Mobile Safaris
Our contemporary interpretation of the early explorers’ expeditions, where “luxury” is
defined by the experience of exclusivity and the overwhelming feeling of being
surrounded by kilometres of unexplored bush teeming with wildlife. The light of a
campfire to provide you with warmth after sunset, millions of stars for a ceiling and the
sounds of wilderness to accompany your dreams.
Our Mobile Safaris begin where the beaten roads end. Our expert guides will lead you
to discover the best, most secluded and wildest areas of the National Parks. You will
live an unforgettable experience in close contact with the most pristine African nature,
hundreds of kilometres away from civilisation as you know it.
Our Mobile Safaris use specially modified 4x4 vehicles that can host up to 9
passengers plus 2 staff members and that guarantee excellent visibility to all
participants during game-viewing activities. All vehicles have sides made of canvas
that can be closed during transfers to offer better protection from the wind and
completely removed during game-viewing activities.
Nights during Mobile Safaris can be either camping or lodging. Each safari is guided
by a professional local guide (English speaking) and a chef, to maximise your
experience.
Our Mobile Safaris are usually “Non-Participative“: guests don’t have to worry about
any of the bothering activities usually associated with camping (such as setting up and
taking down tents, stretcher beds, cooking or cleaning). Safari Vehicle Camping in Lower Zambezi
Camping is done in large sized (3x3x2mt) dome tents equipped with stretcher beds or
mattresses and sleeping bags, while lodging safaris make use of strategically located,
comfortable, mid-range accommodations. Meals are prepared by our accompanying
chef directly on the campfire inside the National Parks, while your guides will be able to
indicate the best restaurants for you to eat in every major city.

Choice of the destination
Zambia:
Zambia is one of the most uncontaminated countries of the region, both from a naturalistic and
cultural perspective. Zambian National Parks are among the less touristic parks of all Africa, still
largely wild and unexplored: for these reasons they are considered the best National Parks for game-
viewing activities. In Zambia, thanks to the scarce presence of tourists and the extraordinary
abundance of wildlife, you will live unforgettable experiences in direct contact with nature and really
close encounters with untamed wildlife. Zambian National Parks are among the best preserved in
Africa and every year they win international awards such as “Park with the lowest CO2 footprint
worldwide” and “Most eco-sustainable Park in Africa”. Zambia is also the country that offers the
widest range of game-viewing activities: Game-drives, walking safaris, night-drives, canoe safaris,
boat safaris, etc. and is considered heaven for leopards lovers and birdwatchers, due to their
abundances and ease of sighting. From a cultural standpoint, Zambian population is very open and
friendly and this country offers genuine local interactions without risks or hassles. However, Zambia is
also a very vast country so, unfortunately, travelling by road between National Parks and other
touristic attractions can involve long transfers. Moreover, the wild conditions of its Parks and roads
can really take a toll on the vehicles, so it’s always necessary to carry your sense of adventure with
you.
Most suitable for:
Real adventurers, people wishing to live extraordinary safari experiences. Real wildlife lovers
(especially felines) who do not want a Safari “suitable for everyone”. Those who are not afraid of
facing long road transfers in order to live more genuine and uncontaminated wilderness experiences.
Those travellers with a sense of adventure who do not get turned down by potential hiccups along the
way.
Less suitable for:
People who prefer short transfers and mainly on tarmac road. Those who are afraid of travelling in
areas with no phone signal. Those who cannot give up electricity not even for a day or two.
Botswana:
Universally renown as the African country that hosts the largest elephant population, Botswana sets
the scene for unforgettable adventures far from the more touristic destinations. Nature in Botswana,
green and rich in the northern region and desert and arid in the Kalahari and the Pans, is wild and
extremely well kept, even though in the latest years some areas have opened to more mass-tourism.
Mobile Safaris conducted in the northern regions of the country offer the possibility to conduct “wild
