After breakfast, you can get your things ready for your mobile-tented safari. You will be met and briefed by your guide at the reception area. You will cover a large distance over the next few days with extensive game drives most of the days.

An area of contrasts, Moremi is a magical mix of winding waterways with a peninsula of dry land referred to as the ‘Mopane Tongue’. The mopane trees thrive in this area, boasting excellent density and diversity of animal viewing, including the all-exciting leopard sightings.
A picnic-style lunch will be served along the way at a safe spot. Most of the afternoon will be spent driving to look for animals and interesting sights.
After a long, but always exciting day, you will make your way late in the afternoon to your campsite for the night.

Rising at the crack of dawn, you will wake up to the sounds of birdcalls near and far. As you step out of your tent, you will be greeted by friendly faces and a freshly brewed cup of tea or coffee. A delicious, cooked breakfast will be prepared to provide energy for the day ahead.
Today we'll embark on our final game drive, returning to our wonderful base camp positioned right beside the stunning Boteti River. During, or just after breakfast, your ranger/guide will speak to you and determine what you would still like to experience and what animals you would still like to encounter so that he could make a conscious effort in doing so on the way back towards our base camp.
The expected arrival back at base camp (Boteti Tented Safari Lodge) will be in the mid-afternoon.
Dinner will be served in the dining area or the boma, after which you can relax next to the fire, or retire to your room for a peaceful night’s rest.
