CAMPING IN THE AFRICAN WILDERNESS

Immerse yourself in the unspoiled splendor of Botswana with a mobile camping safari. Embark on an expedition deep into the heart of Africa, where you’ll pitch camp beneath a breathtaking expanse of stars. Listen to the captivating sounds of the wilderness as you rest in your tent at night, perhaps even catching a glimpse of an elephant passing through. Travel light and embrace the thrill of journeying from one destination to another each day. As dusk falls, come together around the campfire to share tales and forge unforgettable memories. This genuine adventure is tailored for both avid photographers and enthusiasts seeking an immersive experience amidst Africa’s untamed landscapes and wildlife.

 

Bush Ways offers two distinct styles of mobile camping safaris: ‘adventure camping,’ where guests participate by putting up and taking down their tent, and ‘premium camping,’ a more indulgent experience where every aspect of camping is expertly managed by dedicated staff.
