Large Elephant & Buffalo herds combined with fantastic Big Cat experiences.
Safari Overview
Visit Botswana's top wildlife documentary locations where National Geographic, the BBC and many others have filmed. Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and all the major predators are common in the region. Birdlife is also prolific, with waterfowl and waders being particularly common.

Though the regions in this safari offer a large range of wildlife resources with a wide variety of species, they are most noted for sightings of very large Elephant populations (which can reach enormous densities during the winter months in the Linyanti Wildlife Game Reserve) and for viewing the major predators of the African wilderness: Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Hyena and the highly endangered, African Wild Dog. Another treat is the possibility of finding both species of Rhino - found only in the Mombo concession in Botswana. Mombo is the premier predator capital of Africa, best known for its spectacular Big Cat and Wild Dog sightings. Mombo has been the film setting for famous Cheetah documentaries by major television networks. The Linyanti is famed by National Geographic documentaries for its Lion and Hyena interactions offering remarkable insights to predatorial behavior. Vumbura Plains is one of the newest opened regions in Botswana, allowing access to a remote and well-established wildlife area offering thrilling big game viewing, and possible sightings of Cheetah and Leopard stalking prey on the open savannah plains.

" Safari accommodation features three of the most luxurious camps in Botswana, featuring Kings Pool Camp, Mombo Camp and the newly built Vumbura Plains Camp.. "
