Mobile Safaris (Okavango Delta)

Mobile camping essentially involves moving from one destination to the next, with short stays in each, using temporary camps that are set up anew at each site. These safaris are outstanding in Botswana, partially as a potential way to visit the highlights without breaking the bank, and also as a means of getting a vintage, old fashioned safari ambience with a close to nature feel. In the Delta's private concessions, your mobile safari is likely to be run by one of the safari operators with permanent camps in the reserve concerned. There are a range of options, from simple camping with shared bucket showers and long drop toilets, to deluxe itineraries with spacious en-suite tents. Activities tend to revolve around game drives although there are sometimes walking safaris, boating and mokoro excursions that can also be enjoyed, depending on the time of year and your route. Some of the attractions include a morning coffee after waking up to the sun streaming through your tent, evening drinks around a roaring campfire and, of course, the sound of animals around camp as you drop off to sleep after a rewarding day's game viewing.

Helicopter the Delta

Since most Delta concessions require you to fly-in by light aircraft, there is little doubt that you will get the chance to view this remarkable tableau of waterways, tree islands and expansive floodplains from the sky, with sensational panoramic vistas that you are unlikely to forget. For real airborne enthusiasts there is the chance to book a helicopter flight, which might last for longer than an inter-reserve transfer and will provide more scope for focusing on specific landscapes and wildlife. Your pilot can also swoop and soar to various altitudes throughout the flight, which is not possible in the same way on a light aircraft transfer that is merely intended to take passengers from A to B. The larger wildlife such as elephants, giraffe and hippo are certainly identifiable from the skies, even when travelling solo, while the large herds of buffalo, zebra and antelope take on a new grandeur from on high. Guests booking this experience will usually get around 45 minutes in the air, with &Beyond's Xudum and Xaranna camps among those that can offer this activity for guests.

Walking Safaris (Okavango Delta)

Walking safaris are offered from virtually all of the camps within private Delta concessions, at least at times of the year when water levels are favourable. While some are necessarily relatively short strolls in areas close to camps largely encircled by water, others are exceptional. Botswana‚Äôs safari guides are renowned, and the walking safaris have a reputation arguably second only to Zambia‚Äôs. Walks will tend to be conducted with a specialist guide and an armed scout, walking at either side of a single-file train, should the close encounters with big game become a little too close for comfort! The best walks are a detailed, intimate exploration of the bush: the alarm calls of the various antelope as you approach; the scat and tracks of each animal, which you will be something of an expert in by the end of your stay; the unique smells that suddenly become prevalent as you cross a dry riverbed and encounter a potato bush or wild lavender; and the unmatched, goosebump inducing thrill of realising that you are suddenly close to elephant, lion or buffalo on foot, utterly reliant on the wits and expertise of others. One of the best walking options is Ker & Downey‚Äôs Footsteps programme, but there are many other camps or mobile programmes that can offer you genuine excitement on foot!
