May–October for water and predators in many concessions. Two camps, enough nights, no filler.
This is a starting point. We refine lodges, flying days and pacing around who is travelling, the season and how you like to spend a safari afternoon.
The Serengeti’s open plains suit long game drives and predator viewing. Camp location relative to the migration corridor matters more than a generic park label.
We choose mobile or permanent camps based on season and how many consecutive nights you want in one place.
This route focuses on Makgadikgadi. We adjust lodge choice, flight legs and the number of nights in each area to match your season and travel style.
Travel style: Desert & pans. Distinct from Delta water safaris.
Maun and Kasane are the main safari hubs. Light aircraft link camps; we minimise back-to-back flight days where possible.
Botswana’s dry winter from May to October concentrates wildlife around water. Summer rains from November to March green the landscape and bring dramatic skies.
May to October is peak for water-focused camps. We match camp choice to flood levels and your appetite for exclusivity.
