- We’re not just spoiling you with unrivalled Orient-Express luxury - we’re spoiling you with variety on this African safari of a lifetime for two people...
- You'll fly into Botswana - where your adventure awaits - and spend six nights at three different Orient-Express properties, each more prestigious than the last and each staying in a Luxury Tent on a full board basis.
- Your first two nights will be spent at Khwai River Lodge; overlooking the floodplains and beyond into the Moremi Wildlife Reserve.
- Renowned for its high concentrations of large mammals, don't be at all surprised to see predators in action from the comfort (and thankfully, the safety!) of your own private deck. You can also come close to nature in a slightly different way, as the Lodge indulges you in what it calls its 'Naturally Wild' aromatherapy treatment (I say, steady on, Carruthers), and all in the privacy of your own luxurious tented quarters.

- You'll then move to enjoy your two daily game viewings from your next luxury proerty - Savute Elephant Camp in the heart of the Chobe National Park.
- Here, your accommodation is perched above the now-dry Savute Channel, giving you a bird’s eye view of elephant in their natural habitat. Their watering hole is literally metres away from the camp's main building, while lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena are regular stalkers too!
- Finally, you'll round off your once-in-a-lifetime trip with two nights at Eagle Island Camp...
- ...Hidden from the world, deep within the Okavango Delta and sitting on the fabulously named Xaxaba island, this camp overlooks the surrounding lagoon.
- The standard of wildlife viewing at Eagle Island Camp is jaw-dropping by all accounts, with prolific birdlife and mammal sightings - and the human’s watering hole isn’t bad either! As voted by the New York Times, the Fish Eagle Bar is one of the most romantic in the world.
- So, to summarise here’s what you get for two people:
- Two nights full board safari at three Orient-Express Safaris camps (six nights in total)
- All inter camp flights, meals, drinks, private game drives, all taxes, park fees and a private dinner for two
- A spectacular helicopter game viewing from Eagle Island Camp
- And transfers to / from the airport in a luxury vehicle
Bid now for this return to the wild, with trunk-loads of untamed luxury thrown in...
