  • 25 May – 02 June 2027

Botswana Under Canvas launches you straight into the wild heartbeat of the Okavango Delta, beginning with a spectacular scenic flight over its shimmering waterways and floodplains. Touch down in Moremi Game Reserve and settle into your private mobile camp, where warm hospitality, crackling fires and starlit dinners set the tone for an unforgettable adventure. Over four exhilarating days you’ll explore the iconic Xakanaxa, Third Bridge and Khwai regions—tracking lions, elephants, leopards and painted wolves across some of Africa’s richest wildlife country. Drift quietly through lily‑lined channels on a mokoro, savour bush picnics in remote wilderness, and fall asleep each night to the soundtrack of the African bush. This is safari living at its most authentic, intimate and thrilling.

Your journey then pushes deeper into Botswana’s wild north, where the dramatic Savute region delivers raw, unpredictable game viewing shaped by the ever‑changing Savute Channel. After two nights in this legendary landscape, you’ll continue to the Chobe Riverfront for a spectacular finale—vast herds of elephants, glowing sunsets over the river, and an unforgettable Chobe River cruise that brings you eye‑to‑eye with hippos, buffalo and swimming elephants. By the time you roll into Kasane, you’ll be carrying a camera full of magic and the unmistakable feeling that Botswana Under Canvas has given you Africa at its most breathtaking. This is the safari people dream about—now it’s your turn to live it.

What to Expect

Across nine extraordinary days, Botswana Under Canvas delivers a classic African safari in its purest, most exhilarating form. Guests can expect a seamless blend of adventure, comfort and authenticity as they move through four of Botswana’s most iconic wilderness regions. From the moment they board their scenic flight into the Okavango Delta, the tone is set: vast horizons, abundant wildlife and the thrill of exploring landscapes that feel untouched by time. Each mobile camp is beautifully set up ahead of arrival, offering warm hospitality, hot bucket showers, delicious meals and starlit evenings around the fire — the kind of atmosphere that makes people fall in love with safari life.

Days are spent exploring Moremi, Khwai, Savute and Chobe on expertly guided game drives, where elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes and painted wolves roam freely across floodplains, woodlands and open savannah. Guests can expect close‑up wildlife encounters, dramatic sightings and the kind of photographic opportunities that make Botswana world‑famous. A mokoro excursion in Khwai adds a peaceful, traditional touch — gliding through lily‑lined channels with birds overhead and the gentle sounds of the Delta all around. As the journey continues north, the landscapes shift from wetlands to dry, rugged Savute, then finally to the elephant‑rich Chobe Riverfront, where an afternoon boat cruise offers a spectacular finale.

What truly sets this safari apart is the rhythm of mobile camping — waking to the calls of the bush, exploring all day, then returning to a private camp that feels like home. Guests can expect exceptional guiding, genuine connection with the safari team, and a deep immersion in nature that lodge‑based travel simply can’t replicate. By the time they reach Kasane on the final morning, they’ll be carrying not just incredible photographs, but a profound sense of having experienced Botswana the way few travellers ever do: under canvas, under the stars, and completely in tune with the wild.

Botswana Under Canvas Itinerary

25 & 26 May 2027 -Moremi Game Reserve / Okavango Delta

Dumela / Hello! Welcome to Botswana!”

Upon arrival at Maun Airport – kindly make your way to the Mack Air check-in counter inside the terminal. The friendly Mack Air staff will check you in for your flight into Moremi. This flight gives you a fish eagle’s eye view of this amazing ecosystem called the Okavango Delta. Upon landing at the airstrip, your guide will be waiting to transfer you to your mobile camp where you will enjoy afternoon tea in camp. The friendly, attentive staff will help you feel immediately at home and brief you on what to look forward to on your safari. The magic of a mobile camp becomes apparent as the sun sets and you enjoy drinks around the fire before a starlit dinner and a great night’s rest after falling asleep to the sounds of the African bush.

Spending our first two nights camping in the Xakanaxa / Third Bridge area, we explore the surrounding wilderness on game drives during the day. The Moremi Game Reserve protects around a third of the entire Okavango Delta ecosystem – some 5,000km2 (1,930 square miles).

27 & 28 May 2027 -Khwai, Moremi Game Reserve

Following an early breakfast, your safari team breaks camp and you’ll set off toward Khwai, enjoying a scenic journey with a bush picnic lunch en route. The Khwai River marks the boundary between the Moremi Game Reserve and the Khwai Community Concession, a wildlife-rich area known for its diverse ecosystems. We’ll spend the next two nights camping in the Khwai area, with daily game drives to explore the stunning Khwai floodplains. A highlight of your stay will be a 2½-hour mokoro excursion, offering a peaceful and immersive way to discover the region’s channels and lagoons in a traditional dug-out canoe.

29 & 30 May 2027 - Savute within the Chobe National Park

We head further north en-route to Chobe National Park, were we spend the following two nights camping at a pristine bush campsite in the Savute region and exploring the dry landscape on game drives. Savute is an area that can change dramatically, with the character of the place changing completely depending on the flowing or drying up of the Savute Channel. In 2010, water from the Savute Channel reached the Marsh for the first time in three decades (after a long dry period during which resident lions learned to prey on elephants coming to drink at isolated waterholes). The presence of water can transform these dynamics and the only way to find out what will happen next, is to visit Savute with us and see for yourself!

31 May & 01 June 2027 -Chobe River Front within the Chobe National Park

Leaving this parched landscape, we continue our journey north to the contrasting Chobe region of the park. We spend the last two nights camping in a wilderness campsite near the Chobe River, exploring the riverbanks and surrounding flood plains on game drives. On Day 8 you will enjoy an afternoon boat cruise on the Chobe River which departs from Kasane.

02 June 2027 -Kasane

Following breakfast and a short game drive, your safari will end in Kasane at around 10h00.
