Safari Pricing Info

Imagine herds of elephants emerging from mopane forests coming to drink at the local water source at dusk in front of the sinking sun. How about the roar of a lion at night or hippos splashing in the lagoon next to your camp? Or, witnessing the dramatic action of African wild dogs chasing an impala or watch a giant giraffe stretching her neck to reach leaves high up in a tree? Our Botswana Safari will not leave you disappointed. We'll even track a lion or leopard or two...
