I F YOU GO. . .

Wilderness Safaris operates camps throughout

all of southern Africa, including 20 camps in Botswana. While civilization of any kind is hundreds of kilometres away, each of Wilderness Safaris’ camps is a refreshing oasis of relaxation and comfort. www.wildernesssafaris.com

Flights between camps are offered

through Wilderness Air. www.wildernessair.com

The camps incorporate renewable energy

systems such as on-site solar panels, recycling programs and mindful environmental standards. Wilderness Safaris focuses on responsible commerce, community development, conservation and culture. Its local staff have the opportunity to participate in a profit-sharing program, and Children in the Wilderness programs educate the next generation to make the environment a priority as they become custodians of these important wilderness areas.

Most international flights arrive via

Johannesburg, South Africa to Maun, Botswana. Stay at the Peermont d’Oreale Grande Hotel, which is just a few minutes from the O.R. Tambo International Airport.
