Botswana Secrets (1) All Lodge Safari |
|
| |
This 6 night all-lodge safari includes some of Botswana’s lesser known but yet exciting game viewing areas such as Makgadikgadi National Park. The safari also visits private concession areas, rivers and lodges outside the National Parks yet still game plentiful.
See Botswana from a different aspect without the usual cost, stay at private boutique style lodges with game drives, night drives and bush walks included.
This safari can be extended to 8 nights to include a night on the game rich Kwai River, bordering Moremi and Chobe National parks. Please enquire.
