Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Take a morning game drive in Chobe National Park – home to Africa’s largest concentration of elephants, this is one of the world’s great wildlife destinations.
Spend two magnificent evenings at your Feature Stay camp. Perfectly positioned on the Namibian banks of the Zambezi River, enjoy an afternoon boat cruise along the fourth largest river in Africa.
Uncover the unique beauty of the Makgadikgadi Pans during an Exclusive Experience – a 4WD excursion through the sprawling landscape, stopping for drinks and snacks as the sun goes down.
Explore the Okavango Delta's maze of lagoons, lakes and streams via a traditional mokoro boat safari. Enjoy lunch on a delta island and spot wildlife on a bush walk with an experienced guide.
Meet a family of meerkats on the edge of the Ntwetwe Salt Pans and watch them go about their morning rituals as the sun rises.
Is this trip right for you?
As the early bird catches the worm, the early riser sights the animals. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.

We had a lovely time on the Botswana trip. Perfect.balance of relaxation, adventure and excitement. The animal viewings were outstanding. The activities such as canoeing, boating, and helicopter were well planned and executed and so much fun. The accommodations were lovely and made all the down time so relaxing. Whether you were relaxing by the river or getting a foot massage where available, all contributed to a perfect vacation. All the food was excellent. Freshly prepared. Lots of variety. Delicious.

Great trip and amazing experiences. Be prepared for the cold mornings and evenings on the drives (it can get baltic). Switch off and enjoy the sunsets / sunrises (not sure which was better). Botswana lived up to everything I wanted and expected. Just go for it.

An amazing trip! Our leader was well informed and able to assist all group members with any queries. He was always positive, happy and generous with his time. We saw an amazing number of animals and would highly recommend this trip.

Our tour with Admore was well organized, knowledgeable and willing to answer any question. We always felt safe. The food was amazing (often having three courses of real food), we ate very well and were never ill. The accommodations were all very good and comfortable (be prepared for canvas sided cabins that are not air or insect tight; we tent in Canada and were comfortable with this). Chobe Safari Lodge (Kasane) and Chobe river Gondwana (Namibia) accommodations food and activities were excellent - these were our favorite. (If you need solid walls and tight windows to feel comfortable sleeping - the Chobe Safari Lodge in Kasane is for you.) We saw lots of wildlife with knowledgeable guides and drivers and enjoyed the viewing from the accommodation's porches and lounges as well. The bathtub at Nata Lodge cabins was a treat. The pools were all refreshingly cool after game drives in hot sunny weather. We were lucky with the salt pans drives, we saw the flamingos (excellent guide PK) and the meerkats (thankful for the spotter). The game viewing at Leopard Lodge was not as good as elsewhere (we would skip this location in hindsight to stay longer elsewhere) but the food and company were excellent. This tour was in the middle of our longer stay in Africa, our first time travelling to this continent (from Canada). It was late April and early May 2023. The Australians and New Zealanders in our group were all wonderful people. We also took in some day tours with other providers before and after the Intrepid tour, embracing recommendations from our booking.com accommodations and enjoyed each one (a sunset boat ride on Chobe river, a day trip to Victoria Falls, a half day tour of Soweto and a day tour to Pilanesberg National Park where we had an awesome leopard viewing). Last minute plans were very doable which we enjoyed (it was not peak season and tourism is not fully recovered from pandemic). Overall, it is an understatement to say we loved our vacation including this tour. We had so many amazing experiences. Thank you to all the local providers, our tour group leader Admore, the competent drivers, knowledgeable guides, and all the workers who made this vacation seamless and wonderful. You work and live in a fascinating place.

This was an unforgettable experience! I am a birder, and I never saw so many spectacular and exotic birds in such a short amount of time! Seeing all these elephants on the roadside, outside the parks, was exciting. Botswana opened a window to Africa for me. I will be back!
