I spent two weeks exploring Makgadikgadi Pans, Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park. I went on safaris and saw plenty of wildlife such as elephants, cheetahs, lions and hyenas.. just to name a few. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery around me and took in every second I could. I also experienced the culture around me by staying in multiple lodges and talking to the lodge staff.
Beautiful Botswanan sunset (Kassi Magruder)Safari schedule is something I hadn't ever experienced before. It is very much organized around two factors:
1) Wildlife is most active in the early morning and in the late afternoon - evening
2) For part of the year, it's hot as hell in the middle of the day
That means that most days are organized as follows:
Up between 5-5:30 AM every day for quick breakfast
First morning game drive at 5:30-6:00 with coffee/snack break in the middle, then back at the lodge around 11:30 AM for lunch
Siesta until around 3:30, then High Tea
Afternoon game drive/activity starting at 4:30 - Sundowners at around 6:30 pm - Arriving back to lodge around 7:30 pm
Dinner at the lodge, then SLEEP!
Siesta is an important component of safaris. That time is taken to cool down in the pool, read a book, take a nap and then another cool dip in the pool or perhaps a shower. It's also used to fly between lodges if you are moving accommodations. The schedule all runs like clockwork.
Our team is waiting and ready to talk with you about your next adventure.
So go ahead and book an appointment with one of our specialized trip planners.
Adventure Life always listens to our wants and is able to translate that into amazing experiences that easily flow from one to the other.

We have worked with Kassandra at Adventure-Life for several years. She continues to provide excellent guidance on our trips. This time, we tossed some real challenges - explicit number of days, specific itineraries and limitations on who we would prefer to sail with. She actually gave us choices ! Deposit in place and working on additional details for insurance and extensions. Another success !!

Its a beautiful country, very friendly people, and everything went like clockwork. The local guide/driver was one of the best we've had: knowledgeable, always on time, had good ideas for what to see. Khiri Travel (the local travel agency) is terrific. Second trip we've taken with them. Recommend them and Adventure Life 100%

Adventure Life organized an incredible trip matching our desired itinerary, with perfect planning and coordination from end to end, including a hand-off of guides and drivers across an international land border. I highly recommend their services.
