FAQs


Why choose our mobile camping safaris?

Our mobile camping safari offers you a truly authentic African experience.  We camp in private, secluded campsites in the parks so you can have a true bush experience: from enjoying a bush campfire to falling asleep to the distant roars of lions, from witnessing the beauty of the night sky to watching the sun rise.  Our mobile camping safaris get you out in the wilds to experience the magic of bush camping.  Our guides are exceptional and have a deep respect for the land and an extensive knowledge about the wildlife.  They have worked and lived in Botswana for years and have experience to provide you with a safe and enjoyable trip.  Our mobile safaris are ideal for small groups, including families or groups of friends. 

 
What type of wildlife will I see?
This depends on the safari you choose.  You will see different types of animals if you choose a safari that visits the Kalahari over one that visits Moremi and Chobe.  In the Kalahari antelopes like the gemsbok and springbok are common.  In northern Botswana you can expect to see all the classic African game: elephant, lion, cape buffalo, giraffe, hippos and many types of antelope.  Some mammals are common but relatively difficult to see (like the leopard).  In addition to the large mammals you can expect to see smaller mammals such as baboons, vervet monkeys, and warthogs. Please be aware we can not guarantee any animal sightings.

Birdlife is abundant as well so bring your binoculars and a field guide.  You can buy guide books in Maun or at the Oliver Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.  We recommend bringing a field guide to birds and mammals of southern Africa with you so you're not rushing around trying to find one at the airport!  Check Amazon or contact us for recommendations.

Please see our "Itinerary" page where we describe the major parks we'll visit and the animals we hope to see.

 
What immunizations do I need?
Please see the "Visas and Vaccinations" page where we give links to the US Centers for Disease Control websites.  Review the information carefully and consult your physician before deciding on any immunizations.
 
What is the typical group size for your safaris?

We take a maximum of 12 clients plus a guide and camp assistant.  However, the departure date is guaranteed so if only 2 people pay for a specific safari it will not be cancelled.  Some safaris combine with our safaris going to the same destination so your original group size may change.  For example clients on the Fish Eagle Safari may join up with clients from the Buffalo Safari when you return to Maun and depart for Moremi and Chobe.
