More of us are making conscious decisions about travelling in a more eco-friendly, impactful, and ethical way. We want to connect with nature, with communities, and get a deeper understanding of the places we visit.

Natural Selection are proud to introduce their new 8-day Botswana Conservation Itinerary for those of you not only wanting a rich safari experience, but also wanting to see first-hand how responsible tourism can positively impact conservation and communities.

This conservation focused trip will take you deep into the heart of their sustainable safari operation, where you’ll stay at 3 of their luxury camps – Meno a Kwena, Little Sable and Mapula - and get greater insight into 5 projects they are involved in, and how they help protect some of Africa’s last great wild places.

Your trip will be privately guided by a specialist guide, with deep experience in conservation and a passion about sharing their knowledge and wisdom with you.

We believe this trip will inspire you and give you a better understanding into how, together, we are helping to protect beautiful Botswana and its people.

Incredible sighting on Chapmans Peak Drive of a Caracal.

Talk about a scenic sighting! 🌄

This caracal was spotted on Chapman’s Peak Drive this morning. We urge drivers to be extra careful when driving this route — there have been many sightings of caracals crossing this road. They are likely moving across to hunt the rock hyrax and seabirds on the cliffs below the road 🛣🌊

One of my favourite types of properties is an exclusive use property, especially when travelling with friends and family (and kids of course). You get an entire experience all to yourselves, but you also get to just relax and enjoy time together without having to constantly cook and clean (they all come with housekeepers). Many of these places can be taken on a self catering basis, but there is always the option of a private cook/chef which allows you to spend that precious time with the people you love. We have compiled a very comprehensive list of all our favourite exclusive use lodges throughout Southern Africa which can either be stayed in as an alternative to an Airbnb, guest house and hotel OR you can build an entire trip utilising all the amazing exclusive use properties we have throughout Southern Africa. Below are pictures of one of the latest editions to the Exclusive use offering in South Africa called Simbavati Homestead in the Klaserie Private Game Reserve which borders the Kruger Park.

We really love an authentic experience and recently we have been adding the amazing Africamps products to our itineraries. They have camps set up in many of South Africa's hot spots so they either make a nice down to earth addition to an itinerary or an entire itinerary could be built using just their camps if luxury camping is totally your thing. The tents can sleep 5 people, have kitted kitchens, big showers, beautiful decks, braais and selected properties even have hot tubs. The best part is that they are excellent value for money, so you can stay longer for less!!

Sleep outs are becoming more and more popular as they are perfect for those wanting to just dip their toes in the adventure pool and have a truly authentic safari experience. They are always combined with a more luxury lodge stay as the sleep outs are always offered as an additional activity at a particular lodge. The Kruger in South Africa has a great variety of sleep outs, but they are offered in Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique and Namibia. Find the comprehensive list of lodges with sleep out activities in the link below (Camp Okavango to follow shortly, we are just waiting on imagery).
