What's special of this expedition?

This is the finest quality camping safari and it was featured in the November 1995 edition of National Geographic's "Traveler" magazine. It offers guests a great balance between comfortable camping and staying in classic, permanent tented camps with en-suite facilities. Many nights are spent in private concessions far from others in superb game country.

The whole of northern Botswana is explored, sometimes by vehicle and sometimes by air. We have regular departures and the group size is restricted to eight guests. One guide and a hostess stays with the group throughout and the staff handle all chores.
