Botswana Culture & Wildlife Safari

An 11 Day Exploration of Botswana's Ancient Cultures & Abundant Wildlife

Botswana is one of Africa’s most remarkable destinations for wildlife, conservation, and culture. It has the highest concentration of elephants left in Africa, the largest African wild dog population and one of only nine viable lion populations on the continent. Botswana is also home to one of the oldest cultures on earth - the San Bushmen.

Join Kiki Keating of KikiNetworks, Steve Stockhall of Earth Ark Travel, and GrassTrack Safaris for a cultural and wildlife safari to Botswana.  On this unique safari, you'll visit a remote San Bushmen village and spend two nights interacting with the villagers, learning about their customs, daily lives, and the challenges of living in the harsh Kalahari Desert. You'll join them around their evening campfires and learn about the local environment on a bush walk. The Khoisan speaking people are the oldest link with our past. Thankfully, and partly due to people like yourselves visiting the region, there is an incentive for the people to maintain their language and culture in a dignified manner.

You'll also witness Botswana's stunning wildlife in some of Africa's best game parks.  The safari begins in the Savute region of Chobe National Park.  Savute's hilly landscape is well-known for large bull elephants and excellent leopard sightings.  You next move south to the Khwai River Concession on the border of Moremi Game Reserve.  This eastern section of the Okavango Delta protects a wide variety of habitats - rivers, lagoons, floodplains, forests and grasslands - that are home to a staggering range of birds, plants, and wildlife.  This is perhaps the best place to see Africa's most endangered predator, the African Wild Dog. The safari ends in the Kalahari Desert, an arid landscape completely in contrast to  the parks further north.  Here you'll experience the San and see wildlife that is not present in Moremi or Chobe, including oryx and springbok.

Accommodation will be a mix of lodges and comfortable camping in private, unfenced campsites deep in the bush. Tents are large and spacious with comfortable beds and an en-suite private toilet/shower. The camp staff takes care of all the chores so you can relax and enjoy an authentic bush experience.  We feel camping is the best way to experience the African wilderness as you will be immersed in the bush and surrounded by the sights and sounds of Botswana's abundant wildlife.

We have only one departure for this safari:  Nov 8-18, 2021
