pioneered camping safaris into Botswanas hinterland in 1972 and we still believe
that a tented safari is the ultimate way to experience the lure of Africa. Now we are able
to fulfil a cherished dream and offer the discerning traveller the ultimate tented safari
in Botswana, the Botswana
a la Hemingway, a deluxe fully serviced camping and lodge safari in the grand
style of days gone by. This safari is unashamedly aimed at providing the very best for a select few. The Botswana a la Hemingway travels in an exclusive international group of no more than 7 passengers, so that every safari guest is guaranteed a window seat in our specially modified safari vehicle. The safari is lead by a professional Afro Ventures safari guide and is conducted in English. A full complement of camp staff cater to your every need. Accommodation is in walk-in tents with camp beds, linen, duvets, pillows and each tent has private adjacent ablution facilities (hot & cold shower + flush loo). Silver service meals are served by candelabra in the dining tent. There is also a bar tent with a well-stocked bar, wildlife reference library and a selection of cigars. Alternated with stays in our deluxe mobile camp as described above, we enjoy the luxury of the very best intimate safari lodges in Botswana. All meals and drinks are included in the safari fare. The safari route takes a leisurely 13 day journey through the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the Okavango Delta, Moremi Wildlife Reserve, Chobe National Park and Victoria Falls. Choose from 16 departures per year. Prices from US$4055 per person |
| Camping safaris: |
| Mobile tented
safaris allow the maximum flexibility when planning a safari route to provide you with the
greatest number of scenic and cultural highlights, the best gameviewing opportunities and
also take you way off the beaten track. For fellow travellers with a sense of adventure who would like to discover some of Southern Africas remotest gems, Afro Ventures has designed a unique brand of safari which we term limited participation camping safaris. This is a comfortable, convenient style of camping safari and the only participation which we expect from our guests is to put up and take down their safari tents. Our limited participation camping adventures are lead by professional Afro Ventures safari guides and travel overland in our own specially modified safari vehicles. Because we believe that discovering Africa is a profoundly personal experience, we limit our camping safaris to a maximum of 10 passengers. We supply top quality 2,4m x 2,4m 3-man igloo tents with mosquito proofing and sewn-in ground sheets for twin occupancy only. Compressed foam mattresses and all other camping equipment, except sleeping bags and pillow, are provided. All our Botswana limited participation camping safaris include a support vehicle, back-up driver and camp assistant who perform the camp chores. On the participation camping safaris we operate in Namibia and Zimbabwe, we do not provide support vehicles but we do supply a camp assistant to perform camp chores. Our safari vehicles are fitted with refrigerators so that we can provide you with fresh fruit and vegetables on safari a real luxury in the bush! Most of the people who venture on our mobile tented safaris have never camped before, but soon acclimatise. The camaraderie, friendship and team spirit developed on a safari under canvas is almost as important as the fact that camping allows us to get truly close to nature.

| Accommodated safaris: |
| We at Afro
Ventures believe that to fully appreciate and understand the environment and contrasting
habitats of the wilderness areas of Southern Africa, travel by land is essential. For
those who seek more comfort and do not wish to camp, we have hand picked the very best
lodge and hotel accommodation on the classic safari routes through Botswana, Zimbabwe and
Namibia. Accommodated Safaris travel in exclusive international groups of 7 10 passengers in our specially modified safari vehicles. Your personal Afro Ventures safari guide will lead every gamedrive and safari activity. These are conducted in English. "Safari" is the Swahili word for journey and we have ensured that each safari itinerary is a journey of discovery, covering the highlights of Southern Africas rugged terrain. This is undoubtedly the ideal way to venture deep into its remotest wilderness areas, safe in the knowledge that you will be well taken care of by your experienced safari guide and that you will be able to wash off the days dust in the comfort and privacy of your lodge accommodation.

| Wings safaris |
| For those safari enthusiasts to Africa that have time constraints, choosing a wing safari enables you to fit in as much as possible during your stay. All transferees are by chartered or scheduled flights between the major centers or directly to the lodges own air strip where applicable. The advantage of course is that the time spent travelling is minimized and one does not have to endure long road journeys over the sometimes bumpy and dusty roads. The disadvantage is that many of the encounters with both local people and nature are missed. These un-expected and spontaneous encounters are often the details that make each African adventure a unique experience and are retained long after your trail dust has settled. |
