QUAD BIKING IN THE MAKGADIKGADI SALT PANS
A Quad Bike Safari in Botswana is fast becoming an experience at the top of most travellers’ bucket lists. Loved for being an exhilarating, unconventional way in which to explore Botswana, a quad bike safari entails all the luxuries of a classic Safari, but with a twist of adventure. Travel at your own pace by day and sleep under the stars of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans at night – a truly authentic African travel experience.
The experience
7 Day Quad Bike Safari covers ground in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and Kubu Island. On your safari you will encounter the magnificent wildlife that roams the vast plains of Botswana but you will also have the privilege of meeting the Kalahari Bushmen and learning about their way of life.
Although some travellers might be sceptical of the level of comfort that a quad bike safari might offer, we can assure you that world class accommodation, cuisine and amenities await. While you get the chance to be active and outdoors, your luxury camp also gives you the opportunity to spend your time at leisure: practicing yoga, enjoying an afternoon high tea or simply spending time in the library with your book and the silence of magical Botswana.
From San Camp you will venture into the expansive salt pan on your quad bike expedition to Kubu Island. On your journey you will stop for sundowners and have the chance to watch a Botswana sunset that you will never forget.
Your accommodation
On your 7 day quad bike safari you will stay in style at San Camp – a minimalistic cluster of white tents scattered across the mysterious Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, with an air of romance and safari elegance. Each luxury tent is sheltered by desert palm trees, giving you the utmost privacy when you settle in for the day.
The property also features a small natural history museum, a library, a tea tent and a tented yoga pavilion, perfect for a sunrise or sunset meditation session. If you want to explore further, you can visit the site of Chapman’s Baobab, spend time with the Zu/’hoasi Bushmen, track the brown hyena or visit a group of habituated meerkats.
