ON
SAFARI
Mobile safaris are by far, the
best way to take in the beauty of the varied bush
Botswana has to offer. On the ground, up close and
captivated by herds of game as one drives by, Lloyd
offesr unique opportunities for the best photography
or adventures on the move, where one is not dictated
to by time or set routes. Stalking lions take their
time to position so we too, wait patiently for the
hunt to unfold.
Night drives (where allowed) are exciting. There
are many rare nocturnal creatures about that are
seldom seen.
The areas used for mobile safaris may vary according
to local conditions (late rains, flooding, game
concentrations, etc.). We like to reserve flexibility
of destination so as to offer you the optimum conditions
for the duration of your stay. Traveling is in an
open game-viewing vehicle with wide seats and camera
trays. Accommodation is comfortable, in bug-proof
bow tents, folding beds with decent mattresses,
duvets, pillows, sheets, towels, etc. We erect a
double compartment (for dressing) shower and a toilet
at every camp. We sit down to a proper dining table
with china plates and crystal.
Early mornings usually begin with tea or coffee,
fruit, cereals, yoghurt, cheese and bread before
going out on a game drive. We take along a coffee
box for a coffee break half way through the morning
and then return for a full brunch before taking
a siesta through the hottest part of the day.
After a snack of fresh camp bread, cheese board,
chutneys and pickles, we set off at about 3:30 -4:00
pm for the afternoon drive. Depending on the area
(outside of the National Parks or Game Reserves)
we often take a spotlight with us and return after
dark to see a bit of the wildlife at night. Dinner
is served with a good choice of red or white wines.
And the ice bucket is always there. Our staff are
well trained and do all the hard work for us (you
do not have to participate in the erection of the
camp or other camp duties).
