Owner-run camps with an independent spirit
Your key to Authentic, accessible safari experiences in Botswana
Connect with our Ethos
Creating memorable safari experiences begins with the heart - and there’s no greater expression of that than in an owner-run camp. Our camps are born from personal vision, resulting in places with real personality, soul, and story. These are not just safari camps - they are labours of love, carefully built and personally led by people that live and breathe the Botswana bush.
​
We champion owner-operated camps because they offer something rare: authenticity. Through this model, we are able to assemble passionate teams who know the land intimately and who share their lived experience with every guest.​​ It’s not just about seeing wildlife - it’s about connecting with Botswana’s rich culture, its generous hospitality, and its deep-rooted commitment to preserving the Okavango Delta.​
With thoughtfully curated experiences and a team that anticipates every detail, we make safaris both immersive and accessible. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, we want you to feel completely at home in our care - safe, inspired, and transformed by the wildnerness around you.
