The Last Refuge



Tour Description:

Botswana serves up a pristine wilderness adventure. While staying in secluded tented camps in ultra-private reserves, explore the treasures and diversity of the Okavango Delta and some of Africa’s most important wildlife corridors. How Your Trip Matters Turn your safari into a real holiday enjoying the luxury of time to relax balanced with unhurried safaris. Positive human presence also provides eyes in the field and is a deterrent to possible poaching activity. Highlights Explore the bush from your intimate camps, whose locations and gracious staff welcome you in authentic African style. Discover the varied terrain and wildlife of the Okavango Delta, by traditional mokoro canoes and open-sided safari vehicles. Experience the thrill of small bush plane flights between camps — a chance to view game from the air. (Flights between camps are included.) Enjoy helping monitor wildlife in a critical wildlife corridor boarding an elephant highway.   MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are conscious travel experiences chosen with great care based on the positive social or environmental impact they have both on their communities, and on those who experience them: our guests.
