Desert Safari Expedition

These new pastures attract many herbivores and is known for the 'Zebra Migration', the second largest land migration in Africa which in turn attracts many predators.
Botswana Mobile Safari FAQs
What is a mobile tented safari in Botswana?
A mobile tented safari is an authentic camping expedition where your camp moves with you through Botswana's wilderness areas — Moremi Game Reserve, the Khwai Private Concession, Chobe National Park and the Kalahari. You sleep in private ensuite tents in remote locations accessible only by specialist mobile operations, with twice-daily game drives in open 4x4 vehicles.
How long are the Botswana mobile safaris?
Kingfisher Safaris runs 6-night / 7-day and 9-night / 10-day mobile expeditions. Shorter itineraries focus on the Okavango Delta and Moremi; longer itineraries add Chobe National Park and the Kalahari desert pans.
What is included in a Botswana mobile safari?
All meals, drinks, park fees, and twice-daily game drives are included. Every tent has a private ensuite bathroom with a hot bucket shower and flushing toilet. Luxury Sahara tent departures also include the charter flight to your first camp location.
What wildlife will I see on a Botswana mobile safari?
Lion, leopard, cheetah, African wild dog, elephant, buffalo, zebra, giraffe and hippo are regularly seen. The Kalahari and Makgadikgadi departures add desert species such as springbok, gemsbok, brown hyena and the zebra migration (Nov–Apr).
When is the best time for a Botswana mobile safari?
The dry season from June to October is peak game-viewing as animals concentrate around shrinking water sources. November to April (the green season) brings the zebra migration to the Kalahari and Makgadikgadi, dramatic skies and fewer visitors.
How much does a Botswana mobile safari cost?
Classic dome-tent expeditions start from £3,000 per person for 6 nights. Luxury Sahara-tent expeditions, which include your charter flight, start from £4,320 per person for 6 nights and £6,480 per person for the 9-night Moremi & Chobe itinerary.
Who guides the Kingfisher mobile safaris?
