Kubu Lodge
Kubu Lodge is located in the little village of Kazungula in far northern Botswana. Overlooking the Chobe River, the lodge is 2km upstream from the confluence with the Zambezi River where four countries meet – Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
The property encompasses 30 hectares of pristine riverine forest and is mostly undeveloped. This provides a sanctuary for the usually shy Chobe Bushbuck as well as a host of other small animals and prolific birdlife. The entry gate to the Chobe National Park is a mere 12km away.
Elephant Valley Lodge
The Elephant Valley Lodge in Botswana is an epitome of luxury! It lies between the Chobe National Park in Botswana & the equally impressive Matetsi wildlife conservancy, south of the Kazangula border crossing & within the Kasane Forest Reserve.
The camp comprises 20 ‘meru’ style luxury safari tents & can accommodate a maximum of 40 guests. The lodge overlooks an extremely productive water hole. Activities include daily safaris & boat cruises into the Chobe National Park. The unique lodge location provides guests with exceptional game viewing opportunities.
Botswana is an unbelievable gem offering unforgettable safari adventures.

Okavango
One of the most sought after wilderness destinations in the world, the Okavango Delta gives entrance to the spectacle of wild Africa such as dreams are made of – the heart-stopping excitement of big game viewing, the supreme tranquility and serenity of an untouched delta, and evocative scenes of extraordinary natural beauty.
A journey to the Okavango Delta – deep into Africa’s untouched interior – is like no other. Moving from wetland to dryland – traversing the meandering palm and papyrus fringed waterways, passing palm-fringed islands, and thick woodland, resplendent with lush vegetation, and rich in wildlife – reveals the many facets of this unique ecosystem, the largest intact inland delta in the world.
Savuti
The Savuti Game Reserve is found at the Western end of the Chobe Game Reserve, covering nearly 5,000km2, including the Savuti Marsh, Savute Channel and Mababe Depression. The Savute channel is one of the regions most interesting features as it was dry for many years, before it started flowing again in 2008.
The result has been the migration of large herds of game back to the region, making it one of the best areas to see a huge diversity of game in Botswana. The wide, open plains around the Savute Marsh also supports a wide variety of game and the skeletal trees also make for some stunning photographs, especially in the dry season.
The area is renowned for its sightings of lion and hyena, as well as supporting a large population of bull elephants. Cheetah can often be seen on the plains around the marshes and the many rocky outcrops mean that leopard are common, as are the agile little klipsringer antelope.
The real drawcard of the area is the zebra and wildebeest migration, less well known than that of East Africa, but no less spectacular. The timings are not predictable, however, they tend to follow the rains, arriving into the Savute Marsh around November time to give birth to their young.
Moremi
This gem of a National Park has garnered a number of important distinctions. in 2008, it was voted the ‘best game reserve in Africa’ by the prestigious African Travel and Tourism Association at South Africa’s premier tourism fair, Indaba.
It is the first reserve in Africa that was established by local residents. Concerned about the rapid depletion of wildlife in their ancestral lands – due to uncontrolled hunting and cattle encroachment – the Batawana people of Ngamiland, under the leadership of the deceased Chief Moremi III’s wife, Mrs. Moremi, took the bold initiative to proclaim Moremi a game reserve in 1963.
It is the only officially protected area of the Okavango Delta, and as such holds tremendous scientific, environmental and conservation importance.
And, undoubtedly, Moremi ranks as one of the most beautiful reserves in Africa, possibly in the world.
