Overview
Orient-Express Safaris is comprised of three unique safari camps in Botswana, all offering unparalleled opportunities to view multiple species of big game and bird life in their natural habitat. The three camps include Eagle Island Camp, Khwai River Lodge and Savute Elephant Camp and are located in their own unique ecosystem, making a visit to all three camps well worthwhile. All camps are operated as a collective venture, making transportation between them seamless. Meals, return transportation from Maun or Kasane Airports, and all safari activities are included in the room rates. Accommodations are in spacious elevated luxury air-conditioned tents, each with its own large deck, ideal for viewing local wildlife.
Khwai River Lodge - nestle on the edge of a forest overlooking the vast floodplains of the Moremi Wildlife Reserve. Known for its exceptional range of big game, a host of animals are visible from the comfort of your own private deck at this luxury safari camp.
Savute Elephant Camp - known for the herds of elephants that can be spotted roaming its plains. Other large animals also gather here to slake their thirst, especially now that the intermittent Savute Channel has started flowing after an absence of nearly 30 years.
Eagle Island Camp in Botswana’s Okavango Delta is situated on remote Xaxaba Island among a web of waterways and lush vegetation. It overlooks a lagoon that attracts a breathtaking variety of big game and exotic birds. Explore the region by local canoe, set out on a game drive or roam on foot. -
