Mind blowing and transformative wildlife experiences… one word ‘Moela’. This is the luxury safari offering where you have front row seats to the largest migration in Southern Africa and it is extraordinary. Close your eyes and picture the sounds of thousands of zebras and wildebeest around you. Not hundreds, thousands – all your senses are engaged and buzzing from the sounds to the sights experienced from being in this prime location. Not only that, it is a magnet for all types of wildlife being the only source of water in the dry season for many species.
One can passively game view all.day.long and then still enjoy a day trip to Nxai pans, or a sleep out in the Makgadikgadi pans in the dry season – it is a gateway to an adventure of a lifetime, and deserves a spot front and centre on every Botswana itinerary to contrast the Delta. The migration this year has been a wildlife extravaganza, add in the best pool in Botswana and private decks jutting out over the Boteti for exclusive game viewing and you have one exceptional safari destination. This is the missing piece of the Botswana puzzle that once inserted skyrockets your safaris into an extraordinary journey.
Not only that, I had my most extraordinary sighting in this area during a sleep out on the pans this year – a pangolin! Have a look at this surreal sighting here. You have not done the best of Botswana if you have not explored this extraordinary area with Moela.
