Itinerary Summary

Limited Participation:  An essential part of your safari is participation. From putting up your tent to packing the truck in the morning - it's all part of your adventure. Your tour leaders will do all the meal prepartion but we do ask the clients to help (on rotation) with the washing up. There are some long travel days which means early morning starts so we all need to get involved to make the day run efficiently.

Botswana is considered Southern Africa’s premier game viewing destination. The remote wilderness, limited access for visitors and abundant game make for an exceptional wildlife safari. This tour is the essence of why we started Sunway.

Day 1 JOHANNESBURG to KHAMA RHINO SANCTUARY   [camping -LD] [B = Breakfast, L = Lunch, D = Dinner] Departing Johannesburg at 06:30am we head north into Botswana. We pass Serowe, birthplace of Botswana’s first president, Sir Seretse Khama, on our way to the Khama Rhino Sanctuary. This 4300 hectare reserve situated on the Kalahari sandveld, has several natural waterholes and provides prime habitat for white rhino, zebra and wildebeest. We take our first game drive around the open grassland of Malema and Serowe Pans.

Day 2 MAUN   [camping BL-] We drive through the Kalahari to Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta. Situated on the banks of the Thamalakane River, Maun is a bustling frontier town where we prepare for the delta excursion. After setting up camp we have a relaxing afternoon at the swimming pool.

Day 3, 4, 5 OKAVANGO DELTA   [camping Bx3, Lx3, Dx2] Our local guides will take us deep into the heart of the Okavango Delta on Mokoro (dugout canoes). The delta forms as water flows from the Angolan highlands out over the Botswanan flat Kalahari Desert sands creating a delicate, green oasis for birds & wildlife. We will camp wild on remote islands in this amazingly dynamic environment & enjoy bush walks, bird watching & swimming in the clear water. Camping with our local guides we learn more about their lifestyle & culture. We return to Maun in the late afternoon of day 5 and have time for an optional (own expense) game flight over the Okavango, which will reveal a different aspect of the delta.

Day 6 – 9 MOREMI & SAVUTI   [camping BLD] We have 4 nights in these conservation areas with time to explore the various habitats. We spend our time on game drives watching the plentiful wildlife including wild dog, elephant, hippo, buffalo, lion & other game.

Moremi Game Reserve rates as one of the leading wildlife areas of the world and we take our open 4WD vehicle into Moremi for fantastic game viewing! Grasslands, floodplains, forests, lily lagoons and winding water channels combine to form a variety of game viewing habitats.

Moving north over the sand ridge and into the Mababe depression we arrive at the Savuti Marsh. This open grassland area attracts herds of zebra and wildebeest, which in turn draw the large lion prides for which Savuti is famous. We camp wild in the central Chobe National Park at either Savuti or Zwei-Zwei.

Day 10 – 11 CHOBE NATIONAL PARK   [camping Bx2 Lx2 Dx1] The Chobe River flows lazily along the northern boundary of the Chobe National Park attracting some of the largest herds of elephant in Africa. In the early morning we search for game on the flood plains of the Chobe river. The late afternoon game viewing “sundowner” cruise is a highlight as we see the mighty elephant herds returning to the Chobe River to quench their thirst. We camp at Kasane on the Chobe River for night 11.

Day 12 – 13 VICTORIA FALLS / LIVINGSTONE   [lodge Bx2 - -] Overnight for 2 nights in Zambia near Livingstone town on the banks of the Zambezi River. Enjoy a spectacular walk through tropical vegetation to the very edge of the “Mosi oa Tunya” or “the smoke that thunders” - Victoria Falls. Opportunities to white water raft on the mighty Zambezi River, bungi jump, or take a “flight of angels” (own expense).

Day 14 LIVINGSTONE – TOUR ENDS   [- B - -] Tour ends at 08:00 after breakfast. Transfers to local airports are available.

[Remember it is possible to start this tour in Maun on day 2, making a 13 day Maun - Livingstone, BT13, and it is possible to start this tour in Maun on day 5, making a 10 day Maun - Livingstone, BP10]

This tour departs at 06h30 from the pre-tour accommodation hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa. You will therefore need to fly into OR Tambo International airport (JNB) in Johannesburg the day before the tour starts. (Depending on your flight arrival time, you can book an own expense, optional afternoon excursion to either SOWETO or Maropeng, bookable and payable on arrival in Johannesburg.)

The tour ends at approximately 08h00 after breakfast at the campsite in Livingstone, Zambia. You can therefore book your outbound flight from Livingstone Airport, Zambia (LVI) for the last day of the tour. (You can also book an outbound flight from Victoria Falls Airport, Zimbabwe, VFA but this may require a visa into Zimbabwe).

• Responsible Tourism

The Khama Rhino Sanctuary Trust is a community based wildlife project established in 1992. Land was set aside outside the town of Serowe with the aims (i) to save the vanishing rhino, (ii) restore an area formerly teeming with wildlife to its previous natural state and (iii) provide economic benefits to the local Motswana community through tourism and the sustainable use of natural resources.

Khama Sanctuary not only provides work opportunities for the local community, but also a sense of pride as they help protect a threatened species.

We accept children 12-18 with accompanying adults on scheduled tours (for private groups we can accept younger children).

If the clients are older than 65 years, then we require a medical certificate too (stating client is fit and healthy to embark on a multi-day tour covering long distances etc)

THE BEST TIME TO VISIT BOTSWANA

Botswana is centrally located in Southern Africa and has a sub-tropical climate. Largely Kalahari Desert, there are sizeable differences between the day and night temperatures and being a semi-desert environment, very limited rainfall. In the Delta temperatures are more moderate due to the abundance of water. The Okavango Delta provides a lifeline of water in the desert as the summer rains fall in Angola and take 6 months to arrive in the Okavango. Thus the Okavango Delta is actually expanding as the surrounding desert dries out through winter. This phenomenon creates an incredible wildlife spectacle all year round.

Dry season is from May to October : The game viewing is superb and wildlife is very easy to spot.

May :- Autumn temperatures are typically 10°C/50°F to 28°C/80°F.

June, July & August :- Winter morning game drives can be cold at around 6°C/42°F, but it warms to +-25°C/78°F, so dress in layers with a windproof jacket and beanie.

September & October :- Spring begins and temperatures warm up to +- 34°C/100°F. October is the hottest month in Botswana and the migration of the Southern Carmine Bee-eaters is a sight to behold and a must-see for this time of year.

Green season is from November to April : The intermittent rains bring much needed relief to the bushveld, many antelope have their young, and the world around you is brimming with new life. The rains also settle the dust, and the sunlight provides gorgeous photographic opportunities.

November & December :- As the clouds build up this time is typically cooler than October at between 20°C/69°F and 33°C/91°F but there can still be some very hot days. After the first rains the roads can become muddy in places!

January & February :- The Summer or "Green" months, have occasional spectacular thunderstorms in the afternoons. Temperatures are around 32°C/90°F at midday.

March and April :- The waters of the Okavango Delta start to rise and large herds of elephant and buffalo begin to make their way back to the Okavango as winter approaches. Lovely, clear weather and few clouds prevail, but the nights are cooler and the days very comfortable at around 30°C/87°F.

Marek - Aug23

Dear Sunway Safaris, yesterday we returned home from our Botswana Wildside Camping tour. I would like to thank you for the unforgettable trip. I consider myself a bit of an experienced safari lover, this tour was my 7th safari in Africa and by far the best one. Everything was just perfect: great schedule, awesome animal sightings, perfect guides and overall experience. Our guides Gee, Ngande and Coolcoe were awesome and highly professional. They were so helpful and friendly, and managed to keep the whole tour going forward without any hiccups. Cooking by Gee was unbelievable - he was able to feed 15 people with such tasty food in the middle of the wilderness. The Okavango experience was so great and wild camping in Moremi was just awesome. Savuti and Chobe were also amazing. The whole trip did not have a single weak point! My wife said to me that she will not go to Africa again, because nothing can be better. I am now browsing your webpages, trying to figure out which will be my next safari. Thank you so much for the best safari in my life! Best Regards, Marek.

Richard - Aug23

Just wanted to thank you for everything you did in organising the amazing Botswana Wildlife camping safari that I have just returned from. It was a fantastic experience due mainly to the superb team comprising of Innocent, Mr T and Ron who did everything to make the trip a truly memorable event. I now have over 2,500 photos to edit which will be a lasting record of this great holiday having seen all the ‘Big 5’ animals. I was very impressed with the great organisation and professionalism of Sunway Safaris that I’m already thinking of booking another trip next year. I would very much like to visit Namibia/South Africa to see cheetahs (if possible) and any other animals and wildlife.

Alice - Apr23

We had the absolute BEST time!!! Seriously, it was incredible! The boys were living their best lives! We feel so incredibly lucky, it honestly couldn’t have been better. The wild camping was outstanding, sleeping with the sounds of lions and hyenas nearby! The guides that we had were brilliant, and so good with the boys. We got to see SO much, and even witnessed leopards mating and 2 male lion hunting and killing a buffalo calf. We have been having an unreal year this year, traveling the world. Our time in Botswana was the boys favorite of it all! We really can’t thank you enough. It was the perfect tour for us. We couldn’t imagine going on safari any other way! Oh, forgot to mention that we were so lucky and our time in Livingstone coincided with an U12 football tournament, and the play it forward team let our lads participate!! One of the absolute highlights of the year, so special. We are going to continue the connection and send out kit and the like when we get home. They are doing phenomenal work.

Stephen - Aug22

Hi. Wow, what an awesome African experience. Africa is wild and free, still the domain of nature. To see beautiful and powerful animals in their natural world is magic. Got photos of them but the camera does no justice to them. The scenery and star filled skies at night cannot possibly be captured on camera,everything is so. vast and devoid of humanity, as it should be. Drives in the game reserves were fab, close to magnificent animals. Saw cheetahs, a leopard, lions, wild dogs feeding, saw 🐘 🦏 🦒, and many more. Cape buffaloes are awesome. Visited Soweto in S A. Flew over Okavango Delta and did a sunset cruise, hippos and crocodiles. Camping was fun, great group of people, all helpingout. Food was terrific. This is just a precis of my adventure, so much more in my head. Sunway has done a fabulous job, safari as per itinerary, everything spot on. Our main guide Wayne was exemplary in all he did. Cheerful, highly knowledgeable about the animals and cultures and a great cook. A1 bloke. Please pass this on as it was not really covered in the feedback form. Thanks for everything, Stephen.

Richard Webb - Jun22

Well we have finally made it home from one of the most fantastic trips of our lives. Botswana Wildside was everything we could have possibly hoped for and more! Chris was a fabulous tour leader and his cooking skills were simply amazing - I would never have believed it possible for food to taste so good on a camping expedition! As for Jame who guided us through Moremi, Savuti and Chobe, his knowldege of the area, fauna and flora was quite remarkable. I really could not have imagined a better guide than Jame - he always had an enormous smile on his face, his empathy and passion for the animals and environment unsurpassed. What was going to be a quick trip to replenish the water containers at a park gate - ended up taking delightful hours, as he can just not help himself stopping and observing any wildlife we came upon (and it always felt that he enjoyed it as much as we did)! His intimate knowledge of animal behaviour (clearly essential on a trip of this kind) never left us feeling uneasy. The only problem you have now is that if we do another tour - we will be requesting both Chris and Jame!!.

Richard Phillips - 25Dec16

If someone told me that I had one month to live, I would spend it on this trip. We have traveled all over the world, and this is it. Can't wait to do it again.

Laurent & Anne Sheybani- 06Oct19

From Oct. 6 to 19., my wife and I had the chance to participate in a mobile, wild camping safari. We would like to congratulate our guides (Woulter and Kenny) as well as the camp aide (Dineo) for the wonderful job that they did. Woulter and Kenny are highly knowledgeable, very nice persons, always motivated to share their experience. Woulter did also a wonderful job cooking all meals (we were happy to help) and organising the food storage ! Kenny is a truly nice person and knows the savannah "as his pocket". Dineo was always keen to help setting the tent or anticipating the meals when we were on a game drive. This team made our safari so interesting! The accommodation were all very nice. Even the tents were quite big and comfortable. As said, all meals were above expectation given the circumstances (wild safari...). The Waterfront hotel in Zambia is outstanding. All game drive gave us always new surprises. The high experience of Woulter and Kenny allowed us to see many wild animals and also nice spots to enjoy the wonderful landscapes. During the way to Kasane, there was a problem with the 4x4, but even this was not seen as a failure... Kenny managed to handle the problem and two 4x4 went to pick us up in less than an hour. Woulter always keeps his usual good mood and everything went fine. As you can see, we are delighted by this safari, as everything went beyond expectation. We will certainly recommend Sunway Safaris to anyone interested in safari and we hope to join such a safari soon! To note, Safari Specialists recommended us to Sunway and the safari was in line with their description.

Toni Busby- 15Sep19

1. 1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday? Seeing a leopard kill. Being chased by a hippo. All the amazing animals up close. Our fabulous guide Farai and his cooking!! Kenny our driver and guide - great driving skills! Ronald our guide who put up our tents before we arrived at a new camp. 2. 2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday? Be prepared for anything. Bring lots of wet wipes and a scarf to put around your face when in the jeep - for warmth, to keep the dust and wind out. Be super organised. 3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation? Definitely - it created jobs. We were so careful with the environment - no rubbish left, used water sparingly, donated to the sausage tree fund. 4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall? Amazing!!!! So well-organised and the guides were so professional. Loved the guides and the healthy food. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall? 5 *****

Karen & Shannon , Ontoria Canada - 22Jul19

Dear Sunway Safaris, I am hoping you can share this email with Shaun, Bryan and Ngande. We met Shaun in Maun at Audi Camp on May 10th as we were packing up to head out to Moremi. I wanted to say thank you for the most amazing and incredible trip to Africa. I didn’t think it was possible to squeeze for much fun and adventure into our 14 day Botswana wildside safari. This was a safari far beyond my expectations and I honestly don’t know how a safari could be better than this. Myself, my daughter and one other person (a US airforce pilot) were on this tour May 5-18, 2019. Bryan was main guide with help from Cloud, Ngande and our local Okavango Delta crew from Dtepi (not sure of the spelling) (Aleks, Keodirelse, Lottsing, Letty). What a great business model to use local guides, with lots of local expertise and be able to provide some local employment (that matters to me). They were excellent. Our days in the Delta were memorable and the walking safari experience is completely different than a driving safari. I wouldn’t have missed this for anything. We do a fair amount of canoe tripping here in Canada so loading our gear in boats and poling or paddling in somewhere to camp was pretty familiar (and fun) for us. Our guides showed us so many things that we would never have been able to see without them. The big African mammals were great and we were lucky to see cheetahs and a leopard and honey badgers and all the big five, but I very much loved seeing the incredible diversity of bird species (I recorded over 100 African birds with the help of Bryan, Ngande and others), and plants. I am a biologist by background, so this was like a dream field trip for me. Bryan and Ngande were expert birders and I think had fun finding new or less common birds in addition to the typical African critters. The birds were so beautiful and I think even my travel mates turned into birders on the trip. I also very much appreciated the different landscapes we travelled through on our trip, from wide open desert and savannah to the huge Okavango delta and the Chobe and Zambezi rivers. Bryan was a great cook; the food was healthy and amazing and Bryan even planned a special treat for us on Mother’s day (basically for me). Bryan was also a great guide and I was very interested to learn about the training, education and qualifications for guides in Africa. Ngande was a great driver and got us out of a number of tight spots in sand or with elephants on the road (or both), where most others would have gotten stuck. Ngande was also clearly very familiar with the areas we visited and was able to find wildlife almost the moment we left camp. Both Ngande and Bryan were expert at identifying a huge range of wildlife and plants. I was clear to me that safety was top priority in every situation and even though we were able to get close to lots of wildlife, I never felt unsafe thanks to Bryan and Ngande; their collective experience in how to best handle the range of situations we encountered was very appreciated and we fully trusted their judgement. Stories around the campfire at night was a great way to learn about life and cultures between continents and added so much to our experience. By the end of our tour, I felt like family with our guides and I have to admit that we were sad to part ways at the end of the trip. I plan to be in Africa again and would certainly consider another Sunway tour. Thanks so much for making this experience possible.

David & Kristin , Colorado USA - 10Jun19

This may not be the correct venue for providing a review of our trip, but please accept this email as a review. My wife and I just returned from the Botswana Wildside trip that began in Johannesburg on May 19. We wanted to thank you and your staff for providing us with one of the best experiences of our lives! The trip was well organized and led well by all of our guides. Stephen was organized, gave us a solid understanding of what to expect for each day at the evening briefings, and was always gracious in answering any of our questions. Shandle was always joyous, smiling and had an infectious laugh. But he also had a tremendous level of knowledge and understanding of the area, animals and culture that he shared. Kenny was similarly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about being in the bush and did a fantastic job in leading the game drives. And even though he did not do any guiding, we also appreciate the support of our follow-vehicle driver, I.T., who quie tly shared his own knowledge by identifying the different sounds of the animals at night. We both came away from this trip with a deeper understanding and love of the land and people of Southern Africa. We would definitely recommend your company and these guides to anyone who wants to experience the wilds of Botswana.

Ulrich Hauber , Germany- 04Jun19

Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation? Yes. 4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall? Excellent *****

Diane , UK- 24Apr19

A well organise d tour with good equi pment and exceptional local guides. The first 2 days were hard going with long distances to travel but the transport was comfortable with plenty of comfort breaks. The 2 local guides were amazing taking great care of us and full of knowledge. Canoeing into the okavango delta and helicopter ride over the delta were the highlight

Sylvia, Germany - 29Oct18

Hello dear team of Sunway Safaris, I had with you the 14 day tour Botswana, Zambia and South Africa, Tour Code BT14. I booked my tour through afrika ours individual GmbH in Munich. The tour started on the 14th of October 2018 and ended on the 28th of October 2018. It was one of the best decisions in my life to do this tour. Since I traveled alone, I was a bit worried at first, how would the integration into the group work and because the tour was English speaking and my English is not the best, I was also a little scared. But those fears were already taken to me on the first day, when I met Marc and Sarah from Great Britain, who helped me along the whole journey. Also a family from Munich Alexander, Ingrid and their daughter Sarah spoke mainly English and I translated a lot of what I did not understand. Our guide Mello made us a wonderful meal and was always helpful. Jame, the guide in Botswana, was also always very friendly and attentive. I would like to mention our main responsible person, Guide Victor, who has a tremendous amount of knowledge about Africa, culture, politics and people. Who has informed us extensively about every plant and every animal and who has fulfilled every wish.

Hannah New Zealand - 14Jul17

I just wanted to email as I have just arrived home after my travels.Two friends and I did the Botswana Wildside safari and absolutely loved it! The tour guides were lovely, always helpful and worked so hard. They knew the environment very well and introduced us to this wonderful place with expertise. Our eyes were opened to parts of the African wildlife we never knew before. The guides kept us safe and happy. What a fun group we had! The safari was a great balance of animal life but also the fauna and flora. I definitely experienced more than I thought I would! We loved being able to camp out in these countries to feel 100% immersed in the wilderness. The gear we used was of good quality and had no problems. Every part of the safari was well organised from the gear we used, to our food and our travel plans. I especially wanted to say a huge thank you to the Johannesburg office lady (sorry I can't remember her name). We had some problems with our flights and sadly missed out of the first day and a half of our safari. This lady was so helpful when it came to working out how to meet up with our safari group. It was a stressful situation that she made easier because of her calm manor and friendliness. So overall thank you so much for enabling us to have this amazing experience! It will remain special in our minds and hearts. I will never forget these memories. I definitely recommend Sunway Safaris! .

Neil, Rochester UK - 28Jun17

Best of Botswana, camping Safari.. Beautiful scenery, good weather, plenty of wildlife & good food. What a fantastic 15 day holiday/adventure. Our guides were fantastic, their knowledge & passion was second to none. The camping was enjoyable, even though you spent 7 nights wild camping with no proper toilets or showers we were well looked after with the portable versions. We saw so much wildlife including Rhino, Elephant, lion, Zebra, Giraffe and plenty bird life. While doing the camping through the parks make sure you take enough bottled water with you as there are no shops to stock up.Entering Botswana there is a $30 tourism levy, but for now it has been postponed until further notice. Entry in to Zambia is $50, but for the same price you can get a double entry to include Zimbabwe which is highly recommended so that you can see the falls from both sides. While in Zambia we went to the Victoria Falls which was a true highlight for all. The water levels are high at the moment so the spray from the falls gets you very wet!! The next day we went to the Zimbabwe side of the falls to view the other half which I would highly recommend. We went to the Victoria Falls hotel and enjoyed a cocktail with a wonderful view of the falls in the back ground. I would highly recommend this holiday as the campsites for the wild camping are right in where the animals roam with no fences. Will definitely go again. Thank you Sunway Safaris and guide Brian for an amazing holiday.

We have just returned home to Australia after our Botswana Wildside tour which started on 25/12/16. We would like to pass on our praises for all our guides and helpers throughout the tour. William and Alios made such a wonderful pair of lead guides and complemented one another so well. Kenny was an excellent tracker during our game drives and was very passionate about the animals. Everyone on our tour were amazed at Mellow's campfire cooking skills. The most amazing meals we had during our whole African trip were Mellow's cooking. We were very impressed with their knowledge of Africa's history, geography and wildlife. Not only were they well-informed, your staff also made sure that we were well-looked after throughout the whole tour. It is thanks to passionate staff like these which made our trip so memorable and we hope that they equally well-valued by your company.

Dear Bruce and Team This is my Africa I love so much. I'm back again but not feeling at home yet for it always takes quite a while until Heart and Soul have arrived too. It was a truly awesome adventure especially the close and unforgettable encounter with this Lioness in our camp. We where very well looked after by our guides and spoilt with delicious meals. I needed the two additional days in Livingstone to say good by to Africa and the unique magic of Sambesi. I sincerely hope to be back again next year for I would very much like to visit the great Simbabwe Ruins once more. Best regards, Claire

Amazing trip in a well conserved environment, that has met completely our expectations. It's necessary to have the ability to adapt and cooperate this kind of tour in wild camping. The whole crew, guides, assistant and tour leader were well prepared and professional, and furthermore they provide good food and safe drives along the sandy road of Botswana's National Parks and a good camping equipment was provided. Maybe if we join again the same tour we will fly directly to Maun spending more days in the delta...

Good Service, value for money. Both guides were amazing.

Hello Sunway Safari team,Back home to Germany for two weeks now and Africa is still on my mind. I did the two camping Safaris Botswana Wildside and Namibia which were truly amazing. Thank you for the well organized trips and four breathtaking weeks! All the guides (in order of appearance ;o) : William, Abel, Maxwell, Jamie and James) did a great job and I would like to thank them all for their passion and kindness. It was fantastic to have them on board. Special thanks to Maxwell. He is really dedicated to his job. His knowledge about the African life (fauna, flora, people, medicine, history, politics,...and also the European (Willhelm Tell, Otto von Bismarck,... ;o) ) was really impressing. Explaining us the wildlife, you could feel his passion for the nature and its beauty. Even the cooking was excellent - I didn't expect that, specially not in the middle of the African bush! Thank you for answering our million questions, for the encouragement to ask even silly ones, for the uncountable stops (backward- forward) to take pictures, for feeling safe in the wild, for bringing us closer to this beautiful continent. It was a lifetime experience, that I will never forget.

Susanne Bucher - 27Sep15

I enjoyed the tour very much because of the variety of activities and the good organisational skills of the guides. I felt very comfortable.

Youenn Paul & Elissa Thompson - 06Sep15

Overall we really enjoyed the tour, services and guides (Shadreck & Gift) were exceptional and we were very happy and impressed with our trip. Also a special mention for our Botswana guide Kenny, he was amazing!

Our best compliments to our guides Dee, Greg and Stan who gave us a fantastic holiday. Thank you very much! We will certainly recommend you. Kind regards, Kurt and Melanie Weilguny

Great guidse, great places, I really enjoyed the camping vibe.

Joke and Nico - 21Aug14

We want to thank you, specially Chris, for the great tour BT14 we made in july. We had a great time with him and his humor, food and his knowledge of leading a group. Also the support off Kenny (guide and driver); James (we nearly see him, but he was always there) was great! They deserve a big compliment!Thanks, we hope to see each other again in the future! Greetings from Joke and Nico

Kristen Sawyer - 01Sep13

I recently returned from Africa after taking the Botswana Wildside Tour with a departure date of 9/1/13. My friend and I went on the trip and we loved every minute of the adventure (and didn't mind all the 5:30am wake up calls). We had Jeff as our guide and Kenny and Joe joined us once we got back from the Delta. I was initially a little nervous about sleeping in a tent for 2 weeks but the time went by so quickly and the tents and sleeping pads were comfortable and well kept. All the guides were knowledgeable and were very helpful with camp and making delicious meals for the group. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions, but I just wanted to share my experience on the tour as well as let you know how great Jeff, Kenny and Joe were for the 2 weeks. Kristen Sawyer

Merijn de Veer - 19Aug13

Dear Sunway Safaris, We would thank you guys for an amazing 14 day Botswana Wildside camping safari which we just finished. The trip was surpassing our best dreams. We would like to thank our guides Claudia and Wayne for all the effort they made to make this trip a memorable one. Nothing was too much and everything was done with a smile. Wayne is a very knowledgeable guide about local culture, nature, wildlife and the people. We enjoyed his humor a lot and he is doing his job very professional and enthusiast. I was astonished by the beauty of the Delta and loved to propose to my girlfriend at this special place. When I asked Wayne for this favor he was very enthusiast and helped me to find a special place and a local guide to bring us to a beautiful pool with many birds. A perfect place for this special moment. The cooking of Claudia was amazing, healthy and every day a surprise. Her love for Africa was inspiring and her interest for birds and her knowledge about them was very interesting. Thank you guys and good luck with all your future travels! And Wayne, we hope Zambia will make it to the World Cup! Best regards, Merijn and Charlene

Julie Mills - 21Jul13

Dear Bruce My son Josh and I have just returned to London from the Botswana Wildside Tour. I wanted to complement you on the arrangements which were seamless, the choice of destinations which were fantastic, and most of all on the guides. As a former tour guide myself I am pretty picky about guides and Wayne was without doubt one of the most professional, gracious, organised and intelligent guides I have ever had the pleasure of travelling with. Claudia and Rob were also terrific and Brian and James were great in Botswana. All guides displayed a strong environmental ethic too which was gratifying . I can't speak highly enough about this trip - not my first to Africa. I assure you it won't be my last with Sunway! I may even have persuaded my husband to join us on a 'group' trip next time - such was the level of my praise. Yours sincerely Julie Taylor Mills (United Kingdom)

Daniela Neubert - 29Jul13

Ich hab immer Fernweh und seit längerer Zeit träume ich von Botswana. Dieses Jahr war es endlich soweit. Ein großes Glück war unsere Reisegruppe. Mit nur 4 Personen, alles Familie, plus Guides, durch den Busch, das ist ruhig, lustig und angenehm. Nach dem Khama Rhino Sanctuary, mit erschreckenden Berichten über die Anzahl, der Rückgang und Wiederaufbau der Breitmaulnashorn - Population ging es in das Okavango - Delta. Dieses einzigartige Naturschauspiel in seiner Größe kann man kaum erfassen. Zu Fuß auf Pirsch ist etwas Besonderes, es gibt keine Schranken zwischen Mensch und Tier. Die einheimischen Guides sind super freundlich, sie erklärten uns ihre Heimat. Im Delta wäre ich gern einen Tag länger geblieben, Trekking gehört zu meinen Leidenschaften, und Auge in Auge mit meinen Lieblingen, den Elefanten, ist eindeutig ein Erlebnis. Die vielen Flugzeuggeräusche empfinde ich allerdings als störend. Keine Ausgewogenheit, tut mir leid. Weiter ging es in den Moremi - NP. Das Tollste ist, die Ungläubigkeit in den Augen unserer Guides zu sehen, wenn Löwenrudel, ich glaube es waren 8, Leopard und Hyäne sich im Umkreis von 100m nicht sehen und riechen. Das hätte auch einen Krieg geben können. Aber alle waren entspannt. Ich habe auch festgestellt, das Hyänen schöner im Aussehen sind als ihr Ruf. Ein einzelner Leopard am Vorabend lief uns direkt vor den Jeep, ich hab Verständnis, auf der Piste läuft es sich eindeutig besser als im Busch. Und alle können ihn sehen, muss ein eitles Weibchen gewesen sein. Und vor diesem Highlight war bereits schon ein Löwenrudel, welches nach dem Fressen dick und rund ca. 3-4m vor uns in der Abendsonne lag und sich überhaupt nicht stören ließ. Ein müdes Gähnen. Wow. Zelt ab, Zelt auf! 6.30 Uhr! Ohne Kaffee geht nichts! Im Savuti war es bereits ziemlich trocken. Jedoch ist der Vorteil, das viele Tiere an wenig Wasser müssen. Großartige Bilder haben wir von 2 Leoparden, die Siesta auf einem Baumstumpf am Fluss halten wollten. Nur haben sie nicht mit den Elefanten gerechnet. Das musste erst ausdiskutiert werden. Ein Leopard trollte sich auf die andere Uferseite, der andere blieb am Baum. Wahnsinn! Die vielen andere Tiere lässt so etwas allerdings kalt. Mich nicht, hab gefeiert! Im Savuti kann es auch passieren, dass eine Elefantenherde sich auf Samttatzen anschleicht und mit dir duschen will. Es hatte zumindest den Anschein. Das wäre eng geworden. Aber bei Elefanten im Camp überlegt man schon, wie viel das Zelt aushält. Vom Löwengebrüll nachts mal ganz zu schweigen. Auch eine Hyäne hatte Durst und versuchte sich an unserem Kanister. Wir haben aber gut geschlafen. Leider finden die vielen anderen Tiere nicht genügend Platz im Bericht, wobei doch alle wunderschön anzuschauen sind. Ich kann nicht genug von Vogelarten, Zebras, Gnus, Hippos, Warzenschweinen, Strauße und alle möglichen Antilopenarten erzählen. Ich hab auch noch nie so viele Esel in meinem Leben gesehen, ob auf der Straße oder daneben. Der Chobe - NP ist anders. Das Camp direkt am Fluss, sind die Beobachtungen der Tiere fantastisch. Bei Sonnenuntergang schwimmen ganze Herden Zebras und Büffel durch den Fluss. Seeadler konnten wir beim Fischen beobachten, Giraffen beim Trinken und auch bei Schaukämpfen. Tierkinder sind überall. Sorry, auch ein Elefantenbaby gerissen von Löwen, aber etwas weiter weg. Ist Natur. Und einen Büffel, der sich vor mir zu Tode erschreckt, nur weil ich gerade Sonnencreme auftrage. Das sollte mir zu denken geben! Und auch eine Ameisenwespe durfte ich näher kennen lernen. Später hatten wir dann eine Panne mit dem Jeep, reizende Damen aus Washington haben uns mitgenommen. Mit ihnen sahen wir noch einen Leoparden im Baum, er wollte schlafen. Das war Leopard Nummer 5. Natürlich Sonnenuntergänge auf dem Chobe und auf dem Sambesi, an den Victoriafällen. Romantik ist immer dabei. Die Fälle sind einzigartig, wunderschön entlang zu laufen, ein Naturschauspiel, welches auch noch nass macht. Keine Sorge, alle Leute sind angezogen. Ein Hubschrauberflug über und durch die Canyon rundet die Sache ab. Beim Besuch abends in der Bar tauschen sich alle mit ihren Geschichten aus. Da wird es dann auch mal spät. Mein Bericht könnte ewig sein, leider muss ich ihn einschränken. Ich möchte Euch alle nicht langweilen. Meine Erlebnisse waren unglaublich. Alle "Big Five" haben wir gesehen, und mir neu: auch die "hässlichsten Five". Wobei was für eine Kategorie, denn wer kann sich das schon aussuchen?! " Vielen Dank an Sunway und alle Guides. Vielleicht sehen wir uns eines Tages wieder. Mich persönlich lässt Afrika nicht los, außerdem habe ich noch keine tausende Flamingos und keine Löffelohrhunde und und ..... in Afrika gesehen. Das geht nicht! Viele Grüße Daniela Neubert

Gilbert Family - Jun13

Hello, We have just returned from a fantastic holiday in Botswana and I feel the support and efficiency that you provided contributed towards the whole package. The organisation of the whole thing was very smooth. The way Sunway works was excellent and the guides they provided were second to none. We cannot fault anything and would like to thank you for helping organize a fantastic holiday. We run a business ourselves and know how clients are always quick to let you know when things are not up to standard but less keen to commend you when things go well. Thank you again. Hilary Gilbert and family

Jenny Lindstedt - 30 Oct12

Peter and I had a fantastic safari with Sunways. Everything was so organized and ran very smoothly. Our guide, Wayne, and the other helpers were all wonderful, helpful and friendly. The other clients on safari with us were a good mix of ages and nationality. We all grew quite close during our time together and I hope we stay in touch. Thank you again for organizing our trip. Sincerely Jenny Lindstedt, Austrailia

Joris Ooms - 18May11

Hi, Just got back from my 2nd wildside camping experience and once again, it was a blast!!! A 3rd time will come for sure!! I have the feeling my mind stayed there as now it's so hard to come back to reality. So many experiences, so many thrills, too many memories to process... We went there as total individuals and came back as one family. Absolutely sure you can call this value for money. Thanks!! Also a very warm thanks to our guides Lazarus and Bryan. They kept us safe and relaxed by doing what they do best: let us experience the wildside part of Botswana. We never felt stressed, ate the best food ever and were taken care off in the best possible way. Thumbs up for them and many many thanks for this experience!! Joris Ooms Belgium

Hayley Gray - 21Sep11

Hi Richard, Can I just say thank you again for all of your help. The trip was even more amazing than I could ever have anticipated. The Sunway guys were fantastic and all 12 travellers on this trip were amazed with how much knowledge, preparation and care goes into every detail of the trip. I feel very lucky that with your help I was still able to experience this. Hayley

Margrit und Urs Sturzenegger - 02Jun11

It`s a big pleasure to have news from you, thank you very match. Our travel at home was without problems, but full of thinking at the wonderful walks on the wildside. For us, in our age it was a real "adventure" and we are happy that we had the possibility for this experience. With your being helpful, and always to be in good spirit it was a unforgettable experience. A very special thank for your help the last night, during the storm. Now we are ordering the photos and tell everybody about this wonderful safari and the adorable people we got to meet. You were loking very good for us, and we felt us very safed, even at the crocodil-camp. Thank you for all!!! With best regards for you, Chris and Fred Margrit und Urs.

Christiane Bohr - 02Jun11

Hi Richard, Now returned from the Botswana Wildside Trip I would like to say thank you, that you made it possible for me to travel with Chris for the second time. It was such a great experience for me again and I felt like being in paradise for two more weeks. The decision to travel alone this time was not quite easy, because parts of my family and friends wouldn't let me go to Africa as a woman alone. But the impressions of the trip before were always in my heart and Chris has since this last trip, which we had together with my daughter, all my confidence. I didn't have any doubt at all. He really did everything to make it comfortable for me and he was always on my side, when I needed any help, and always friendly and smiling. I felt safely at every time during the whole tour. Chris did everything to keep the camp spirit high and with his knowledge, enthusiasm and ability to lead the group and to integrate everybody he made my holiday to a brilliant and special experience, always relaxed and enjoying. Our group was travelling together like a big family and we had a lot of fun and good conversation all the time. Coming home my face was shining and everybody who looked at me saw that I had such a great time and I could convince everybody, who doubted, that it is possible to travel to Africa as a single person. Thank you again, especially to Chris, and I am looking forward to my next trip because Africa is in my heart and I am sure I will come back soon. Thank you as well to the other guides, Chris v.B. and Fred and to Inspector Macumbi, who made the time in the real bush to a special experience. Don't hesitate to contact me, if you will have an interesting offer for me again. Thanks and best regards Christiane

Constanze Laging - 10May11

I am back in India by and already busy working (unfortunately). The trip was great and we really enjoyed it. Especially for my niece it was an experience she will never forget. My special thanks go to our guides during the safari, Peter and Inspector. Inspector is really a river bushman with lots of experience who managed to bring us safely to all the great animals. I do not know how he found them since we had so much vegetation, but somehow he managed to our great pleasure. Peter is just great, with huge knowledge, open minded and always thinking three steps ahead to make the trip truly unforgettable and as enjoyable as possible. You have great guys there. Kind regards, Constanze

Dörte Rüdiger Birr - 02Feb11

Hi, we want to thank you for the beautiful journey from 12/26/2010 to 01/07/2011, it has all worked but great. The tour was very nice and our guide Andrew was very very good, he really took care of everything, explained everything to us (especially the animal world) and was just a good friend on this tour. Thank you so much If someone from our group of friends are planning a similar tour, I can recommend Sunway very good conscience. Greetings from Germany Family Birr

Discover Africa

An increasingly rare wilderness and a land of staggering beauty, Rwanda is home to half the world’s mountain gorillas and a vast savannah teeming with iconic wildlife.

LAND OF THRILLS

Explore an unforgettable Rwanda safari

Nothing can prepare you for it. The moment you encounter a mountain gorilla in the wild. As you close in quietly to see a mother cradling her baby, just metres away from you in the legendary mist-shrouded Virunga Mountains, there’s a palpable sense of interconnectedness. From the land, to the wildlife, to the people. Everything is seamlessly woven into every level of the ecosystem. And the ripple effects are seen everywhere.

Journey to the Land of a Thousand Hills

Easily traversed, Rwanda is one of Africa’s most thrilling destinations – promising unique wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes, and warm, proud people. A land of astonishing beauty, Rwanda has risen phoenix-like from its troubled history. Today the tiny country of nearly 13 million people is Africa’s economic poster child, a model of reconciliation, regeneration and sustainability. 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Rwanda at a glance

Going off the beaten track when on holiday comes with questions. When is the best season to view wildlife in Rwanda? How cold does it get at night and what languages are spoken? To help you prepare for your Rwanda safari, we have put together a few key facts to inspire your adventurous spirit.

Rwanda key facts

Vibrant and thriving. In the heart of Africa, Rwanda is one of Africa’s most biodiverse regions. Its bustling capital, Kigali, exemplifies cleanliness and order; plastic bags are banned and car-less Mondays are encouraged. Fiercely protective over its wilderness and land, we are proud to be involved in reforestation programmes and the protection of endangered wildlife.

Do I need to take malaria medication to go on holiday to Rwanda?

While Bisate’s elevation means that it is not located in a malaria-risk area, other regions in Rwanda that you may pass through do carry a risk, including Magashi in Akagera National Park. We advise our guests to check with their medical practitioner/travel clinic regarding malaria prevention. Please be sure to do this several weeks prior to departure, as some courses of medication need to be started in advance of your arrival in Rwanda.

Children in the Wilderness is a non-profit organisation supported by ecotourism company  Wilderness , which aims to facilitate sustainable conservation through leadership development and education of children in Africa. 

Insight, care and commitment are required to conserve Africa’s pristine wilderness and wildlife areas. If we are to ensure that these places continue to exist – in this generation and those to come – we need the rural children of Africa to understand the importance of conservation and its relevance in their lives. Hence, our Children in the Wilderness programme: an environmental and life skills educational programme for children, focusing on the next generation of decision-makers; inspiring them to care for their natural heritage and to become the custodians of these areas in the future.

This is achieved in a variety of ways – from hosting Eco-Club programmes at local schools, to running camps at Wilderness and partner camps, for the children within the rural communities that live on the edges of the wild areas of Africa.

Children in the Wilderness has also begun a number of other initiatives to assist children and their teachers and parents within their own milieu, such as school nutrition schemes, village upliftment programmes and scholarship programmes.

WHERE IT ALL STARTED

In August 2001, Paul Newman and his family travelled to Africa on a two-week safari with Wilderness. During this trip, it was suggested that the respective visions of the Association of Hole in the Wall Camps (Newman’s initiative) and Wilderness could be combined and blended to create a sustainable and effective African programme. In December of the same year the first Children in the Wilderness programme was launched.

The creation of Children in the Wilderness was an organic evolution of the vision of Wilderness, which has always been that we need to face the challenge of Africa’s wildlife areas being under severe pressure – indeed, the areas in which Wilderness operates are some of the planet’s more sensitive and fragile environmental hotspots. Therefore, by focusing on children, Children in the Wilderness believes that a programme of this calibre can impact significantly on the local communities in the hope of securing the future of these fragile areas.
