We recently talked about “water camps” – how the camps are designed, what activities they offer and benefits of visiting that type of camp. With all Africa Easy safaris in Botswana, we recommend pairing land and water camps to experience the most diverse range of wildlife and activities available.
A land camp is found either in the Linyanti/Selinda area (which this year high water has changed some of the dynamic of these land camps) or the in the Moremi Game Reserve/Mombo/Chief’s Island region. Land camps offer traditional game drives in open 4×4 vehicles, as well as night drives where available (in private concessions only, not inside the Moremi Game Reserve). Some land camps have hides for viewing game.
Large concentrations of plains game occur in areas that offer more land for them to graze. Travelers often see excellent sightings of zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, buffalo, elephant, wild dog (who need the open land for hunting), cheetah, lion and leopard.
Some of our favorite land camps in Botswana are Mombo and Little Mombo Camps, Camp Moremi and Savute Safari Lodge. Our Best of Botswana Tour includes both land and water camps.
