Botswana and the Okavango delta.
The "ultimate" wildlife adventure
​

12 day adventure exploring the best of the Botswana's Okavango Delta and the majestic Victoria Falls.
Watch the video and start dreaming
Victoria Falls and Botswana's Okavango Delta.
"luxury in the wilderness" Our Epic African adventure for lovers of "wildlife".

For those who love wildlife, Botswana and the Okavango delta are "bucket list" dreams. Along with the Serengeti the Okavango delta is considered the "creme de la creme" of African wildlife experiences. Exclusive, intimate, and without the crowds of East Africa, its an experience that is hard to top. This along with the exceptional service and friendliness of the people, make this trip of a lifetime, hard to beat.
This trip is for for those that love the WILD, spotting the animals, photography, and sunsets in the bush. All with the added draw card of Victoria Falls the "Smoke that thunders". All the pictures below were taken by our  group on the 2023 trip, we had some great photographers with us.
Our first three nights we stay at one of my favourite places in Africa, our exclusive lodge right on the  banks of the  mighty Zambezi river. OTS has booked out  the whole lodge just for our group, which is why this trip has a strict 8 rooms available limit of which only 3 rooms can be single. So if a room of your own is important to you, please book early.

Botswana has managed its ecotourism by restricting development to the more upmarket end. What I have put together here showcases 4 distinct ecosystems, as well as the mighty Victoria Falls. Anyone that has seriously researched Botswana will know the cost we are doing this for is exceptional for the lodges we are using. Everything is included, meals, local drinks, park fees, internal flights and transfers and of course 22 safaris. This is a wildlife lovers dream trip.

The 2027 day to day itinerary and details of the accomodation, is wonderfully displayed using the link below.
