The Botswana Safari I dreamed of!

"Luxurious and beautiful! The warm and hospitable Team at Qorokwe are the heart and soul of this lovely camp. Mike, our Ranger would ask for our "wishlist" in the morning and try his hardest to get us a spectacular sighting. Elephants, lions, hippos, honey badgers, buffalo, zebra, incredible birds...Don't miss out on the Mokoro experience on the Delta! Many thanks to Bisto and the hard-working Staff. We loved our time here. Highly recommended."

Can't wait to return!

"My husband and I spent 8 nights in Botswana – 4 nights at Qorokwe and 4 nights at another camp (non-Wilderness), so we benefited from a head-to-head comparison with another safari company. We would not hesitate to return to Qorokwe. The Wilderness team was professional, conscientious, and accommodating on all accounts. They handled all logistics from the moment we landed at Maun Airport to begin our safari to the moment we returned to Maun and departed for Johannesburg. (Flight from Maun to Qorokwe was about 15 minutes.) While there are limitations as to how luxurious any camp in the Okavango can be, our experience at Qorokwe was stellar."

★★★★★

Qorokwe quality is outstanding

"Qorokwe is a 35-minute flight Maun. The camp itself is stunning and overlooks two large lagoons. From the deck of our tented room, we could see zebras, elephants, wildebeests, baboons, impala, and an assortment of fabulous water birds. Alan was our stupendous guide! We walked with Alan. We fished with Alan. And of course, we rode with Alan on game drives that were spectacular. Wildlife does as it wishes, and there is never any guarantee of what mother nature will choose to reveal to you. We firmly believe that if you are appreciative of everything mother nature’s generosity is boundless. It also helps to have an incredible guide with extensive skills, that was Alan to a “T”. "
