THE GREAT WILDERNESS SAFARI JOURNEY

A Discoverer Exploration - 11 night /12 day

 

Tour direction: San Camp to Zambia (also operates in the reverse direction)
Combination Wilderness Safaris lodges and fully serviced camping in private concession areas. 

 

To maximize guests’ travel time, a variety of travel modes that bring out the best of each area is used: flying in seat-on charters and overland transfers provide both a bird’s-eye view and an in-depth visual experience of the contrasting landscapes of Botswana.

 

 At the turn of the century, explorers and adventurers made their way leisurely along the dusty paths of Africa, allowing the great continent to seep into their souls. Wilderness' guided mobile safaris takes time to experience and explore Botswana's contrasts and extremes: from the waterless and strange landscape of the Kalahari Desert to the lushly vegetated wetlands of the Okavango Delta.

Wilderness Safaris' newly designed, spacious walk-in Meru tents create a sense of connectedness to the Earth and nature, enhancing the view and the feeling of the wild and untamed.

The style of accommodation in the private Discoverer campsites takes you back to the era of Africa's exploration. Pure linens of heavy cottons, brass bucket showers and basins, separate flushing toilets and shower areas all add to the atmosphere, while luxury comforts and amenities are elegantly provided.

Discoverer fully serviced camping aims to bring the guest closer to nature, by means of a lively camp fire, hurricane lanterns, wide-ranging activities and a warm atmosphere complimenting the comfort and added luxury of the lodges visited. Discoverer camps are specifically outfitted to ensure that luxurious old-style 'Out-of-Africa' camping feel with a clear emphasis on necessary and stylish comfortable interiors, creating a peerless wilderness experience.
