Join us for an immersive private mobile photo safari through two of Botswana’s most wildlife-rich regions: the Mababe Concession and the Khwai Private Reserve, on the edge of the Okavango Delta. Traveling with purpose-built mobile tented camps, we’ll follow the rhythms of the land rather than a fixed lodge schedule, allowing us to be in the right place at the right time for exceptional wildlife encounters. July is peak dry season, with clear skies, cool mornings, and increasing concentrations of animals along permanent water sources, making it one of the most rewarding times of year for photography in northern Botswana.
Our journey, curated by Natural World Safaris, begins in the Mababe Concession, a diverse and under-photographed area linking Chobe and the Okavango, known for its open floodplains, riverine forests, and dramatic predator activity. From there, we move south into the Khwai Private Reserve, where seasonal waterways, lagoons, and mopane woodlands create classic Okavango scenery and extraordinary photographic opportunities. With flexible daily schedules, exclusive off-road access, and expert local guides working alongside dedicated photographic instruction from Michael Turek and Peter Dooling, this safari is designed to maximize time in the field, morning, afternoon, and night, while offering the comfort and intimacy of a thoughtfully run mobile camp. This is Botswana at its most authentic: wild, remote, and deeply rewarding for photographers seeking both iconic moments and meaningful time in remarkable places.
