{"product_id":"botswana","title":"Botswana: The Last Great Safari Wilderness","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBotswana is not one safari landscape. It is floodplain, river, private wilderness, desert and salt pan, each revealing wildlife in a completely different way. One moment you are moving through Khwai’s lagoons and woodland, watching elephants, buffalo, big cats and wild dogs shape the rhythm of the day. The next, you are deeper in the Okavango, where water, reeds, islands and open plains decide what the bush reveals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eJoin multi award-winning wildlife photographer Martin Gregus on a 12-night journey through three of Natural Selection’s most distinctive Botswana camps: Sable Alley, Duke’s East and Jack’s Camp. This expedition moves from Khwai Private Reserve into the northern Okavango Delta, then finishes among the surreal desert horizons of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAt Sable Alley, the focus is classic Botswana wildlife. Game drives search for lion, leopard, cheetah, African wild dog, buffalo, elephant, antelope and exceptional birdlife. Depending on water levels, mokoro trips, boat safaris and guided walks reveal the reserve from a slower, lower perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFrom there, the journey moves to Duke’s East, an intimate under-canvas camp in the northern Okavango Delta. Days are shaped by water levels and wildlife movement, with game drives, mokoro, boating, night drives and time in the field with expert local guides.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe final chapter is Jack’s Camp in the Makgadikgadi, a landscape that feels almost lunar. This is the remnant of an ancient super-lake, now a place of salt pans, desert wildlife, habituated meerkats, San bushman walks and, seasonally, one of Africa’s great zebra and wildebeest migrations. It is open, strange, cinematic and unlike any other safari setting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWith Martin beside you, this becomes more than a luxury Botswana safari. It is a chance to learn how to read behaviour, wait for light, understand movement and create images across three wildly different ecosystems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwelve nights. Three Natural Selection camps. Khwai, Okavango and Makgadikgadi. Big cats, wild dogs, desert wildlife and Delta waterways. Limited to just 8 guests. Botswana, seen with the patience it deserves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Airguides25","offers":[{"title":"18 May - 30 May 2027 (Confirmed) \/ Pay in Full","offer_id":49140792623356,"sku":null,"price":33000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 May - 30 May 2027 (Confirmed) \/ Pay Deposit","offer_id":49140792656124,"sku":null,"price":3750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/2662\/3740\/files\/07_Makgadikgadi_-_Lioness.jpg?v=1779950237","url":"https:\/\/airguides.com\/products\/botswana","provider":"Airguides","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
