BOTSWANA AND NAMIBIA EPIC
A Discoverer Exploration - 14 nights /15 days
Combination lodges, hotel and fully serviced Discoverer camping in private concession areas.
A unique and contrasting combination of two of the most beautiful countries in the world, this Exploration lives up to its name. It explores the wide open spaces of Namibia, taking in the awe-inspiring dunes of Sossusvlei and the Namib Desert, the stark beauty of Damaraland and the wildlife-rich area of Ongava Game Reserve. Guests then enter another world entirely: the waterways and lush green of Xigera in the Okavango Delta, the ephemeral Selinda Spillway linking the Delta and Linyanti, and the Linyanti area itself, famed for its prolific wildlife in a variety of vastly differing habitats. A night at The River Club on the banks of the Zambezi River is a fitting end to a true voyage of exploration.
The activities provide a wide range of differing impressions, from the meandering Okavango Delta channels, the vast white expanses of the Etosha Pans, to hiking and cycling in Damaraland, walking in the Namib's great dunes and the diverse game populations of the Linyanti Reserve.
This safari combines the exclusive superb lodges with the remote locations of private Discoverer campsites and the Adventurer style Xigera Mokoro Trail.
The style of accommodation in the private Discoverer campsites takes you back to the era of Africa's exploration. Pure linens of heavy cottons, brass bucket showers and basins, separate flushing toilets and shower areas all add to the atmosphere, while comforts and amenities are elegantly provided.
Discoverer camps are specifically outfitted to ensure that old-style camping feel with a clear emphasis on necessary and stylish comfortable interiors, creating a peerless wilderness experience.
Adventurer camping (Xigera Mokoro Trails) aims to bring the guest closer to nature, by means of lively campfires, hurricane lanterns, diverse activities and a warm atmosphere permeating the camp (and its simple comforts). Adventurer camps are specifically outfitted to create an authentic camping experience in a remote location, based on essential comforts and pristine wilderness experience.
Guides: The entire safari is guided and hosted by 2 professional trained guides (1 for Namibia and 1 for Botswana), with in-depth knowledge and experienced knowledge that creates an unsurpassed seamless safari experience.
Exclusive experience: Most areas in which we travel are private concessions, with Adventurer and Discoverer campsites being for the sole use of Discoverer Safari guests. At the lodges and hotels en-route we have the chance to meet other guests.
Routes: To maximize guests' travel time, a variety of travel modes that bring out the best of each area is used: flying in air charters and private overland transfers provide both a bird's-eye view and an in-depth experience of the contrasting landscapes of Namibia and Botswana.
