Why book with us

The evidence behind the advice.

What we recommend is drawn from three things: our own working knowledge of the reserve and its camps, the stays our own guests report back to us, and the published primary sources the pages rest on. What guests actually saw, and how camps actually looked after them — not brochures, not commissions. The figures themselves are on each camp's own page.

The same body of evidence sets what we say to camps, not only what we say to readers.

The site is the credential.

The people who wrote the page you arrived on are the people who take the booking. The knowledge on this site is the working knowledge your trip is planned with.

What a quote contains.

As a rule, a published camp nightly rate does not include park and concession fees. Those fees are paid to the parks department and to the Khwai concessions, not to the camp, and the exceptions are rare enough that the safe assumption is: not included. So the per-night price you see almost always excludes them — they arrive later, as an addition.

Two kinds of quote leave our desk. A quote for a stay covers the camp and every compulsory fee attached to it; flights and transfers are added as your plans call for them. A quote for a package covers the whole itinerary — stays, flights, transfers, activities, and every park and concession fees along the way. What remains outside it is personal: tips, personal spending, travel insurance, and your flights to Maun.

When comparing quotes, check whether park and concession fees are included. Ours always are.

The price you're quoted.

The rate you are quoted is the camp's own rate — the same or better, at every camp here.

Payment runs in the currency the camps themselves price in — for Moremi, US dollars. The quoted price in that currency is the price, with nothing added after confirmation. What that converts to in your own currency follows the exchange rate on the day you pay.

How the booking runs.

You write to us; we reply with a written quote — itemised, obligation-free. We refine it together until it is right, or until it is clear we are not the right fit, and we will say so. Then confirmation, and the trip is ours to run.

Where a camp shows live availability here, you can also book it on the spot — the dates come from the camp's own system, and the booking lands straight back into it. Either way, the same team stands behind the trip.

While you travel, support runs around the clock: an emergency line that reaches a person, whatever the hour. Before you travel, we work office hours and answer in writing, in full.
