Botswana can be as wildly rustic as you've dreamed. As such, preparation should be made to encounter somewhat rough conditions. On the other hand, accommodations and dining can be quite comfortable and casual. Pack neutral colored clothing. Long sleeve shirts (even in summer, they will protect you from the sun and from mosquitoes), t-shirts, shorts or a light skirt, jeans or safari trousers for evenings and cool days, sweater and a warm jacket. A heavy duty, all-weather coat is required for the cold winter months (July to August), but a light, rain coat is better in the summer. Canvas, suede or leather hiking boots that are comfortable is essential. Hats, sunglasses and sun-block lotion are a must for protection against the strong African Sun. Insect repellent is also a good idea. We also recommend good binoculars, a camera with a telephoto lens and plenty of film.

The electrical system is 230 volts, 50hz, so make sure your electrical appliances you bring work with this. Lodges in the more remote areas of Botswana may not have electricity. There may be a generator, but this does not mean there is an electrical outlet in your room.

Consult with your doctor about immunizations required before travel in Africa. Some immunizations require a 6 month program before they become effective. Malaria prophylactics should be taken.

On land
African Explore Safari's makes use of model 110 Land Rovers with V8 and diesel engines and all-wheel drive for the extreme conditions of the Okavango Delta. The vehicle can seat up to six passengers inside and up to six passengers on the roof. The Land Rovers are also equipped with air conditioning, a winch and specially treated mud-track tires to help prevent punctures.

Air
International airlines transport clients from Johannesburg South Africa to Maun. Flights over the Delta can also be arranged with a smaller airline.

Boat
Boat to navigate the vast network of narrow waterways of the Delta, we make use of traditional mokorros (dug-out canoes). These watercraft silently glide through the water allowing you to experience the aquatic wildlife surrounding you. Power boats are available in Moremi and clients can enjoy a sunrise or sunset cruise.
