The first thing to know is that the various National Parks and Private concessions are not surrounded by fences. For wildlife there are no man-made borders, this is what makes Botswana so special, and what makes nature untouched. This does not mean that you will have more opportunity to see wildlife in the private concessions, this can be done anywhere. The National Parks, Moremi Game Reserve, Makgadikgadi, Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Nxai Pann and Chobe are accessible to everyone, self drivers, mobile safaris and guests of the lodges. As a result, a National Park can be busier than a Private Concession. There are also slightly more rules in the NPs, the most important of which are: You are not allowed to drive off-road. You have to be back at camp by 6.30pm. No walking safaris are allowed. Most Private Concessions are located in the Okavango Delta and are often only accessible by bushplane or helicopter. Each area or lodge has its own airstrip, so the most remote areas are easily accessible. The boundaries between the various private concessions are also not fenced or indicated. The private concessions are only accessible to guests of the lodges. Because most concessions only have 1, 2 or 3 lodges with an average of only 8 tents, it is quiet and exclusive. All activities you do in these areas are accompanied by the lodge’s great guides. This also means there are more options and fewer rules, the biggest advantages of this are: Activities possible day and night. Off-road driving is allowed. Walking safaris are possible. In short, there are no boundaries for nature in Botswana! The NPs and Private Concession are bursting with wildlife and both offer an unforgettable safari adventure, but enjoy more exclusivity in a private concession.
