This 8-day mobile camping safari is the most authentic way to experience the Okavango Delta — travelling through the wilderness with your own fully equipped mobile camp that is set up fresh at each new location by your expert crew. Unlike fixed lodges, mobile camping puts you directly in the landscape, falling asleep to the sounds of hippos grunting in the channels and waking to birdsong and the smell of freshly brewed coffee over an open fire. Your journey begins in Maun and ventures deep into the delta by mokoro, the traditional dugout canoe that is the quintessential mode of transport in this watery wonderland. Poled silently through the channels by expert local guides, you will drift past lily pads and papyrus banks, watching elephants wade through the shallows and kingfishers dart between the reeds. As you move through the delta, your mobile camp follows, appearing as if by magic at each night's location — complete with comfortable dome tents, hot bucket showers, and a dining tent with fresh meals prepared by your camp chef. The safari continues overland to Moremi Game Reserve for Big Five game drives, combining the intimacy of the camping experience with world-class wildlife encounters. Walking safaris, night drives, and extended game drives ensure every moment in the bush is maximised. This is safari as the pioneers experienced it — close to nature, thrilling, and deeply rewarding.
Meet at Maun Airport in the morning and transfer by 4x4 to the mokoro station at the edge of the Okavango Delta. Meet your team of expert polers and guides, load the mokoros, and push off into the channels. The first few hours are spent gliding silently through crystal-clear waters flanked by papyrus and water lilies. Arrive at your first island campsite in the late afternoon, where the crew has already set up camp with dome tents, a dining area, and bucket showers. Enjoy sundowners as the delta turns gold in the fading light.
