Gondwana Tours & Safaris - Sango Camp (Okavango Delta)
From a price-value and game viewing point of view, Sango Camp in the Okavango Delta of Botswana is hard to beat! Being located on a private concession, visiting Sango Camp allows you to go off-road during game drives and also enjoy night drives, to follow nocturnal animals. The game viewing in the Khwai Concession is amongst the best in the Okavango Delta. However this community run concession is open to the public and you will encounter other visitors on game drives.
The tents are large, but set quite close to each other, which is not really a negative point here, but something we like to mention. Sango is amongst our favourite camps in the Okavango Delta, with top game viewing all year around. A visit to the nearby Village Khwai and his 400 odd souls is one of the most authentic cultural experiences one can get in Botswana.
2 days in Maun, Botswana. An amazing African adventure
I had the great pleasure of visiting the wonderful country of Botswana. It is such a welcoming country with friendly people, amazing wildlife and superb attractions.
I got to spend two wonderful days in the northern village of Maun on the Okavango Delta where you can glide through pristine waterways on a morkoro and observe wildlife in its natural habitat.
I went on a midday game walk which meant there were less animals to see as many were sleeping, hidden from the harsh midday sun. But I still got to see zebra, hippos, donkeys, cows, crocodiles, spotted tree frogs, wilderbeest, and deer. And I had a sip of the sweet Okavango waters.
I stayed at the Old Bridge Backpackers ( and it was a magical place to stay. Great tent. Excellent bar. Good food. And a mighty big fig tree to laze under by the river and daydream.
I can't wait to get back to Africa. I love it!

Driving Botswana - 2011
This is the story of the 3,658 Km long journey from Windhoek, Namibia, to Chobe National Park, in Botswana, Victoria Falls, in Zimbabwe, Nxai Pan and Drotsky's Cave, in Botswana and back to Windhoek.
Although, the journey started on the wrong foot because of a transit visa and ended up being affected by Hurricane Irene, it provided beautiful moments in the wilderness of the Ngamiland-Kalahari, Moremi and Chobe.
There were also joyful moments while bunjee jumping (28:16) at Victoria Falls and whitewater rafting (33:19) on the mighty Zambezi.
A stop at the Boma, in Victoria Falls, and Joe's Beerhouse, in Windhoek, brought quite a bit of fun to the trip..:)

Bushways Botswana Camping Safari: Chobe | Moremi | Khwai | Highlights Bush Ways
Eindrücke unserer Fully Serviced Camping Safari mit Bush Ways Safaris im nördlichen Botswana. Die Buchung erfolgte durch die sehr kompetenten und empfehlenswerten Experten bei Outback Africa Erlebnisreisen in Bad Elster, die auch per Telefon und Email eine ausgezeichnete Beratung bieten.
Die Camping Safari läuft unter der Bezeichnung BWFS (Bushways Fully Serviced) als Southbound oder Northbound je nach Reiserichtung. Wir waren als Southbound von Kasane nach Maun unterwegs: Die Reise beginnt in Kasane mit einer Boots-Safari auf dem Chobe River, anschließend geht es für zwei Nächte entlang des Flussufers, weiter nach Savuti / Zwezwe tiefer im Chobe Nationalpark bis nach Moremi und Khwai.
Von dort flogen wir mit einem Buschflugzeug in eines der privaten Reservate, viele Gäste nutzen den Abschluss im benachbarten Okavango Delta. Die gesamte Safari ist fully serviced, es muss also am gesamten Camping-Betrieb nicht mitgewirkt werden. Zelte werden samt Feldbetten und eigener Buschtoilette und Dusche vom Personal errichtet und abgebaut, das Essen sowie alle Einrichtungen werden ebenfalls ohne eigenes Zutun installiert. Outback Africa inkludiert die Bushways Camping Safari zum Beispiel in die exklusive Reise Botswanas Tierparadiese und ergänzt diese mit einem Aufenthalt an den Victoria Falls oder einer Verlängerung in der Kalahari.

Botswana Travel | Best Places to Visit in Botswana,Okavango Delta
Botswana has a huge advantage over the rest of the world when it comes to attracting tourists: the wildlife. The array of animals that reside in or pass through the country is phenomenal. Ranging from endangered animals such as wild dogs and rhinos to the numerous and thriving bird life that inhabits the area.
The natural landscapes are impressive too from the vast and imposing Kalahari Desert to the sublime serenity of the Okavango Delta. The terrain here can feel vast and empty in some areas or dense and teeming with life in others but it is always a thing of beauty. The landscape is at once recognizable as African and will live up to all of your pre-trip expectations.
1. Okavango Delta
The Okavango Delta is one of the most inspiring and awe-inspiring wilderness locations in Africa, if not the entire planet. The Delta is a truely unspoiled wilderness with terrain ranging from dry grasslands to swamps. Safaris and game watching are the most popular activities in the park and possible animals to be sighted include cheetahs, zebra, giraffes, elephants, crocodiles and rhinos to name only a few. Trips should be properly planned because, although the terrain here is always stunning, the seasons can dramatically effect your chances of seeing certain animals.
2. Moremi Game Reserve
Voted the best game reserve in the African continent in 2008, this park has a lot going for it. It is the first reserve that was solely founded by local residents who were growing ever more concerened about natural and man-made threats to the local enviroment and wildlife. Situated on the east side of the Okavango Delta, the reserve offers some of the most stunning scenery in the country and boasts an equally impressive ecosystem. Many tourists choose to visit the park by self-drive campervan but the park also has a number of great campsites.
3.Maun
Maun is often used by tourists as a stepping stone for the Okavango Delta but it has enough about it to merit a few nights stay. The hotels, restaurants and tourist amenities here are some of the best in the country, largely due to the fact that the city is the main tourist stop in the country. Whilst the town itself does not have much going for it, it still attracts a wide range of people from luxury safari travelers to volounteers. There are some great campsites that are located by the river, providing a great place to stay for a few nights.
4. Gaborone
The city of Gaborone is the largest in Botswana and also its capital. The modern buildings of Gaborone set against the tropical backdrops of this African nation are an unusual sight and despite its size, there are not too many reasons to visit the city. The large residential areas are supplemented by a few decent hotels and restaurants. The modern feel of the city is reinforced by its lack of history but it is certainly paving the way for the countries future and for this reason it is a good place to experience the vibe of 21st Century Botswana.
5.Chobe National Park
This game reserve is the third largest in Botswana but it has one of the largest concentrations of rare game animals in the continent of Africa. The national park takes its name from the Chobe River which, at first glance is guaranteed to take your breathe away. As well as being a beautiful sight, the river supports an ecosystem of rare and exotic creatures including birds, elephants, lions, giraffes, baboons and buffalo. During the winter season it is possible to see a herd of hundreds of elephants at a time; a truely once in a lifetime experience.
