CAMPSITES USED ON SAFARI (BOGA)

These sites are situated within the national parks and game reserves in Botswana and are for exclusive use of licensed professional Botswana operators. The sites are pure wilderness sites, generally in idyllic locations. The are no facilities and camps is totally self-sufficient-we bring our own camping equipment, water, shower ,toilet and food. There is code of conduct for all operators using these sites and they are self maintained, no littering, coals, holes to be left behind. Please note that these areas are unfenced and have no electricity. They offer a wilderness experience uninterrupted and pure, these is the beauty of what Botswana can offer-t, no people, no industrial noise just in the wilderness, open sky where the star shine brightly undimmed by city lights.

Travel Documents

Passports with appropriate visas(be sure to check visa requirements for your nationality when planning your trip and note that for most african countries you require atleast 3 blank pages and more than 6 months validity on your passport and other important documents (kept separate from the original. note that it is important to keep your language to a manageable size when travelling on safari, due to logistical space constraints, generally we recommend you to travel with a soft “duffel “or back pack style bag, with a weight restriction of 12-15kg .Please do not bring hard edged (samsonite)suitcases as they will not fit in the vehicle trailer. This is more importance if you are flying in light aircraft for any stage of your journey. They are very strict for safety and logistical reasons and you are not permitted over 15kg or hard/large suitcases. Should you wish to bring excess luggage please contact us to discuss options.

PRIVATE COMMUNITY SITES

The sites are situated in community areas adjacent to national parks that are classified as photographic wilderness areas. They are similar to the BOGA sites but the rules of the community areas are more flexible than those in game reserve and park-driving Driving is permitted after dark which allows night drives, walking safaris which is permitted within safety parameters-some of these sites offer completely privacy in remote location other sites are in close range to other sites.
