Family Botswana Adventure 11 days

Along the cracked and crop-less landscape on the road between Maun and Francistown you will find the intriguingly named Planet Baobab camp, the Baobab capital of the world where the average age of each tree is 4000 years.

At Planet Baobab you will find the largest and coolest pool in the Kalahari and the funkiest bar, a well known watering hole for travellers of every description and colourful characters from throughout Maun, plus a beautiful restaurant serving interesting and delicious dishes from all across Africa.

There are a number of accommodation options including traditionally styled Bakalanga or Baobab huts with en-suite showers, dome tents with fully made up stretcher beds or you can even pitch your own tent or park your own 4x4 in our shady campsite.

A stay at Planet Baobab is one full of fun, relaxation and adventure. You can spend your evenings round a camp fire or the communal blaze in the lelwapa enjoying a cool drink, and spend your days getting up close and personal with super-friendly habituated meerkats, touring the local village and learning about Batswana culture, visiting a local cattle post or visiting Nxai Xini Pan to seek out ancient stone tools and fossils.

You could quad bike across the Makgadikgadi Pans n the dry season, sleeping under the stars or take a 5 night quad bike expedition to the remote and mysterious Kubu Island.

During the wet season see can see the spectacular migration which is host to between 35-75000 zebra and wildebeest, Southern Africa’s last and little-known annual migration.

Botswana has the largest variety of mammals in Africa & the Kalahari is the desert with the greatest species diversity in the world.

Located on Pom Pom Island in a private concession in the heart of the Okavango Delta, this beautiful camp offers superb scenery and a true Okavango wilderness experience in one of the last remaining unspoiled wilderness areas of Africa.

Lying on the western boundary of the Moremi Game Reserve the camp is situated on the head waters of the Xudum river system and therefore lends itself to a range of water-based safari activities.

Accommodation is provided in 9 luxury safari tents which have been decorated in traditional safari style and which have en-suite facilities, large comfortable beds and decks with beautiful views over the Pom Pom lagoon.

The attractive main building is constructed of thatch and canvas and houses a welcoming lounge, dining and bar area along with a gift shop, outdoor boma and a luxurious swimming pool.

Unlike many of the camps in the Okavango Delta Pom Pom Camp is able to offer game drives due to it being positioned on its own concession area. Morning and evening game drives will give you the opportunity to view all the big game and night life of this intriguing environment. Mokoro (traditional dug out canoe) excursions are also available where you can glide through the waterways with a professional guide who will teach you about the waterways and the unique habitats that reside there. Fishing is also very popular and your guides will be able to tell you the very best spots.
