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.

great travel company. We called for a last minute trip to Svalbard. Kevin gave great advice and worked fast, and emailed promptly. He even got us some last minute discounts. Highly recommend!
We also traveled through Adventure Life on another Arctic cruise, and they supported us through some trying circumstances.

It was nice to speak to a representative who answered all my questions. No pushy sales pitch. She called me when I requested a phone call and was pleasant and helpful. Big thank you to Karilyn Owen.
