If you're looking for a safari that feels truly off-grid and deeply connected to nature, Beagle Expeditions delivers something rare.
Location: Placed deep within the private Abu concession, in Botswana's Okavango Delta and accessible by helicopter only, Beagle Expeditions offers something truly rare: a remote safari experience, far from the beaten path. You’ll journey along the seasonal Kweene River between two private mobile camps - one on open floodplains, the other in lush seasonal swamps - on foot, by game vehicle or mokoro canoe. We love how raw and untamed it feels out here, with wildlife moving freely and the rhythms of the bush setting the pace.
Rooms: The camps are deliberately simple, with six classic Meru-style tents that strike just the right balance between comfort and wilderness immersion. Think soft linen, hot bucket showers under the stars, and canvas walls that let the sounds of the wild drift in at night. There's no Wi-Fi, no frills, just the essentials, done well. Guests often tell us it feels like real, old-school safari, reimagined with warmth and thoughtfulness.
Amenities: There’s a lovely ease to camp life. A communal dining area, a canvas lounge with scatter cushions and a well-stocked bar, a firepit for swapping stories under the stars. Meals are wholesome and generous, often cooked over the fire and shared beneath the stars. There's a welcoming, communal atmosphere that feels more like eating with friends than a formal sit-down.
Activities: Days here are immersive and fluid. You’ll head out on game drives, walk with experienced guides, paddle quietly through the reeds by mokoro when water levels allow, or take to the skies in a doors-off helicopter. One highlight is ‘moving day’, a full-day journey to the next camp by foot, mokoro or vehicle, with a picnic and sundowners en route. It’s the kind of adventure that stays with you.
Sustainability: Beagle Expeditions camps are solar-powered and low-impact, with composting toilets, reusable water bottles, and zero trace left behind. What’s more, part of your stay directly supports the Wild Entrust predator conservation project, the Habu Elephant Development Trust (HEDT), as well as several brilliant community initiatives in and around the Habu Village.
