This is as way off the beaten track as it gets.

Join us on this amazing tour and tick off Hunters Road from your bucket list with things most other people only dream about…… This is one special tour to places others only dream of.

The first – and most lasting impressions – will be of vast expanses of uninhabited wilderness stretching from horizon to horizon, the sensation of limitless space, astoundingly rich wildlife and bird viewing, night skies littered with stars and heavenly bodies of an unimaginable brilliance and stunning sunsets of unearthly beauty. This all makes for world-class photography.

Botswana is well known for having some of the best wilderness and wildlife areas on the African continent. With a full 38 percent of its total land area devoted to national parks, reserves and wildlife management areas – for the most part unfenced, allowing animals to roam wild and free – travel through many parts of the country has the feeling of moving through an immense nature wonderland.

Driving off-road through the bush of Botswana, camping in the middle of nature and Africa’s wild animals: this is the true spirit of Botswana.

Adventure Itinerary

Day 1: Francistown

We meet up at a lodge close to the border on the night before the tour starts, to be confirmed. This tour is for the adventurous. Each vehicle will be supplied with a radio for en route communication.

We will do a stop en route to purchase meat and greens.

We will camp our first night at a lodge outside Francistown on grassed campsites, this beautiful retreat is well known for its picturesque photography. Whilst sitting around the campfire we will discuss what to expect over the next few days. This is an unknown section of Hunters that no one else does. Breakfast is on Trans Africa just before we leave for Hunters’.

Day 2 Hunters’ Road

We will “Wild Camp” on this road like the explorers of old. There are some feelings of nostalgia when camping on this road like the old hunters and explorers of the previous century. This is big 5 country and we must be alert at all times.

Day 3 & 4: Elephant Sands

Enjoy viewing the elephants at a natural waterhole right in front of the lodge. Watch these impressive creatures whilst they drink only a couple of meters away from you, a unique experience! There is plenty of other wildlife around as well on our unfenced 16000 ha private conservancy. The lack of fences allows all animals to roam freely.

We will spend the time exploring the park and taking pictures or just relax in the camp trying to take that million-dollar elephant close-up photo. They have a resident pack of 18 wild dogs and we might be lucky enough to spot them.

Day 5 & 6: Hunters Road

The Hunters Road – a romantic name for what is still a romantic place. The country on either side of that track is still as wild as when Selous hunted here. Explorers, hunters, and traders all made tracks towards the Falls and before long a wagon road ran from the south. The Old Hunters’ Road, as it became known, now forms the border between Botswana and Zimbabwe.

Day 7 & 8: Kasane

We will arrive early in Kasane. This will give us the opportunity to do laundry, replenish supplies and do some sightseeing of which this town has more than enough.

This is a photographer’s dream cruise with the guide taking you up close and personal with the animals.
