About this activity

Blending into the surroundings and enhancing the natural elements around us, while maintaining all the comforts and necessities required to create the perfect safari feel and experience was the aim when designing the Lodge. Large spanning decks are nestled and spread out between majestic acacia tress and the unmistakable “Mogotse” bush resembling the horns of a Gemsbok are customary to the Lodge’s ambience. Unlimited access to the the Boteti River either by simply enjoying a refreshing drink and viewing the hippo, crocodiles or abundant birdlife or by a guided Mokoro (Traditional dug out canoe) or Motorboat cruise down the river. Although spread over a massive area the lodge is small and intimate allowing for a personalized experience for all guests and enhanced by skilled staff to attend to your every need. The remote location is situated away from all man made distractions allowing one to truly submerge themselves into the splendor of pristine and untouched natural surroundings.

Itinerary

Day 1 · Maun to Boteti Tented Safari Lodge and sunset mokoro safari

Stop 1

2 hours

Upon arrival at Maun Airport, you will be welcomed by your ranger and guide before departing on a short 20 minute transfer to the peaceful Boteti Tented Safari Lodge.

After check-in, enjoy a refreshing welcome drink and a brief orientation about your upcoming safari

adventures. Spend some time settling into your comfortable tent and taking in the sights and sounds of the surrounding bush.

As the afternoon cools, embark on a sunset mokoro ride along the Boteti River (subject to water levels). Glide quietly along the calm waters while watching for hippos, crocodiles, and the many waterbirds that frequent the riverbanks. Your experienced guide will share fascinating insights about the area’s ecosystem and wildlife.

Return to the lodge to freshen up before gathering around the open fire for a delicious traditional dinner under the stars. The calls of the African night complete your first magical evening on safari.

Day 2 · Full day Moremi Safari and overnight in Khwai

Moremi Game Reserve

10 hours

Wake up to the sounds of the bush and enjoy freshly brewed coffee and rusks before departing early for your full-day safari in Moremi Game Reserve.

A continental breakfast will be served upon arrival at the entrance to Moremi before you venture into one of Botswana’s most celebrated wildlife destinations.

A packed lunch will be served at a scenic spot deep within the reserve, allowing you to relax and take in the wilderness around you. Continue exploring until late afternoon.

After your safari, proceed to Khwai Mokoro Safaris and Campsites, where you’ll spend the night under a canopy of stars in a dome camping tent.

Depending on your arrival time in Khwai and your preference, you may choose to enjoy an afternoon mokoro safari on the Mbudi River, gliding quietly through the tranquil floodplains in search of elephants, lechwe, and abundant birdlife.

Guests may also choose to return to Boteti Tented Safari Lodge instead (no rate reduction applies).

Day 3 · Morning Mokoro safari and return to Maun

Khwai

4 hours

Wake up to the peaceful sounds of Khwai and enjoy a light breakfast as the sun rises over the floodplains. Guests who did not take the mokoro safari the previous afternoon may opt for a morning mokoro excursion on the Mbudi River. On your way back to Maun, enjoy a game drive through the Khwai Community Concession, one of Botswana’s most scenic and wildlife-rich areas.

Explore the riverfront along the Khwai River, where elephants, hippos, and red lechwe are often seen feeding in the shallows. Continue to Dead Tree Island, a striking landscape dotted with skeletal acacias and teemingwith birdlife and predators. Drive onward through the Mogotho area, a favourite among wildlife enthusiasts for its high density of game, and visit the hyena den, a special highlight that offers fascinating insights into the behaviour of these intelligent scavengers.

After an amazing experience in Khwai you will be dropped off at Maun Airport or your preferred drop-off point in Maun.
