Our Okavango-Kalahari trip is quite popular.  The 16 spaces on this intimate trip typically sell out quite quickly. Our 2025 trip sold out 10 days after we opened it up for bookings.  Our 2026 trips (2 of them) sold out within  5 days and 21 days respectively. 

Our April 2027 trip was opened up for bookings on the 15th of October (2 weeks ago) and 10 spaces have already been booked, leaving only 6 available spaces.  

Why is this trip so popular?  Here are some of the reasons:

1) It's designed AND led by Dr. Karen Ross - "The Champion of the Okavango" according to one National Geographic article.  Karen did her Ph.D. in wildlife ecology and spent 30 years of her life working on conservation issues in the Okavango.  You could hardly find anyone more qualified to design and join you on this trip. 

2) Small group:  The three lodges we use in Botswana (Okavango panhandle, Okavango delta, northern Kalahari) cater to 16 people only. Your time in these unique ecosystems will be very intimate.  You will most often see no other safari vehicle but your own as you explore remote nooks and crannies of expansive landscapes, on the lookout for all kinds of wildlife.  

3) No cutting corners on comfort:  We've chosen to work with the most comfortable safari lodges in Botswana, ensuring that after a long day out on game drives, you'll have a very comfortable home to return to and you'll enjoy wonderful meals.   

4) Four UNESCO World Heritage sites:  We worked to include four such sites in your itinerary:

• Cape Floral Region Protected Areas around Cape Town, South Africa
• Mosi-oa-Tunya/Victoria Falls, in Zimbabwe
• Tsodilo Hills in Botswana
• Okavango Delta in Botswana

Each has been recognized by the international community for their outstanding natural and/or cultural heritage considered of importance to all of humanity.  If you care to arrive a day early, you can also include Robben Island World Heritage site in Cape Town - where Nelson Mandela spent many years incarcerated.
