Adventure operator andBeyond bolsters Botswana offering

Luxury adventure operator andBeyond has expanded its Botswana portfolio with the launch of two new camps.

Based in the Okavango Delta, &Beyond Sandibe Under Canvas and &Beyond Nxabega Under Canvas offer an “intimate experience” with three tents and a maximum of six guests per camp.

Together with the operator’s newly refurbished &Beyond Chobe Under Canvas camp, the new additions complete “a seamless seven-night circuit through Botswana’s most iconic wild places”.

&Beyond Sandibe Under Canvas is set within one of the delta’s most wildlife-rich concessions, offering guests the chance to see lions, leopards, cheetahs, and wild dogs.  They will also be able to enjoy game drives, walking safaris and community visits.

Further west at &Beyond Nxabega Under Canvas, guests can join sailings on a traditional mokoro canoe, catch-and-release fishing excursions and land-based game drives.

The camps have been designed for “minimal impact” and utilise shared logistics with neighbouring lodges to “minimise” environmental footprint, while Wild Impact, andBeyond’s community and conservation partner, will support employment, mentorship and conservation awareness in the nearby communities.

Tents at both &Beyond Sandibe Under Canvas and &Beyond Nxabega Under Canvas feature super king beds, double showers, standing fans, running water and Wi-Fi in a first for the Botswana Under Canvas offering.

Riaan Venter, andBeyond southern Africa regional manager, said: “Our new Botswana Under Canvas camps celebrate safari in its purest form. They are intimate, low-impact and deeply connected to place, and the experience is raw, personal and deeply immersive.

“The luxuries here are the thoughtful kind – lanterns that glow like stars, fresh bread baked over coals and quiet care that lets the wild take centre stage. Sandibe captures the energy of predator country, while Nxabega reflects the calm of the Delta’s waterways.

“Together with Chobe, they reveal the full spectrum of Botswana’s wild beauty.”

The seven-night Chobe and the Okavango Delta: An Under Canvas Adventure itinerary starts from $4,840 per person.
