Here Africa ensures you get the most out of your journey—learn more about the activity options in Botswana to maximize your safari experience.
The Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is home to the second-largest zebra migration in the world. Here, thousands of zebras migrate to the Boteti River in the dry winter months, coming from their summer grazing grounds further inside the park. The fascinating contrast between the Boteti River and the arid national park makes it an absolute must for any Botswana safari.
Set on the banks of the beautiful Thamalakane River in northern Botswana, Maun is the third-largest town in this spectacularly scenic Southern African country. The town is the starting point for most expeditions into the Okavango Delta, earning its title as Botswana’s tourism capital. Area attractions include a renowned riverboat offering cruises along the Thamalakane River, the forest groves of the Maun Game Reserve, and Moremi Game Reserve—home to hippos, lions, and rhinos.
Situated in the east of the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve ranks among the most beautiful reserves in Africa. It covers more than 4,871 square kilometers of pristine wilderness, featuring varied terrain—savannah, winding waterways, and dense forests. This diverse ecosystem supports an incredible range of wildlife, from large herds of buffalo, wildebeest, and zebra to the rare sitatunga and lechwe antelope, as well as lions, cheetahs, and wild dogs.
Located in the Chobe region of Botswana, the pristine Kazuma Forest Reserve offers an authentic African wilderness experience. This impressive landscape spans thousands of hectares, featuring expansive grasslands, natural pans, and Mopane tree forests. It is home to abundant wildlife, including wildebeest, buffalo, antelope, sable, giraffe, zebra, lion, and leopard. Numerous elephant herds also frequent this reserve, as it lies along a key elephant corridor.
We make use of mid-range typical African standard lodge accommodation. Accommodation is situated either in national parks, on the banks of a river, or in other places of interest. The accommodation will be a mix of lodges, chalets and tented camps with en-suite bathrooms.

Here Africa has extensive knowledge and experience in most African countries. Over the years, we’ve learned essential “Do’s and Don’ts” for traveling across the continent. Below is a helpful guide to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey. Note that not all tips apply to every destination—your itinerary will determine what’s most relevant.
Ethical Wildlife Practices
Due to a lack of transparent regulation around captive wildlife interactions, Here Africa does not support activities involving physical contact with captive animals. We encourage you to consider the ethical implications of such experiences, should they be offered at your lodge.
Rest up! Adjusting to a new time zone takes time. Consider arriving a day early to start your adventure refreshed.
Avoid street exchanges or “too-good-to-be-true” offers (e.g., 50% premium rates)—these are illegal black-market transactions.
Hotels, camps, and lodges may exchange currency, but rates can be less favorable. We recommend accredited Bureau de Change offices.
Visa and MasterCard are widely accepted at hotels, lodges, and urban areas.
Medication: Pack enough prescription meds for your trip—local pharmacies may not stock what you need.
Hospitals: Larger towns have medical facilities, but remote areas do not.
Safety: Avoid walking alone at night or in unfamiliar areas.
Keep passports, documents, and valuables secure at all times.
Carry photocopies of important documents in a separate location.
Leave expensive jewelry at home—safaris call for practicality!
Luggage: Use soft bags (ideal for safari vehicles). Check airline weight limits (typically 20kg) and safari limits (often 15kg).
Tags: Label all bags for flights and safaris.
Essentials:
Comfortable, layered clothing (sun protection + warm layers).
Sturdy shoes, hat, light raincoat, and sunscreen.
Flashlight (some lodges have limited electricity).
Punctuality: Arrive on time for game drives—delays mean missed wildlife sightings!
Wildlife Caution: Animals are wild—never approach them, even if they roam near lodges.
The African sun is intense. Protect yourself with sunscreen, hats, and hydration to avoid heat exhaustion.
Water: Stick to bottled water (tap water is unsafe in many regions). Ice is usually safe but ask first.
Food: Enjoy Africa’s fresh fruits and veggies—peel them before eating. Most meals are provided on safari.
Many African regions are malaria zones. Take anti-malaria meds as prescribed and consult a doctor if flu-like symptoms appear post-trip.
Voltage is typically 220-240V AC. Bring a converter if your devices don’t support this.
Ask permission before photographing people.
Never photograph military, police, government buildings, or airports.
Restaurants: 10% tip (unless service charge is included).
Guides/Drivers: $5–$10 USD per day is appreciated.
Upon your arrival at your accommodation, settle in and soak up the sights and sounds of the Botswana bush. Meno a Kwena Tented Camp boasts amazing walking safaris, a floating animal hide, and a very special activity where guests have the chance to partake in a bushman walking experience. Get intimately acquainted with the people from the Ju! Hoansi clan village of Xai Xai, and gain insight into their hunter/gatherer way of life.
You will be transferred from Meno a Kwena to Maun International Airport then take a flight to Oddballs Airstrip. You are then transferred to Delta Camp, which is located on a beautifully palm-studded island, each chalet is assigned its own private guide who becomes your go-to when exploring the region, either on guided walks or a mokoro excursion through the many floodplains and channels.
You will leave Delta camp and be transferred to Oddballs’ Airstrip for your flight to Kasane Airport. You are then transferred to Camp Kuzuma. Upon your arrival at Kazuma Forest Reserve, you may visit the large wooden deck to watch elephants meander in the muddy waterhole in front of your accommodation. Here, you’ll experience game walks and half-day game drives at the hand of experienced guides. Evening drives allow you to experience the bush at night and discover various nocturnal animals.
Enjoy a final hearty breakfast in the bush before being transferred to Kasane Airport for your onward journey.
