A camping safari through the African bush evokes a real spirit of exploration. Every day will spring surprises on you. Every evening produces a campfire around which to reflect whilst being immersed in an orchestra of night sounds.
There are very few places left where you can travel around for days in an environment that is largely unaffected by human development. Botswana does have large and diverse tracts of protected land, set aside as wildlife reserves and national parks. Visitors to Botswana are able to get a good feel of the wild Africa described by early explorers.
From our Okavango Island base an hour drive (or 20 minute helicopter ride) from Maun, Shangana Safaris has the perfect platform from which to explore many of the treasures Botswana has to offer.
