Uncharted Expedition Camp

The camp holds true to the ideals of safari legend Jack Bousfield’s original camps, so instead of frills and fluff, you'll discover some serious style and comfort. In the mess tent, sink into slouchy leather sofas with a book, or pull up a canvas chair and settle down for a siesta and wildlife watching. Sumptuous three-course dinners cooked on the fire are enjoyed under the stars, accompanied by the finest wines and the freshest of bread (baked in the ground!).

Abandon your ideas of two-person dome tents and cold showers - this is mobile camping in serious style! The 1920s-style bedroom tents are traditional and spacious, and blend bygone comfort with rugged panache. Polished copper water jugs and paraffin lamps are scattered around, and crisp cotton sheets and comfortable feather bedding ensure a deep sleep. Bathroom-wise, all are en-suite with flush loos, and showers replicate those of the early pioneers – a bucket of hot water, warmed on the fire.

Game drive across the plains, admiring the Okavango's iconic scenery and wildlife, or drift along the maze of waterways in a traditional mokoro. Walking safaris reveal the finer details of the landscape, from the ecology of the waters to the most important components of the ecosystem. All the guides here are qualified biologists, with a minimum of two years guiding experience in the Kalahari, and their knowledge of this pristine wilderness is unrivalled.
