The Great Botswana Journey

A Discoverer Exploration - 7 nights /8 days - Experience a nostalgic, turn-of-the-century camping / lodge safari that recreates the sense of a game-viewing adventure reminiscent of the times of the great African explorers. Price £2290 per person.

At the turn of the century, explorers and adventurers made their way leisurely along the dusty paths of Africa, allowing the great continent to seep into their souls. Wilderness' guided mobile safaris takes time to experience and explore Botswana's contrasts and extremes: from the seemingly harsh Savannah of the Linyanti and its forests to the lushly vegetated wetlands of the Okavango Delta.

Wilderness Safaris' newly designed, spacious walk-in meru tents create a sense of connectedness to the Earth and nature, enhances both the view and the feeling of the wild and untamed.

The style of accommodation in the private Discoverer campsites takes you back to the era of Africa's exploration. Pure linens of heavy cottons, brass bucket showers and basins, separate flushing toilets and shower areas all add to the atmosphere, while luxury comforts and amenities are elegantly provided.
