I lived in Maun for four years with the Peace Corps in the mid-1970s - - - - loved the Okavango. Mostly, I loved the Botswana people!! I hope to return to my village while my health is still decent.
I will be going to Botwana in November.... Do you recommend warmer clothing for the evenings? Also , is it worth carrying binoculars ? Loved the music in your video
We were there at the very end of October and it was still warm in the evenings, and definitely did not need any warmer clothes. I imagine it’s not too much difference in November. I would recommend bringing some binoculars. Nothing too fancy or expensive, we bought a pair of Amazon for about £30 and they worked just fine! Hope you enjoy your trip!!
Hi Amy! Loved your awesome Safari video in the delta... Kudos to your cameraman! Just subscribed and 👍 going to watch your Albania video as coincidentally I went there last year also! We might have passed each other somewhere.. thanks and Happy Trails! Gary 😃
Great video and you got to see so much amazing wildlife! Thanks for sharing - I'm only just starting my research for a 2026 trip but can you tell me if it is possible to get vegetarian food at the lodge?
Thank you so much! We are pescatarian and the lodge were so accommodating with our food needs and the food was incredible! So no issue at all for vegetarians! Can’t recommend the place we stayed enough!
Very nicely done! 👍 I was there way back in 1998 on a 10 day tour (which included 3 days in Zimbabwe at Victoria Falls). Chobe National Park, Moremi Game Reserve, and the Savuti Marsh area. The camps/lodges were very similar to yours (quality of accommodations, etc.). “If there were one more thing I could do, it would be to go on safari once again.” - Karen Blixen, _Out Of Africa_ Cheers! 🙂
Greta video! My wife and I are going next year and you have certainly increased our excitement. There is one question that perhaps you can help with. What was the story on luggage in small plane that brought you to the camp? Thanks if you can help.
Thank you so much. You will have an incredible time so definitely get excited! :) We didnt actually take a small plane to the camp. We flew into Maun and the lodge picked us up from there in a jeep. It was a 2hr drive to the lodge but you saw animals on the way, so not a bad journey at all. We just stayed at the one lodge to limit travel and maximise our time. Hope that helps!
We went twice in 2022. Small planes really want and need your luggage to be soft-sided and light. We were given (and met) a weight limit of 33 lbs per person, including camera gear. We each used a 40 liter duffle (from Eagle Creek) plus a soft (but firm) camera bag. No wheels if at all possible. Anything like that makes it harder to fit bags into the small holds. Since all camps do laundry (included), you don't need lots of clothing. Some of the small planes hold up to 12 passengers, while others are 4 to 6 passengers.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. We are interested in doing the Okavango Delta, stayingat Mogotlho. We're you able to visit Okavango by staying at Mogotlho? Appreciate your advice. Many thanks. Rosieter from the Netherlands
You are most welcome! Staying in the lodge came with 2x game drives (morning and late afternoon) and they took you around the private game reserve they are on, plus the wider Okavango region! You will definitely experience the Delta staying here! You will have an incredible time! If you do stay let them know I said hi!
@JourneyswithLeJune Thank you so much for the information you provided, this is what I need. We hope to stay in Mogotlho and this is bcuz of your video. I will surely mention you to them, if our plans push through. Have a blast traveling and showing us the wonderful places you visit through your vlogs. Cheers!

What an experience that must have been! I hope you are able to return! Truly an incredible place!
Botswana has been on my must see list for some time. Nice to see another option for safaris and lodging. Thanks for sharing.
You are most welcome! Highly recommend where I stayed! It was incredible!
Great video ❤️ And Nice music selection 🔥😭💛

The Delta is the most beautiful place in Africa! Dream trip.
It was truly beautiful and I will definitely be returning!
Water Buffalo- what a surprise ! Only ever seen in Asia- BTW

@@caroldavis4560 thanks. Commando it is!
We were gone for 4-5 weeks and it was perfectly doable.

@@rosieternl3609 so happy to help! Good luck with your planning! Really hope you get to stay there!
Hi. Thanks for that beautiful report. Best regards
Happy you enjoyed it! Thank you!
It so beautiful! I bet that single tourists fall in love with each other on a Safari like this?
It honestly was the trip of a lifetime, and loved every second of it!!
Some tourists fall in love with the staff ,isn't love beautiful, because the heart does what it likes, all protocols broken.
Amy, Thankyou for this. Did you do chobe as well ?
Most welcome! We only stayed here so unfortunately didn’t get to experience Chobe.
Botswana is the best Destination for Tourist
I loved it! Will definitely be back one day!
Beautiful Safari Lodge, how much would it cost for the 2 of us including game drives?
We paid about $2000 per person, and that’s all inclusive 4 days/3 nights. We booked through Indigo Safaris. Highly recommend them!
What about Tips? Do you tip the jeep drivers?@@JourneyswithLeJune
@@ssap3717our guide was our driver. So we definitely did tip him. From the other tours we saw the drivers were the guides as well!

You are most welcome and thanks for the comment 🙏🏻! Brazil is on my list of places to visit and look forward to seeing it! ❤️
CHABWINO 👌 BOTSWANA 🇧🇼 TWAHLUMBHA 👍🇿🇲
How much was the cost for safari please
We paid around $2000 per person.
Nicely done 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thank you. 🙏🏻
Great madam 👏👏
Thank you!
Not really water buffalo: those don't exist in Africa. That is a Cape Buffalo, in the water.
Totally realised this mistake a little too late after filming 🫣! Oops! Won’t make that mistake again 😉
Nice however too many selfies. Would be better if there was more focus on animals instead. Just my humble opinion.
Well stay tuned, will be doing an animal only video of the trip soon. 😁
Not another tank!
Welcome to kenya
I hope to visit there soon!
Stopped watching at..waterbuffallo...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know lesson learned right! I got it wrong and realised a bit too late. 🫣
