Tents:

The tents are fitted with solid base camp beds made up with mattresses, sheets, duvets and pillows. The tents have en-suite long drop toilet facilities and a bucket shower at the rear of the tent. Showers can be ordered as hot, cold or warm and the water is heated in a bucket on the fire. Showers may be taken at any time. Both hand towels and bath towels are supplied.

Each tent has an oil/paraffin lamp on the veranda and in the bathroom and within the tent itself, a LED rechargeable camp light is supplied along with a side table in the sleeping area and in the bathroom. Although each tent has lighting and there are lamps strategically around the camp for navigation, an essential tool for your safari is a headlamp which lets you read a book at night in your tent or catch up with your safari journal as you listen to the sounds of the wild outside!

For families travelling with younger children on private trips, Letaka Safaris have designed a family safari tent, ensuring the children’s safety and their parent’s peace of mind. A family tent is a two-bedroom unit with an adjoining bathroom and lockable exit/entrance with each tent taking 2 people in each.

Detailed itinerary

You luxury mobile camping safari starts at Maun International Airport where your early afternoon charter flight will take you over the breath-taking landscapes of the Eastern Okavango Delta to Xakanaxa airstrip in Moremi Game Reserve. Here, you will be met by your guide.

Your first three nights are spent in the Xakanaxa region where your will explore the surrounding wilderness on morning and afternoon game drives.

Moremi lies on the eastern extremity of the Okavango Delta with habitats ranging from wide-open floodplains, marshes, lagoons, papyrus fringed channels, woodland and savannah. As a result of the extremely variable habitat the diversity of both wildlife and birdlife is excellent. Indeed, Moremi is amongst the best game reserves in Africa for viewing endangered African wild dog and Xakanaxa is home to a resident herd of several hundred buffalo whose range covers the territories of at least 4 prides of lion which may often be seen flanking the ever moving herd. Breeding herds of elephant move between their browsing areas in the mopane forests and the fresh water of the Okavango. Red lechwe are one of the more unusual antelope species and commonly found in this area.

Following an early morning breakfast you will spend the full day doing an extended game drive from Moremi Game Reserve to the Mababe Concession, stopping for a picnic lunch between camps. On the way you will pass the magnificent Dombo Hippo Pools, stopping to enjoy the scenery and the antics of the resident hippo.

The Khwai River meanders through the concession giving ample riverside routes to explore. You spend the following three nights camping at an exclusive campsite in the Mababe concession that has a strict max of 20 vehicles for the whole concession at any given time. You will explore the river banks, Kalahari shrub to the east, cathedral mopane to the south on game drives both during the day and at night. Exploring after dark with spotlights offers you an opportunity to experience some of the nocturnal animals that are rarely encountered during the day.

You will also have the opportunity to explore the surrounding wilderness on foot (please note that this activity is seasonal based on rains and grass height, your guide will determine the safety of walking in Mababe) to enjoy an up close and personal encounter with Botswana’s flora and fauna. It is important to note that night drives and guided walks are not permitted within national parks and reserves. These activities are conducted outside the boundaries of the Moremi Game Reserve in the Mababe Private Reserve.

The region boasts excellent populations of elephant. Lion, leopard, serval and African wildcat are common predators of the region with wild dog and cheetah being less common. Buffalo use this area seasonally with large herds moving in during the summer rains. The swampy areas in the west are home to red lechwe. Other ungulates include tsesebe, blue wildebeest, giraffe, kudu, sable antelope, roan antelope and impala.
