Overview

Two Botswanas in one week: the dry, open, migratory one, and the permanent water wilderness of the Delta. A twenty minute flight apart and nothing alike.

Leroo La Tau stands on the escarpment above the Boteti River, on the western border of Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. The Boteti is one of the far reaches of the Okavango, where the water filters out into the Kalahari sands; it stopped flowing strongly in 1995 and only came back in 2009. The park holds up to 30,000 zebra and wildebeest, and the predators that follow them. From June to November the dry riverbed is a major migration route, and there is a raised hide above the river for watching it happen.

Then a charter flight to Camp Okavango, on remote Nxaragha Island in the heart of the permanent Delta. Twenty-four guests maximum, eleven safari suites and one family suite on raised platforms under thick Delta vegetation. There are no roads here, so the activities are water-based and on foot: mokoro, boat cruising, guided bush walks, fishing and birding.

The rate is genuinely fully inclusive — meals, drinks including local spirits and wines, laundry, all park fees, airport departure tax, government levies, 12% VAT, and every charter flight.

The high season premium is steep because it is also when the migration is on the Boteti and the Delta flood is at its peak. If your priority is value rather than volume of game, the green season is the better trip. All rates are subject to availability and may change without notice. Terms and conditions apply.

Wonderful experience! Wonderful experience to be up close and personal with the elephants. You can tell they take very good care of the elephants and have taught them good positive reinforcement for behavior.

Wonderful experience but don't try to leave early - surly staff My daughter and I went to this as she was keen to try a mopane worm. Most of the experience was really enjoyable and the food very good. Unfortunately when we left (a little early as my daughter is still young and was tired), the woman at the door (likely realising we would no longer be available to purchase any of the "extras" (drinks/facepainting/n'anga) basically snatched off our sarongs with a very surly expression and no goodbye etc which was really sad as it detracted hugely from our memory of the experience. If not for her, I would have rated 5 stars

Great fun to the beat of the drums Good local cuisine, an entertaining floor show by the percussion-and-dancers ensemble, and providing a conga drum to each guest is a masterly way of inviting audience participation, by adults and children alike. The food is plentiful and varied. Plus a very smooth hotel pick-up and drop-off system. An unintrusive presence by vendors and side entertainers (fortune tellers et al.), quite untypical for a locale that other reviewers have labelled "a tourist trap". All in all, a great night out.

Exceptional service, best local guides for Victoria Falls. Excellent service from the point of contact, airport pick up, activities and the accomodation recommendation was just what we needed for a quick Vic Falls getway. Patrick Manyika was exceptional. Friendly and knowledgeable. More than willing to give us discounts where possible and accomodate our many changes and questions. We will definately book again.
