SECRETS OF BOTSWANA
17 - 26 Sep 2021
Bundutec guided self-drive adventure
With a full 38% of its total land area devoted to national parks, reserves and wildlife management areas – for the most part unfenced, allowing animals to roam wild and free – travel through many parts of the country has the feeling of moving through an immense Nature wonderland.The first – and most lasting impressions – will be of vast expanses of uninhabited wilderness stretching from horizon to horizon, the sensation of limitless space, astoundingly rich wildlife and bird viewing, night skies littered with stars, and stunning sunsets of unearthly beauty
Programme
Depart Gauteng and drive Via Alldays to the Pontdrift Border Post where we cross into Botswana’s famous Tuli Wilderness. Overnight in an unfenced camp on the banks of the Limpopo river. Camping with ablutions.
Depart from The Tuli Wilderness, and drive via Francistown to the Makgadikgadi Pans. Mystical Lekhubu (Kubu) Island is our overnight destination. It is extremely difficult to describe the atmosphere that enfolds this vast expanse of 12 000 square km of nothingness, the subtle hues at sunset that change the landscape into a wonderland of surrealistic beauty. Camping with very limited ablutions.
We depart early morning, as we have to cross the huge Ntwetwe pan and extensive grasslands on our route. This is a spectacular, but very dusty drive. Our destination is Planet Baobab close to Gweta. Planet Baobab has the biggest, coolest swimming pool in the Kalahari. Camping with facilities
We will depart and drive the A3 tar road to Maun where we will stock up for the next three days of wilderness camping. There will be time this afternoon to take a scenic flight over the Okavango Delta (own cost) Camping at Audi Camp or similar
We will camp along one of the tributaries of the Khwai river on the eastern areas of the Okavango,boasting one of the most diverse and richest ecosystems on the continent. This makes for spectacular game viewing and bird watching, including all major naturally occurring herbivore and carnivore species in the region (including Lechwe and Sitatunga), and over 400 species of birds …… Wilderness camping – no ablutions
Depart fro this paradise, make our way back to Maun from where we will hit the main tar road back to Gweta and further east to Nata. Camping with facilities
Depart Nata, and drive via Francistown, Selibe Pikwe and Bobonong back to the Tuli Wilderness.Tonight we will enjoy a sit-down 3 x course dinner under millions of stars in the wilderness! Camping with ablutions
