Okavango Expedition
Our Okavango Expedition takes in the southern end of Moremi and the Khwai Private Concession, both integral parts of the Okavango system.

Locations We'll Explore
Your Accommodation
Classic Dome Tents
Traditional 3x3m dome tents with stretcher-style beds, premium memory-foam mattresses and private ensuite bathrooms with hot bucket showers and flushing toilets. The camp relocates with you from Moremi to the Khwai Concession — set up in prime private campsites by a chef and camp crew trained in Botswana's top lodges. Evenings end around the campfire under unpolluted Delta stars, with cold drinks and fresh, hearty meals. No fences, no other vehicles and the sounds of the bush all around — exactly how mobile safaris have been run in Botswana for decades.

Detailed Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival — Moremi Game Reserve
Drive from Maun into the Moremi Game Reserve. Your dome camp is set up in a private spot among the leadwoods; after lunch and a briefing with Pilot, a first evening drive introduces you to this pristine wilderness as the floodplains turn gold and the first elephant herds drift in to drink against a sunset over the reedbeds.
Days 2-3
Moremi Game Reserve
Two full days in southern Moremi. Morning and evening drives reveal large elephant herds, lion prides on the open plains, leopard in the riverine forest and plains game — zebra, wildebeest, giraffe and red lechwe — across a mosaic of floodplain, woodland and lagoon. Birdlife is exceptional, from African fish eagles and saddle-billed storks to the brilliantly coloured lilac-breasted roller; midday is your own for lunch, a siesta and a hot bucket shower before the afternoon drive.
Days 4-6
Khwai Private Concession
Three full days in Khwai, where the permanent waters of the Okavango meet dry mopane and acacia woodland. This ecotone is incredibly rich — search for wild dog, tree-climbing leopard and the famous Khwai lion prides. A mokoro trip threads the quiet channels past hippos and reedbed birds, and night drives (a concession privilege) reveal bushbabies, serval and owls. The camp's mobility — no fences, no other vehicles, the sounds of the bush all around — is the heart of the experience.
Day 7
Departure
A final morning drive and breakfast, then the drive back to Maun carrying the silence and scale of an authentic Okavango experience.
