A range of tent comfort levels is available, from basic to premium. On this tour, you'll stay in comfortable Meru tents with en-suite beds and private bush bathrooms. Your safari team will handle tent setup and takedown, allowing you to focus entirely on the breathtaking game drives and the pristine wilderness of Botswana.
