6-Day Authentic Botswana Camping Safari

Uganda: Private tour • 6 days

Tour overview

Chobe National Park's Nogatshaa Area is 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the riverbank, in the center of Chobe, and ideal for wildlife viewing. It is wild and untamed, has no traffic, and is quite distant, offering a real Botswana camping experience. The region is littered with hides that overlook grassland, pans, and water holes. Savuti is notable for its cats, the famed Savuti Marsh, and Bushman rock art. The Mababe Area is recognized for its wide grassland, which provides a real wilderness experience.
