6 lodges found for walking in Botswana

Motsentsela Tree Lodge Maun, Botswana
Motsentsela is a great lodge for stretching your legs. They have three walking trails which range from 30 minutes to 1 ½ hours. The trails are well marked and perfectly safe to explore on your own. There are waterholes for game viewing (provided that you approach quietly) and there's also a hide if you'd like to sit and take things easy. - View lodge details

Footsteps Okavango Delta Safari Reserves, Botswana
Footsteps is primarily a walking camp, which employs excellent experienced walking guides. Walks tend to focus on the small things and you will learn about the plant-life, how to read the tracks and signs left by animals, and all about the Delta's fascinating ecosystem. Wherever possible you will keep a respectful distance from the big game! - View lodge details

San Camp Kalahari's Salt Pans, Botswana
Though San Camp is in a harsh and dry environment, we really enjoyed a walk with the San bushmen here - which was magical. They led us out across the grasslands, and we stopped to look at bushes and trees that had medicinal qualities, and to dig for various roots and tubers which could be eaten, or stored water inside them. - View lodge details

Chitabe walking trail Okavango Delta Safari Reserves, Botswana
Learn about the history of the landscapes, and about the smaller things including plant-life and insects. Getting too close to big game is not the idea - you will learn about tracking animals and reading their spore and about the smaller creatures that often go unnoticed, but form a vital part of the larger ecosystem. - View lodge details

Baines' Camp Okavango Delta Safari Reserves, Botswana
This is a beautiful area for walking and both the camps' guides are qualified to lead walking safaris. You will focus on the small things which make up the complex ecology of the area - the local plant-life, insects, birds and smaller animals, as well as the various footprints you will come across! - View lodge details

Kanana Okavango Delta Safari Reserves, Botswana
Kanana camp offers bush walks with an experienced and armed guide for those guests who wish to get a little closer to nature. Usually taken in the morning (when it's cooler), these walks follow old hippo-paths through the bush and aim to give guests a deeper understanding of their environment. - View lodge details
