"Botswana Meru Overland Safaris"

The discomfort of a safari in Botswana is part of the attraction. Most of the roads we use are sandy tracks, and at times it can be hot and dusty! The rewards are harder to describe. To watch the sun set over the Okavango, to spot the elusive leopard, or witness a herd of elephants come to the river at dusk, to sit around a campfire listening to the African night, these are the rewards; memories that will serve you well in the great, crowded cities of the world.
If you must see a “wish list” of animals, then retire with the crowd to a glass and concrete hotel in the bush,
these safaris are not for you. But if you want to leave the world behind and enjoy some traditional African hospitality, we would like to have you along.

Tailor Made Safaris:
From the empty reaches of the Kalahari Desert to the crystal clear waters of the Okavango,
and from a couple wishing to enjoy a flying safari staying at luxurious camps
with just a professional guide for company; to larger groups who want to visit multiple countries,
we can outfit your safari. Where ever you would like to go, for however long
you would like to be there; draw on our experience to help you choose the ‘holiday of a lifetime’.

What to Bring:
For ease of stowing, soft duffel bags are preferable. Bags should not exceed 20kg.
A laundry service is provided at camps when water is readily available.
A good torch (flashlight) with spare batteries per person.
A pair of covered walking shoes and a pair of sandals or ‘Tevas.’
The temperature in Botswana can range from very hot in the middle of the day
(35 deg C + in summer), to ice cold at night (0 deg C in winter).
European or North American summer clothing is appropriate but try to keep the colours neutral
(khakis and greens are best). If you are traveling during June, July, August bring a track suit
and a warm jacket for those early morning game drives and brisk nights too.
Personal toiletries and a swim suit.
One pair of binoculars per person is recommended, and if you plan on bringing a camera, be warned!
Its better to take unexposed film home than to run out. Bring twice as much as you think you will need.
Last, but most important, you should bring a sense of adventure, and a willingness to get involved!
