Camping

Year after year, Moremi Game Reserve, Khwai Concession and Savuti welcomes visitors from all corners of the world, some who are curious, some who have heard of the wonders of these wildlife areas from far away. There is a marvellous feeling of anticipation, the thrill of a new world of nature and wildlife about to be unfolded, of having arrived in paradise. This comfortable non-participation private camping safari allows guests to relax without being involved in camp duties. Accompanied by a guide, chef, and a camp assistant, all your
needs will be catered for.
Accommodation is provided in dome tents (measuring 2.4 meters by 2.4 meters), or meru canvas camping safari tents featuring basic en-suite facilities – including bucket shower, basin and toilet. However, the toilet is often not of the flush type – instead it is a drop toilet (consisting of a hole in the ground with a basic seat above it). You will be treated to three meals daily, skilfully prepared by the camp chef, who possesses the remarkable ability to create sophisticated and delectable meals even in the midst of the wilderness. Game drive activities primarily occur during the early mornings and late afternoons, with relaxation time back at camp during the midday hours. This safari is undertaken in customized safari vehicles with rear mounted game viewing seats underneath a canvas canopy – offering 360-degree views and fantastic opportunities for game viewing. This tour commences and ends in Maun Warm clothes are necessary during winter months and rain gear during the rainy season.
