Beagle Expeditions Botswana - Luxury Holidays & Concierge Travel

The Okavango Delta is one of the last pristine wilderness areas on earth.

"With no roads or people for miles in any direction, Beagle Expeditions turn the very notion of safari on its head. From your helicopter, you have an unsurpassed bird’s eye view of the wildlife and tracking becomes a completely different and utterly flexible experience. The wildlife barely look up as the helicopter deftly manoeuvres across rugged landscapes where herds of plains game, lumbering elephants and big cats are unperturbed."

Untrodden Journeys

To reach this uninhabited wilderness, take a helicopter flight from Maun directly into Beagle Expeditions’ home – a 75,000-acre private concession in the far western reaches of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Beagle is only accessible for small, private groups, so you will enjoy an exclusive safari experience, at your own pace in this diverse ecosystem. Days are spent with Beagle’s profoundly knowledgeable and good-humoured guides, exploring on foot, 4×4 or typically with a bird’s eye view on a unique ‘doors-off’ helicopter safari.

Stripped-Back Safari

"Stripped back to the very essence of the delta, Beagle Expeditions is a truly unforgettable and authentic safari wilderness experience.”

Kweene Trails, Beagle Expeditions’ camp is a return to authentic safari – pared back, real and designed to facilitate an immersive experience in its purest form. The lightweight camp is charmingly simple with ‘old-school style’ ensuite canvas tents, fine Egyptian cotton bedding, hot bucket showers and a simple mess tent for mealtimes. The food is delicious but simple, sourced locally and cooked on an open fire. Early morning and evenings are spent relaxing around the fire, to either discuss the morning activities or to round off the day. You’ll quickly fall into a rhythm dictated to by nature and the simple pleasures of life in the bush punctuated by extreme safari adventures by helicopter with an unrivalled perspective on game and their movements.

Wild Wonders

The diverse wildlife of the Okavango Delta is surprisingly unaffected by the nimble helicopters, meaning you are free and flexible to drop right down into the action occurring in its unique ecosystem. From your helicopter vantage point, circle a land unrecognisable from the usual seat in the 4×4. See how the pattern of riverbeds fan out to meet the Kalahari sands and magnetic waterholes pull in a wide range of animals. Your guides are adept at spotting activity – you might land metres away from a pack of wild dog, with a prime spot to watch them frolicking on a dry riverbed or track a lioness hunting in real time, something that’s simply not possible in a vehicle. This is pure unfiltered safari and a rare chance to see nature, uninterrupted.
