Botswana Mobile Safari Options: An Unforgettable Wild Camping Safari Experience

A safari in Botswana is an amazing and unique experience for anyone interested in diverse wildlife, birdlife, photography, nature and the wilds of Southern Africa and Africa.

When on a Botswana safari, you will see a plethora of animals, including lions, leopards, elephants, wild dogs, cheetahs, giraffes, Cape buffalos, and zebras, to mention a just few of the 164 mammal species one can spot.

Birdlife in the country is also exceptional, with over 593 species recorded to date; a must for anyone interested in spotting and photographing birds. The summer months are best for birding safaris.

Botswana in Southern Africa offers up famed national parks and game reserves, including Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, Khwai Conservation Area, Chobe National Park, Savuti, Linyanti, Selinda Makgadikgadi Pans, Central Kalahari Game Reserve and even Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe or Zambia. All of which can be included in any of the below scheduled or private mobile safaris.

So The Question Arises, What Exactly Is A "Mobile Camping Safari"?

Think camping or "glamping" – a mobile safari with all the space, luxury, and excellent cuisine of a tented camp, but on the move. Your accommodation follows you through the African bush.

These safaris differ from classic Botswana camping in that they use larger Meru-style tents with free-standing beds, a small verandah, en-suite bathrooms with bucket showers (hot and cold water), and toilets. In contrast, classic camping typically uses smaller 3x3m dome tents.

A safari crew travels ahead to set up camp before you arrive. When you reach camp, your tent is ready, your luggage is waiting, and the kitchen team is already preparing meals. All you need to do is settle into your tent, enjoy a drink, and soak in the remote, wild Botswana campsites. The guides and staff handle all the camp chores.

Our mobile camping safaris in Botswana are ideal for those seeking an authentic African experience without sacrificing comfort. If you’re looking for a tented safari with wild, unfenced campsites and incredible wildlife sightings, our options are perfect for you.

Mobile camps are quickly set up and taken down, leaving behind only footprints in the pristine wilderness. Our expert Botswana safari consultants can help you choose the best option for your budget and schedule, whether you prefer a private or scheduled safari. Private safaris are great for small groups of friends or family.

We can also tailor any itinerary to suit your needs if nothing quite matches what you're looking for.
