Under the Canopy of Southern Stars

The real safari, in the classic sense, still exists in the heart of Botswana. This luxurious mobile tented safari combines modern comfort with the long forgotten spirit of adventure. On your journey, you will experience the magnificent glory of the Okavango Delta by mokoro (dugout canoe), on overland gamedrives and nature walks. Incomparable wildlife viewing beckons from Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park, home to the big African cats, among other wildlife. An activity-filled stay at Victoria Falls completes the full picture of natures’s bounty. Your safari will be an intimate experience of the wilderness and wildlife, while being pampered in comfortable East African-style tents and unique lodges. Delicious and innovatively prepared bush cuisine is enjoyed around the campfire and fine wines accompany good companionship under the canopy of southern stars.
