Other Adventures in the Okavango

The Selinda Adventure Trail, by Great Plains Conservation.

The Selinda Adventure Trail is an exploration safari charting a 4-day / 3-night course along the Selinda Spillway, an ancient waterway that links the Okavango Delta with the Linyanti wetlands, flowing through the remote woodlands of the 130,000 hectare Selinda Reserve. Along the route expect to come across the diverse species that inhabit the reserve from some of Botswana’s largest herds of buffalo and elephant to wildebeest, zebra, roan antelope and maybe even a lion, leopard or African wild dog.

Khwai Community Concession Xwabaxwa Camp

Khwai Community Concession Xwabaxwa Campsite Khwai is divided into two areas, the Moremi Game Reserve side and the Community Concession side and its this Community side that we will focus on here. Unlike the Moremi side you don't have to pay any Park fees to Explore this side of Khwai, However you will need to find a Campsite of which there are a few options.  My go to Camp is a very Affordable Campsite Named Xwabaxwa. situated next to the river under large leadwood trees these campsites are large and very private, being well spaced from each other hidden in the riverine forests, here Elephants, Buffalo and Hippo quietly move through the camps and at night the frogs sing in the reedy lagoons only silenced by the roar of the ever roaming lions of Khwai. The Ablutions are Rustic but clean with flush loos and fire heated hot water showers.  I absolutely love this camp and would highly recommend so here is the link to their website and disclaimer I am not affiliated or paid to write

Okavango Gin

Okavango Gin No Botswana adventure is complete without an iced G&T at sunset. It’s one of my favourite parts of a safari, it combines the social aspect with the beauty of the wild surroundings.  Since it’s creation, we have been proud advocates of Okavango Gin. Made exclusively in Botswana, a mix of classic juniper berries and the secret ingredient, seeds of Mopane tree, along with crystal filtered Okavango water. Apparently the elephants are not the only Mopane lovers around here! Okavango Gin&Tonic with wild sage The distillery is off the grid, hidden somewhere in the depths of the Okavango, traditionally made with local hands. Established in 2018 it endured Covid, alcohol bans, more covid and more alcohol bans, yet, it is finally available in Maun to buy.  Okavango Gin has won multiple awards including a double gold medal award in the San Francisco world spirits competition. It really shows the high quality of flavour that this small off grid distillery has to offer.   Sundo
