Experience the Beauty of Botswana

See extraordinary concentrations of wildlife and breathtaking interaction between buffalo and lion - with no other vehicles except for yours. This is what Botswana is about - fantastic wildlife and huge concessions. Imagine being poled across the floodplains in a dug-out canoe with the heavy scent of water-lilies permeating the air.

The Explorations Company, where no two journeys have ever been the same

Catch a glimpse of the rare, elusive sitatunga antelope. Perhaps you might like to spend time amongst the San people, learning about their culture and the custom of trance-dancing. Return to your luxury, private tented camp which has been erected just for you and reminisce on the day's excitements with your private guide, revealing the wonders of the African bush to you.

For the more adventurous, take a quad bike across the salt pans and discover the families of meerkats. Spend time game viewing on an open Land Rover with your expert guide, tracking down wild dog, leopard, lion and listening to them calling at night. Feel the thrill as you determine the tracks of the species that walked past your tent as you lay sleeping.

See the concentrations of elephant crossing the Chobe or Linyanti Rivers, using their trunks as periscopes. Imagine spending time with rescued orphaned elephants, becoming part of the herd across the Okavango Delta.
