Luxury Treehouse Safari to Botswana LuxVenture®

On arrival at Maun International Airport, you will enjoy a VIP meet & greet before embarking on a 50-minute light aircraft flight through to a local airstrip in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. There are very few other flights that arrive or depart from this intimate airstrip, so you are assured of an exclusive arrival. From the airstrip you will enjoy a short 20-minute 4WD scenic game drive into the heart of the Kalahari to Jack’s Camp. This camp is old-world safari glamor at its finest offering a unique safari experience from discovering local artifacts to learning about the region’s rare and rich geology. Upon arrival, you will be awestruck by the breathtaking views across the Salt Pan. After settling into your luxurious tent and helping yourself to a refreshing beverage from the well-stocked drinks chest, you can spend time exploring the renowned Natural History Museum or camp library. Over the next 2 nights you will enjoy a myriad of enriching activities. A highlight will surely be watching the playful colonies of meerkats surrounding the camp and the morning walks with the local Bushmen trackers. You can also spend your downtime relaxing in the swimming pool pavilion.

After your morning game activity and a al carte breakfast at the camp, then take a short transfer back to the local airstrip. From here board a light aircraft flight through to the local airstrip close to your next destination – Tuludi Camp. Upon arrival at the Khwai Private Reserve, you will be collected by the lodge staff and then transfer to Tuludi Camp. For your next 3 nights enjoy the fantastic surroundings with the various game activities that are on offer. Tuludi offers luxury accommodation and each suite has its own private plunge pool. It opened in July 2019 and has over 200 000 hectares of pristine wilderness.

In the morning, you will enjoy a morning game experience. Thereafter transfer back to the local airstrip before boarding a light aircraft flight to a private concession in the northern Okavango Delta, renowned for its game-rich plains. The brand new and exclusive Duke’s Camp is located on the shores of a permanent lagoon so you are finishing on a high with unparalleled game viewing and extraordinary views between the camp’s indigenous leadwood and ebony trees. As the sun sets, flickering lanterns come alive to guide you along the raised wooden platform to your luxurious tent. Though Duke’s Camp is open all year round, you will only be able to partake in mokoro and boat activities from April to October. Exceptional land-based game viewing occurs all year with large herds of elephants and plains game making their way across the crystalline waters. During the warmer summer months we highly recommend guided bush walks, as well as spending some time enjoying the over 440 bird species that call this region of the Delta home. Night game drives are also on offer, allowing you to view remarkable nocturnal carnivores including serval and caracal. This is the ultimate lodge for this safari to Botswana.

Enjoy a morning game activity followed by a delicious breakfast in the dining room. In the late afternoon, you will be whisked away by private transfer to the Duke’s Camp star bed sky suite. You will arrive at the Sky Suite just in time for a sundowner as the sun sets. Dinner will be served as a delicious picnic with a wide variety of gourmet eats and refreshing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages of your choice. After dinner, relax around your very own private fireplace before curling up with the warm blankets. Spend the night beneath a canopy of millions of stars blanketing the African sky. This is the epitome of unbridled romance and beauty.

Where you’ll stay: Sky Suite (treehouse)

Sleep in a comfortable 4-poster canopy king-size bed, with a private bathroom set on a spacious open platform with your own wooden deck for extensive views of the surrounding wildlife. You’ll have nothing but the sounds of nature and the slight breeze in the giant leadwood trees to lull you to sleep.
