Rest in Lush Gardens and a Quaint Cottage Feel Near the Victoria Falls
Bayete Guest House is located just three kilometers from the heart of the town of Victoria Falls. More than a mile wide, the falls boasts impressive statistics. This relatively small, well-managed family-run guest house offers convenience and guidance to help travelers make the most of an area that can often feel overwhelming for its dizzying range of options. Vic Falls is a hub for adventure travelers with a seemingly innumerable array of adrenaline activities centering around the Falls and the Zambezi River. Besides viewing it from the adjacent national park, there are several way to grasp the grandeur of Victoria Falls. A helicopter flight above it and the staggered canyons, a rafting trip through the mighty rapids below, bungee jumping and gorge swinging—not to mention the host of cultural experiences to be had in outlying areas, as well as decent wildlife regions nearby. Bayete is well-connected and can assist you in organizing any of the fifty or so activities on offer.

Enjoy a River Front Guesthouse Near Chobe National Park
This family-run guesthouse might not be in the middle of the bush but it certainly occupies unique territory, stationed between true wilderness and civilized living. Elephants, warthogs and bushbucks are regularly seen roaming the dusty streets of Kasane, just a twenty minute drive to the Chobe entrance gate. It offers attentive, down-to-earth hospitality with a personal touch. The Old House is a convenient home base from which to explore Chobe National Park on a morning or afternoon activity or a full-day adventure. River cruises take place directly from camp on a double decker boat; they can be as relaxing as they can be productive (for game viewing). Take a day trip to the town of Victoria Falls to witness this spectacular wonder and walk its colonial streets. Canoe down the Chobe River on a three-hour excursion for a closer experience of the river's flora and fauna.

On the Edge of Botswana's Moremi Game Reserve at a Great Value Lodge
Khwai Guest House offers guests a range of safari options—from self-catering and self-drives to a full-board, guided experience. With just six chalets, it is an intimate camp where travelers can choose to come and go as they wish. The restaurant is known to serve a hearty, delicious fare or supplement your own cooking with a meal from its creative kitchen. You can elect to do various activities from three-hour game drives in the Khwai or Moremi Game Reserves, to full day excursions. If you are not driving yourself, activities should be booked in advance to ensure availability. During the flood season, gliding along its shallow channels via mokoro is a must. Night drives can also be rewarding though highly variable. If you're interested in learning a bit about the people of Botswana, this is one of the better-connected camps in the region, offering a glimpse into the traditions and modern living conditions of local people.

Experience Okavango Delta the Wildest Way
Oddball's offers two very different experiences: staying in a very basic, potentially busy base camp (Oddball's), or taking the plunge into the surrounding wilderness on a mokoro, for a truly rustic, private experience of untamed Africa. The camp best serves as a jumping off point for the overnight mokoro trails, offering little else in terms of luxury or other activities. Although there are no motorised activities on offer, you're spoiled by having your own local, private guide. Typically, activities take place in the early morning and late afternoon, but if you're keen on a whole day outing, the team will happily pack a picnic lunch for you. The focus is on exploring the channels and lagoons in a mokoro and the islands on foot. You may also visit your guide's village, Sedibana, and meet his family. The best option at Oddball's is to do a multi-day mokoro trail, camping out in the wilderness with your guide. They'll provide everything you need except for a sleeping bag.
