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 more along the lines of "glamping", a camping mobile safari with all bells and whistles of space, luxury and excellent cuisine. Very similar to a tented luxury camp, just mobile, your accommodation follows you are the African bush.

These mobile safaris differ from the classic Botswana camping safari in that the Meru styled tents are bigger, with free-standing beds, a covered verandah (of sorts) and all tented suites offer en-suite bathrooms with bucket showers (hot water and cold water) as well as toilets.

In a nutshell, classic Botswana camping and tented safari will use 3x3m dome tents and these tours use larger Meru styled tents with en-suite bathrooms.

A camp crew travels ahead of the game drive vehicles and sets up camp in advance of one's arrival. When one arrives at camp, your tent is set up, your luggage is waiting for you, and the team in the kitchen is already preparing delicious meals.

All you have to do is take your luggage into your tent, grab a beer or glass of wine, and enjoy the remote and wild private camps that Botswana has to offer. Your Botswana safari guides, camp staff and safari crew do all the camp chores.

Our portfolio of mobile camping safaris in Botswana is perfect for those who want to experience an authentic Southern Africa and Botswana safari without having to rough it!

So if you are looking for a tented safari option that offers wild, unfenced campsites far away from people and superb wildlife sightings, then look no further than our choices below.

All mobile safari camps are swiftly set up and taken down, leaving nothing but footprints in an otherwise pristine wilderness paradise.

Our expert Botswana safari consultants will guide you to the best choice of scheduled or private mobile camping safari options when it comes down to your budget and the number of days you have available for your safari. Should you be looking for private mobile safaris, this can be arranged; this is great if you are thinking of travelling with a small group of friends or family.

Please note that we can also tailor-make a mobile safari from any of the below itineraries should nothing quite match what you are looking for.
