The Selinda Reserve
Drives, walks, tracking and boats on the Spillway, for wild dog, sable and roan, lion and large herds of elephant.

Duba Plains
A light aircraft to the reserve. Boats down the quiet channels, drives by day and night in high-clearance vehicles built for the floodplains, riding, fishing and birding.
Where you stay
Duba Plains Camp
Duba Plains Camp is built on a wooded island joined to the reserve by bridges, with five tents and the two-bedroom Duba Plains Suite on raised decks over the floodplain, each with a plunge pool.

Days 7 to 10 · three nights
Moremi Game Reserve
A last light aircraft into Moremi. Sitatunga in the papyrus, lion and leopard sometimes seen from the footbridge between the islands, and Pel's fishing owl among the birds.
Where you stay
Xigera Safari Lodge
Xigera is set deep in the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta, almost hidden under a canopy of indigenous trees, and runs on solar power. Its 12 suites and a two-bedroom family suite are each designed individually, with copper fireplaces and sculptural furniture, and contemporary art fills the lodge.
Ways to make it yours
- A shorter version, six nights: Duba Plains and Moremi only.
This is a sample. The hotels, the pace and the order are where we start, not where we finish: every journey is designed around the people taking it.
Made around you
Most travel is bought. This is designed.
Before anything is booked, we talk: who is travelling, how you like to spend a morning, and the hotel preferences below the obvious, from the kind of bath you like to the time you wake and how much daylight you need in a room. You see options where options matter and clean recommendations where they don't.
The same person remains your point of contact from the first reply to the trip after next. No handovers. No team.
