What to know before entering the wild.

Still unsure about something? Our Maun team will answer questions specific to your route and travel dates.

01Are your safaris private?+

Most Safari Addicts journeys are designed privately around your party, with a dedicated guide and safari vehicle. Solo travellers may sometimes be paired when travel dates and interests align.

02What is the mobile camp like?+

Our fully serviced mobile camp uses spacious Sahara Grand tents with proper beds, linen, lighting and private ensuite eco-toilet and bucket-shower facilities. A chef and camp team prepare meals and manage camp.

03How many guests fit in a safari vehicle?+

Our open Land Cruiser safari vehicles have up to seven guest seats. Vehicle arrangements may be reduced for comfort, photography or the needs of a private group.

04What is a typical day on safari like?+

A typical day begins before sunrise with tea or coffee and a light snack, followed by an early-morning game drive when wildlife is most active. You return to camp for brunch and time to rest during the heat of the day. Afternoon tea is followed by another game drive, often ending with a sundowner in the bush. Back at camp, you can freshen up before dinner around the fire. The exact rhythm remains flexible according to wildlife sightings, weather and your interests.

05What happens when we move between destinations?+

On a moving day, you have an early breakfast before departing in the safari vehicle. The journey is part of the experience, with wildlife viewing and photographic stops along the way, plus a picnic lunch when required. Our camp team packs the mobile camp and travels ahead separately so they can prepare your next camp. Driving times vary with distance, road conditions and sightings, and you will normally reach the new destination in the afternoon with time to settle in before the next activity or dinner.

06Are meals and park fees included?+

The inclusions shown on each confirmed quotation normally cover the guide, safari vehicle, mobile camp, camp team, meals, drinking water, stated activities and applicable park and camping fees. Your final quotation is the controlling document.

07Can I charge my phone and camera?+

Yes. The mobile camp provides a charging system using an inverter, battery and solar panel. Bring your own charging cables, camera-battery charger and suitable travel adapters.

08Are mokoro and boat activities always available?+

Water activities depend on seasonal flood levels, local conditions and safety. When an activity cannot operate, the guide will recommend the best available alternative.

09Do you offer night drives?+

Night drives are available in permitted areas such as Khwai. They are not conducted inside Moremi Game Reserve, where park regulations apply.

10What should I pack?+

Bring neutral-coloured layers, a warm jacket for early drives, a sun hat, sunscreen, comfortable closed shoes, binoculars, personal medication and soft-sided luggage. Avoid bright colours and camouflage clothing.

11When is the best time to visit Botswana?+

Botswana is rewarding year-round. The dry season generally offers concentrated wildlife near permanent water, while the green season brings dramatic skies, young animals, birds and seasonal zebra movement.

12Do I need travel insurance?+

Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended. It should cover cancellation, medical treatment, evacuation, delayed travel and your personal belongings.
