Concession Renewal...

We would also like to announce that we have secured our lease agreement with the government giving us our private concession for a further 15 years and renewable for another 15 years thereafter. This is great news as it guarantees that we will be able to keep our concession as pristine as it currently is with our commitment to low impact and environmentally friendly practises.

Sleeping Out...

With floods in the Okavango Delta at the highest level in 30 years, the tree house has proven to be very popular. It's an ideal spot for a sleep out or even a bush dinner.

There is no better way to enjoy the African bush at night time than up in the trees!

News from our resident wildlife...

Bongwe, one of our lead guides, has had some amazing game viewing experiences. After tracking some Buffalo (which as usual he found!), he could not understand why the buffalo was so intently looking up the tree. After a while the reason moved, it was a lion. We have never before seen lion behaviour like this from horseback. Have a close look at the picture.

The boat has been a real winner recently and will continue to be for the rest of the season. Giving us some fantastic game viewing and fishing opportunities for the riders and non-riders alike.

African Horseback Safaris have been making the press all over the world, have a look at the following articles published this month:
