Kampeersafari Botswana 17 dagen
€2.630,00 p.p.
Deze kampeersafari Botswana duurt 17 dagen. Met een kleine groep, maximaal 12 personen, reis je avontuurlijk door Central Kahalahri Game Reserve, Okavango Delta, Chobe en Moremi. De reis wordt begeleid door een lokale Engels sprekende gids en een assistent. Je slaapt in kleine koepeltentjes midden in de bush, de campsites zijn niet omheind. De kampeersafari is op basis van semi-particitpatie. Dit betekent dat de staff kookt, afwast en schoonmaakt, maar de reizigers helpen met het uitpakken van de truck en het opzetten en afbreken van de tenten. Je hoeft verder alleen maar te genieten.
