What to Expect
Travel will be mostly by small charter aircraft as well as and game-drive vehicles. Game drives can be long and strenuous and over bumpy surfaces. For most activities, a relatively moderate level of exertion is required.
Travelers should be aware that most nights on safari are spent in deluxe tented accommodations. These tents are en suite and are designed to the highest standards, with hot and cold running water and shower outlets in the adjoining bathroom area. You will find the tents spacious with plenty of headroom. All of the safari camps we visit have separate lounge and bar areas that often overlook waterways, which adds to the excitement and ambiance of being in the bush. It should be noted, however, that there are no fences around the camps, and animals of all sizes are sometimes encountered within the camp boundaries.
We will be in Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia during the summer season. Temperatures are generally pleasant with ranges from 75°F - 85°F in Namibia and Botswana during the day, but nights are much cooler. Temperatures in Zambia will be on average 10°F cooler overall. There may be precipitation, especially in Zambia, so you’ll want to pack accordingly. We will mail a complete list of recommended clothing and a suggested reading list to you approximately five months prior to departure.
A safari to these three countries represents some of the best diversity Africa has to offer. Those travelers who possess a sense of humor, flexibility, and a true spirit of adventure will remember their time there for many years.
