Under One Botswana Sky introduces game drives at Moremi Crossing and Gunn's Camp
Under One Botswana Sky is extremely excited to announce the immediate introduction of game drives at both Moremi Crossing and Gunn’s Camp.
With water levels lower than usual there are greater expanses of unexplored land mass within our concession that offer perfect opportunities for great game driving.
This new additional activity will be available during the drier cycles when water activities may become more limited. In high water our guests will once again get to enjoy very popular mekoro, boat cruises and fishing for the ultimate Delta experience.
Walking Safaris on the famous Chief’s Island in the Moremi Game Reserve, as well as within the concession, in combination with seasonal mekoro remain the highlight and a year-round activity.
The introduction of game drives adds even more value to these well priced Delta camps popular with smaller groups, families or travelers looking for more intimate Delta experience.
Points to note:
° Game drives started today
° Game drives take place in a private concession
° Morning and late afternoon drives with sundowners
° Gunn’s Camp maximum 6 guests per vehicle
° Moremi Crossing maximum 9 guests per vehicle
° No private vehicle option
° Game drives are offered as one activity only per night’s stay
In addition, this is the only area where guests can book “a night or 2 in the wilderness” – an adventurous and rustic experience in our bush camp – Adventure Camping. This is now available year round and must be prebooked. The nights spent in the wilderness must be in between at least one night at Gunn’s Camp/Moremi Crossing on either side of the camping.
