile-tented camps on exclusive sites, place you in the heart of nature in the greatest comfort. Safety, security and serenity are our core values. The unsurpassed diversity that Botswana has to offer is best experienced on the move. This pristine wilderness is teeming with game and has more wildlife species than anywhere else in Africa!

Once in the Moremi, a slow meander/game drive to familiarise yourselves with the area and then into your first camp in

good time to shower and unpack before sundowners and dinner.

The unsurpassed wildlife diversity that Botswana has to offer is best experienced on the move and a Mobile Expedition provides a more adventurous and authentic alternative to the usual permanent camps. With the flexibility to move the camp into the remotest areas of the Okavango Delta, Central Kalahari and the Chobe, we can accommodate personal tastes and preferences offering a wider variety of experiences and areas than a permanent camp. Our mobile safari expeditions hold true to the ideals of Jack Bousfield’s original operations in East Africa. Traditional and spacious tents appointed with 1920s luxury and style blend bygone comfort with rugged panache. Polished copper water jugs, paraffin lamps, pure white cotton sheets and feather bedding ensure an authentic safari experience – Real adventure in unreal style!

Overnight at Mobile Camp - UA.

Day 2 Moremi Game Reserve

Enjoy breakfast in the first light of day and head out in the safari vehicles for your introduction to some of the animals of the dry floodplain environment. Today, you will be looking for zebra, wildebeest, impala and predators such as wild dog and cheetah. Return to camp for lunch and a siesta.

Head out for sundowners after consuming an embarrassingly large spread of tea and cakes. Park at the edge of a lagoon and watch herds of elephant and a myriad of birds coming down to drink whilst the sun sets and you are given an informal talk on the geological history of the area. Return to camp for a sumptuous dinner.

Day 3 Moremi Game Reserve

After breakfast, take a slow drive to the lagoon’s edge and board a boat to explore the waters of the Delta. The deep open lagoons provide a wonderful contrast in habitat after the dry forest areas and floodplains of your first camp. Putt along the maze of channels, stopping to admire rare birds and the diversity of aquatic life. Spot small crocodiles basking in the sun and hippos jousting for territories with spectacular splashes and clashes of jaws and some serious dental equipment. Learn about the ecology of the waters and look at all the important components of the ecosystem.

Day 4 Moremi Game Reserve

Rise early and after a short walk around the island, hop back into your boat for a meander through the waterways, absorbing the tranquillity of the lagoons and narrow, papyrus-fringed, hippo trails. This will allow you to immerse yourself completely in the incredible spectacles that the Delta has to offer. Search out hippo and bathing elephants to understand the importance of the Okavango to these enormous creatures. Marvel at the majesty of elephants from only a few yards away as they wash and feed on the roots of aquatic plants. Drift back to the vehicles. Picnic and siesta in the arms of a giant shady baobab. Spend the afternoon seeking out hyaena dens and, as the day cools down, watch for hunting cats. Head on to camp for a refreshing shower and delectable dinner.

Day 5 Moremi Game Reserve

After a hearty breakfast, head out for the whole day to explore the wider area around your second camp. Search out the creatures and plants typical of the ecosystem and explore the relationships of species and the systems in which they live. Seek out the elusive predators such as lion, cheetah and leopard and observe and interpret their behaviour. Picnic and siesta under a shady mangosteen.

Spend your afternoon seeking out your favourite species. Leopard spotting, lion tracking, cheetah chasing and dog discovering. If you want to watch lions mating for two hours or prefer to watch bee eaters hawking insects on the wing then so be it. Return to camp for your final delicious dinner - tired, but very happy.
