Guides and staff ensure a smooth stay and take care of everything from spotting game, tents and hot showers to wholesome home-cooked dinners. Private groups of two to nine guests are able to book safaris on dates that suit them, rather than be restricted to set pre-planned schedules. With Lewis Safaris the emphasis isn’t just about viewing the Big Five. It’s about the warmth of the campfire, the distant roar of a lion and that amazing smell of the first rain in November with the call of the bell frogs in the reeds.

Founded in 1986, Okavango Horse Safaris is the first riding safari company in southern Africa. The focus is a journey through the diverse landscape of the Okavango Delta. The company uses two camps: Kujwana, luxury en-suite tents raised on deckings under a natural canopy; Mokolwane, two metre high tree houses along the edge of the Matsibe River.

Orient-Express offers luxury safaris in Botswana. Guests stay in authentic African surroundings, as local experts lead them to wildlife areas that other travellers rarely access.

Rides are limited to six guests and non-riders can be accommodated. The remote camps are accessed by helicopter, based in private concession areas of over 2,500 sq km bordering the Moremi National Park. Guests will also experience the delta from mokoro, on foot and game drives with night drives.

Masson Safaris offers tailor-made safaris as well as themed safaris, such as Discover Northern Botswana, Saltpans and Waterways, Rivers Past and Present and Desert and Delta. Safaris are available to the Transfrontier Park, hiking safaris at Tsodilo Hills, fishing on the Okavango River and excursions to Victoria Falls and Namibia.

Each of the three safari camps has its own distinct character: Khwai River Lodge nestles on the edge of a forest overlooking the floodplains of the Moremi Game Reserve. Savute Elephant Camp, in Chobe National Park, is known for herds of elephants that can be spotted. Eagle Island Camp is situated on remote Xaxaba island, within the Okavango Delta. Guests explore the region by local canoe, set out on a game drive or roam on foot. Orient-Express takes its guests to the heart of each property’s destination.
