| Botswana Classic Fully Upgraded Safari |
A semi-participation small group camping and lodge safari from Livingstone, Zambia to Maun through Botswana, with unforgettable game viewing.

The upgraded African Safari itineraries allow you to join a camping safari but with an option to spend some of the nights in lodges or chalets. The upgraded safaris provide all the adventure and experience of the original camping safaris, with a number of accommodation upgrades. For those who feel that a sheltered and restful night's sleep is worthwhile luxury that will enhance their safari, this is the finer option.
On the "Botswana Classic Upgraded Safari" a total of 2 nights is spent in lodges/chalets and 3 nights camping.
The trip remains a semi-participation camping trip and all meals are enjoyed with the group around the campfire. At bedtime however, those fortunate guests on the upgraded tour are able to retire to the comfort of a private room in the nearby lodge or chalet.
