We walk there, we fly there, we drive there and of course we paddle there! Botswana is
a land-locked country dominated in geographical terms by the Kalahari Desert, a sand-filled
basin averaging 1100 metres above sea level. It offers some of the most unique landscapes
in southern Africa.
In Botswana's northwest, the Okavango River flows in from the highlands of Angola and soaks
into the sands, forming a 15,000 square-kilometre network of water channels, lagoons, swamps
and islands. The Okavango is the largest inland delta system in the world, only a little smaller
than Israel or half of Switzerland. The north-eastern region of the Kalahari Basin contains the
Makgadikgadi Pans, an extensive network of saltpans and ephemeral lakes.
Covering an area of about 75 square kilometres, the Tuli Game Reserve is a region rich in wildlife
and interesting landscapes, and one reserve among the pockets of conservation that make up the Tuli
Block in eastern Botswana.
We walk here (with our accredited professional trail guides) and have some of the most incredible
experiences with wildlife you can ever imagine: lion, leopard, cheetah, spotted and brown hyena,
bat-eared fox, eland, zebras, wildebeest and elephant (the elephant sightings are fantastic) and
if you want something rustic we can also arrange that.
We have hand-picked extraordinary luxury camps and exclusive lodges, and combine them with one of
the all-time best wildlife experiences.

"We had a tremendous time from the minute we landed to the last meal. While the location can
take some of the credit, Hayden's company and hospitality were the main reasons for us having
such a good time."
