Off-road safari in Botswana | Camping in roof tent on the Hippo Route

Your off-road safari in Botswana starts in Maun. Upon arrival, you will be met by our representative and taken to the rental station. Here you will receive detailed instructions about your vehicle, the equipment and the route you will be driving in the coming days. You will then have the opportunity to buy your provisions for the upcoming off-road safari in one of the local supermarkets. Spend the first night at a campsite in Maun, where you can get in the mood for the adventure ahead.

The next morning, set off for the Moremi Game Reserve, which is located east of the Okavango Delta and is one of the most beautiful reserves in Africa. The journey time from Maun is around 4-6 hours, depending on wildlife viewing along the way. At Moremi Game Reserve, you'll spend two days surrounded by pristine wilderness that covers more than 4,871 square kilometers. The varied terrain includes savanna, winding waterways and dense forest. This diverse ecosystem supports a wide range of wildlife, including large herds of buffaloes, wildebeests and zebras, as well as rare Sitatunga and Letschwa antelopes, lions, cheetahs, and packs of wild dogs. The birdlife is also impressive and includes many of the 550 bird species that are on Botswana's national bird list.

After two days in Moremi Game Reserve, break out of camp and drive on to the Khwai area of Moremi Game Reserve. The Khwai area is located along the northern border of the Moremi Game Reserve and is an unfenced border that allows animals to move freely between the forests and the permanent rivers and lagoons of the delta. This region offers excellent game viewing opportunities and is another highlight of your off-road safari in Botswana.

From Khwai, continue your journey and head to the Savuti area of Chobe National Park. Savuti, also known as Savute, is located in the heart of this beautiful park. The dynamic wilderness of Savuti is an extensive savanna punctuated by several rocky outcrops. The Savuti region goes through wet and dry cycles, and where wild dogs hunt in dry rivers today, crocodiles were still swimming twenty years ago. Visitors can discover numerous animal species here, including a variety of birds, elephants, antelopes, lions, jackals, foxes, zebras, kudus, hyenas, cheetahs, Cape buffalo herds, and thousands of migrating zebras and wildebeests.

The journey continues to the Ihaha region of Chobe National Park. The Chobe River forms the northern border of the park and is known for its dense concentration of elephants and hippos. However, the water also attracts many other animals, including large herds of buffaloes. A visit to this area guarantees close encounters with a wide range of African animals and offers great game viewing opportunities.

After a morning game drive, drive on to the town of Kasane. Your off-road safari in Botswana ends here. In Kasane, you have the opportunity to refresh your supplies, take food and drinks on board, and prepare your vehicle for return. You then return your rental vehicle. Depending on the program you have booked, you can return to Europe from here, or take part in a follow-up program.

This off-road safari in Botswana gives you the opportunity to experience some of Africa's most impressive landscapes and wildlife up close. From the vast savannas of the Moremi Game Reserve to the dynamic wilds of Savuti to the rich wildlife viewing opportunities on the Chobe River, this trip will give you unforgettable memories.
