About
Botswana
Botswana is Africa’s shining light, a true democracy, peaceful people a positive GDP growth and money in the bank are part of the reason why Botswana is a successful nation. With an area of 581 730 square kilometers, Botswana is virtually the same size as France or Texas. With three quarters of the country technically a desert the Okavango Delta is a Jewel in the Kalahari Desert. Attracting huge herds of game and Africa’s largest elephant population.
The country’s leaders took the view that high quality/low volume tourism was the best way to create a sustainable industry that would employ a large percentage of its people, while still preserving the environment. Much of the country’s wildlife lies outside of the National Parks and Game Reserves.
NG11
This is a massive concession running for over 100km down the Okavango pan handle from the Caprivi strip down to Seronga and over 80km from Seronga heading north giving a total size of 5,280 square kilometers or 2,038 square miles.
Unlike the rest of Botswana NG11 has received average rainfall in 2024 and the pans have sufficient water to last till the middle of the year. By July most elephant movement will be towards the permanent water.
Due to the size of the concession we have a Mobile Tented camp where one can spend between two and four nights in an area where there is a lot of activity before moving. This gives your party a chance to really explore each location to its fullest.
