Kubu Quad & Selinda Canoe

No. of nights: 8 nights
Locations: the Makgadikgadi Pans and the Okavango Delta
Best to do this: Best between April and October.
Style: The great explorers safari, this will see you following in the footsteps of those first great men that found Botswana, experiencing the most magical vastness of Africa along the way, and seeing some great game.
For who: For those wanting to take a unique journey that no one else will have done, or even contemplated – excellent for a group or family wanting to be completely private.
Why we love it: These adventures are what drive our passion for this continent, getting away from safari vehicles and into game rich areas on foot and in canoes, and also quad biking across the magical Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Although this may seem to be only for active people, in fact everything is at a very leisurely African pace and you would not have to be active or fit to enjoy this wonderful itinerary.

Hello there, we prefer not to list too many luxury safari itineraries on our website for the simple reason that everything we do is highly bespoke.

We’re very quick at coming back to you with a tailor made itinerary so simply contact us with your requirements or questions and we’ll come back to you that day with your own tailor made luxury safari itinerary.

Here are some of our recommendations when planning your luxury safari:

• We don’t recommend any less than 3 nights in most properties, travelling every other day between camps and lodges can be tiring and not allow you to thoroughly experience the area.
• If you do have the time, why not even stay longer, 4-7 nights in some safari camps and lodges is just magical giving you time to relax as well as enjoy exceptional wildlife viewing.
• Don’t try to fit too much in.
• If you have time, we always recommend doing at least a two centre safari – we will pair two very different safari camps and ecosystems so you get to experience the very best of the country you have chosen.
• Don’t get caught up in social media/online hype – take the advice of your safari consultant as they have visited these properties and areas many times and can give you accurate information on the positives and negatives.

The kind of safaris we specialise in are always:

• Bespoke just for you – we never plan the same itinerary twice.
• Based on extensive first hand personal knowledge of all of Africa’s high end camps and lodges.
