Falling in love with Botswana
Botswana, a world to explore.
THE OKAVANGO DELTA in Botswana
In the remote world of floodplains and reeded islands at &Beyond’s Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp and Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge, wildlife encounters are fantastic. With breeding herds of elephant splashing gently through shallow channels, and the long necks of a journey of giraffe parade slowly across the Delta skyline and graceful sitatunga hide in the reeds. Beautiful reed frogs cling to the water grasses, red lechwe scamper through the shallows and magnificent kudu toss their majestic horns. At night, the moon reflects off the backs of a family of hippo emerging from the water to graze, turning them into slabs of shining silver.
ADVENTURE in Botswana
Authentic Africa at its best, an &Beyond Under Canvas safari in Chobe, Moremi or Savute thrills with the delight of experiencing the sounds of the Botswana night from behind a thin wall of canvas. Mobile tented camps which move through private campsites in the heart of Botswana’s best known wilderness reserves, this is the bush life stripped down to the very basics. Guests are woken by birdsong and fall asleep with the shadows of the campfire lighting up their tent walls. The distant roaring of a lion at night vibrates through their very soul, while the days are spent tracking wildlife through magnificent African landscapes. Experience the unequivocal romance of African nights under canvas on an unforgettable nine-day journey through Chobe, Savute and Moremi.
FAMILY in Botswana
A fantasy playground for young and old, Botswana in Southern Africa will enthral the entire family with an endless range of things to do, each more thrilling than the other. Fishing and frogging expeditions explore the clear Delta channels, there’s the tantalising challenge of learning how to steer the traditional dugout mokoro with just a long wooden pole and nature walks on the reeded islands discover birds and animal tracks. Quad bike adventures in the Makgadikgadi Pans and authentic encounters with the Bushmen of the Kalahari will keep teenagers entertained, while nobody can resist the attentions of the area’s famous and friendly meerkats. Guests have the unique opportunity to mingle with the meerkats on an incredible journey through the jewels of Botswana, from the lush Okavango Delta to the vast Makgadikgadi Pans.
ROMANCE
Remote and secluded enough for a sense of splendid isolation, the Okavango Delta in Botswana is an ideal destination for guests who want to lose their heart again. At &Beyond’s Xaranna Okavango Delta Camp and Xudum Okavango Delta Lodge morning adventures begin later, leaving plenty of time to wake up slowly and watch the day dawn over a steaming cup of coffee. Gentle mokoro rides, champagne cocktails and private picnics on a deserted Delta island are the stuff romantic dreams are made of. Waterside salas, lofty rooftop lookouts and an enormous day bed invite to afternoons of quiet intimacy. At night, blazing bonfires in sheltered bomas under the brightest of stars create unforgettable memories.
• Guests can walk alongside giants among the great herds of elephant and towering baobab trees in the Tuli Block
• What better way to view the winding waterways of the Okavango Delta than from the luxurious vantage point of a helicopter?
• Guests explore the immense Makgadikgadi Pans on an adventurous horseback safari
