Fri 14 - Sun 23 Jun - Extended Outing to Khwai River, Okavango
Delta, Botswana- Fully booked
 I don’t
believe I have to say much more about this part of the world other than it being one of the most sort after places
to visit. As all the camps in the Botswana National Parks have been privatised and become expensive, we will spend
our time at the community camp on the Khwai River which forms the Northern border the Moremi Game Reserve. The Khwai
river area is undoubtedly the best game viewing area I have ever been to. One can simply sit in your vehicle near
the river under a large tree and watch the animals and birds go about their daily lives. The trail can be done with
“soft-roaders” if they have enough ground clearance and rear diff lock, many river crossings and thick sand
being the only real challenges. Trailers and off-road caravans are also welcome. Duration: 10 Days / 3000km. All
the information about this trip is in the brochure. Please read through it. To book for this event, use
this booking form. For further information please contact me on schaferkt@gmail.com. |

Fri 09 - Mon 12 August - Extended Outing to the Khutse Game
Reserve, Botswana - Fully booked
 Khutse
Game Reserve is the smallest of Botswana's national reserves. Situated at the southern tip of the Central Kalahari
GR, it is set in typical Kalahari pan country and has always been a favourite destinations. This is a real gem in
Botswana's arsenal of national parks - the sheer remoteness, raptors like nowhere else, and (if lucky) more game
than you could wish for. On our trip last year we watched a male lion walk right through the main gate past
reception. his trip is an ideal “long weekend” just a day’s drive from Johannesburg. We will be camping at the
sites closest to the Molose waterhole in the western part of the park. This is a very sought-after area as the water
hole is permanent, and gives the best opportunity to see game and the camp sites also have great views over the
savannahs. This trip is suitable for trailers, the only real obstacle is soft sand. Duration: 4 Days / 3 Nights All
the information about this trip is in the brochure. Please read through it. For further information please
