Take a houseboat in Botswana:
Drift gently
down the Chobe River on the Zambezi Queen,
admiring the game as you go. An incredibly

Explore northern Namibia on a quad bike:
Deserts, dunes and extraordinary vistas come
alive as fat tyres allow you access deep into
remote landscapes.
Bush skills safari:
Have you got what it takes
to be a safari guide? Find out on one of a number
of short courses which give a glimpse of the
behind-the-scenes world of a safari guide.
Enjoy a helicopter safari:
Fly fishing on

Canoe the Zambezi:
Float almost silently

position while a herd of elephants makes their way to
an island with calves using trunks as snorkels.
Mokoro in the Okavango Delta:
A local poler

Try poling yourself, but be ready to get wet!
Wildlife from ground level:
Enjoy one of the hides

safari with a professional photographer on hand to guide
and teach you. The results will be truly spectacular!
If you thought safari was all about wildlife
