Botswana's Okavango Delta is the world's largest inland water system with one of the richest wildlife regions in Africa.

From the extensive waterways of the Okavango Delta to the open savannas and woodlands, the game viewing in these areas is unrivalled.

With numerous elephants, game animals, big cats and wild dogs, the incredible birdlife is often a surprise that amazes guests as we embark on our African journey. Sundowner drinks and campfire stories allow us to relive the experiences of our days among new friends. This is an expedition that will provide more memories than you can ever imagine.

Safari Itinerary

Arrive in Maun, Botswana, where you will be met and transferred by light aircraft to a remote airstrip. Upon arrival, our safari vehicle will be waiting to welcome you for the journey to our private camp. Over the next five nights, we will explore and photograph the region’s ever-changing wildlife, taking advantage of the exceptional diversity and abundance of species found here.

On Day 6, we will relocate to a second camp, offering a new landscape and fresh photographic opportunities. We will spend four nights exploring, tracking, and photographing the wildlife, immersing ourselves in the unique character of this area.

On our final day, we will transfer back to the airstrip for the flight to Maun, where the safari concludes in time for international departures.

Please note that camp and airstrip locations will be determined according to seasonal conditions and wildlife movements to ensure the best possible safari experience.

What our guests have to say about their experience…

“We have just returned from a brilliant trip to Botswana with Chris and Aurora. Their knowledge and application of photography was superb, but at the same time they made sure that we knew what we were doing, understood the photography shots we were trying to take and made sure we took them to the best of our ability. Both Chris and Aurora were generous with their time, both when out on safari and in camp, when we had time to review and edit our images. The trip was incredibly well organised, very relaxed and every detail had been thought of and taken care of. So we cannot thank Chris and Aurora (plus the ground crew) enough for making it truly a fantastic trip.” - Alison A.

“An amazing trip. Everything was super well-organised, the photography opportunities boundless, and Chris and Aurora are incredibly knowledgeable. The experience went well beyond a photography trip.” - Jo B.
