Experience the Wilderness From Different Perspectives
Botswana’s landscapes change from permanent waterways and seasonal floodplains to open grasslands, forests and desert environments.
Our activities are selected according to the destination, season, water levels and itinerary. Each one offers a different way to encounter Botswana’s wildlife and understand its natural environment.
Guided Game Drives
Explore Botswana’s protected areas in a specially equipped 4×4 safari vehicle.
Game drives allow us to cover larger areas while searching for elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, wild dogs, antelope and many other species.
Your guide will help you interpret animal behaviour, tracks and the different habitats encountered along the way.
Morning and afternoon drives are usually scheduled during the cooler parts of the day, when wildlife is more active and photographic light is at its best.
Available in: Moremi, Khwai, Savuti, Chobe, Nxai Pan, Makgadikgadi and the Central Kalahari.
Mokoro Excursions
Move quietly through the shallow waterways of the Okavango Delta in a traditional dugout-style canoe known as a mokoro.
This peaceful activity offers a closer view of water lilies, reeds, frogs, birds and the smaller details of the wetland environment.
Mokoro activities depend on suitable water levels and local conditions.
Available in: Selected Okavango Delta and Khwai itineraries.
Boat Excursions
Explore deeper channels and open waterways by motorboat.
Boat excursions can provide opportunities to see hippos, crocodiles, elephants near the water and a wide variety of aquatic birds.
They also reveal the scale and beauty of the Okavango Delta from a completely different perspective.
Available in: Selected Delta itineraries, subject to water levels.
Guided Nature Walks
Slow down and experience the bush on foot with a qualified guide.
A nature walk focuses on tracks, plants, insects, birds and the ecological details that can easily be missed from a vehicle.
Walking activities depend on the destination, local conditions and guide assessment. Safety always comes first.
Available in: Selected safari areas and itineraries.
Birdwatching
Botswana is home to an extraordinary variety of birdlife.
Depending on the season and destination, you may encounter kingfishers, bee-eaters, fish eagles, hornbills, storks, herons, raptors and many other resident and migratory species.
Teko’s interest in wildlife and knowledge of the Delta adds depth to both specialist and casual birdwatching experiences.
Wildlife Photography
Botswana’s landscapes provide exceptional opportunities for wildlife and nature photography.
Our guides understand the importance of patience, positioning, light and allowing animals to behave naturally. Whenever conditions permit, we give guests time to observe and photograph sightings without rushing.
Let us know if photography is a major focus of your trip so we can recommend a suitable itinerary.
Cultural and Community Experiences
Selected itineraries may include opportunities to visit local communities and learn more about life in Botswana.
These experiences can help travellers understand the relationship between people, wildlife and the landscapes surrounding protected areas.
Availability depends on the chosen itinerary and community arrangements.
Mobile Camping
Mobile camping is not simply accommodation it is an important part of the safari experience.
Eat freshly prepared meals in the open air, share stories around the fire and fall asleep to the sounds of Botswana’s wilderness.
Your camp moves with the itinerary, allowing you to explore more than one wildlife area during the same journey.
