Luxury Botswana Tours - great wildebeest migration

Luxury Mababe Safaris made for you

Wild, remote and teeming with wildlife

A wildlife enthusiasts dream destination

Botswana’s eastern region of Mababe is a lesser-known and remote haven for a multitude of diverse wildlife and is a true adventure to explore. An area of 50,000 hectares is made up of fascinating ecosystems and rich landscapes; grasslands, wetlands and mopane woodlands are fed constantly by a fresh supply of water from the Mababe river and from the famous Okavango Delta. These waters mean the region remains a nutrient rich and a precious source of life for its many residents.

Not only is the wildlife here diverse, from large predators to rare bird species, it’s also dense. It’s possible to find huge 2000 strong buffalo herds and from December to March massive herds of zebras migrate through the region – providing an incredible natural spectacle, particularly when lions come to hunt in broad daylight. The forests provide cover for the elusive leopards and the fringes of the marsh are the home to many species of birdlife. Other wildlife in the area include hyenas, cheetahs, wild dogs, bat-eared foxes, jackals, African wild cats and servals. To explore the area and uncover its prolific wildlife there’s game drives, bush walks, helicopter rides and a sunken hide at the Wilderness Mokete Camp for secret close encounters with large and small animals.

A word from one of our experts

There are many incredible things about Mababe; remote, wild, filled with wildlife and without doubt one of Botswana’s less-visited destinations - it’s a real hidden gem of a location. Mababe is adventurous and the sort of place where you can completely immerse yourself in nature, away from any crowds and in total peace.
