MOBILE SAFARI
A mobile safari in Botswana is the original journey of discovery, where your camp moves with you every few days. It captures the true spirit of safari, offering an authentic and adventurous experience. With varying levels of luxury, style, and experience, mobile safaris provide a closer connection to nature in lightweight camps.
Why choose a mobile safari? It offers an authentic and exclusive experience, especially suitable for families setting their own routines. It's also an affordable option, either as a private safari or joining a group departure. Unlike traditional safaris with different guides at each camp, a mobile safari provides continuity with the same guide and camp staff throughout.
Before permanent camps, mobile safari camps were used to explore the African wilderness. Many famous camps started as mobile outfits but evolved into permanent establishments. However, the appeal of a mobile safari remains, attracting adventurous travelers seeking a unique immersion in nature. Sleeping in simple canvas tents amidst the bushveld creates unforgettable memories, making a mobile safari in Botswana a truly exceptional experience.
Where do mobile safaris go?
Mobile safaris in Botswana primarily occur in the Moremi Game Reserve, Chobe National Park, Central Kalahari Game Reserve, and community concessions like Khwai. While safaris in parks adhere to park rules, which limit activities like off-roading and night drives, community areas offer more flexibility. Therefore, most mobile safaris include stops in both areas.
Parks tend to be busier with other visitors from camps, mobile safaris, and self-drivers. However, private mobile safaris on exclusive concessions provide a more secluded experience, albeit at a higher cost.
