What to bring

For a mobile safari in Botswana, pack practical, layered clothing in neutral colors (khaki, beige, olive), a warm fleece for chilly mornings, sturdy closed-toe shoes, and sun protection. You must bring a high-quality camera, binoculars, a headlamp, and essential personal toiletries in flexible, soft-sided luggage.

Know before you go

Campsite Setup: You will sleep in comfortable, walk-in canvas tents. Most setups feature camp beds with real linens, a small bucket shower filled by staff, and a private bush toilet.
Unfenced Wilderness: Because campsites lack fences, wild animals frequently walk right through camp. You must zip your tent at all times and stay inside after dark.
Digital Detox: Mobile camps are completely off-grid. Prepare to be disconnected, with no WiFi or cell service.
Early Starts: Days begin early with pre-sunrise wake-up calls, around 5:30 am, to catch predators at their most active.
Game Drives: You will spend hours bouncing along uneven tracks in open 4x4 safari vehicles.
Camp Life: You return to camp for hot meals prepared by the support crew, swapping stories around the campfire.
