Makgadikgadi Cycling Safari

Tour Overview

Set off on a professionally guided 6-day cycling safari through Botswana's awe-inspiring landscapes, where thrilling adventure and extraordinary wildlife come together for an unforgettable journey across the vast Makgadikgadi Pans.

Your adventure kicks off at Thamo Telele, a serene bush camp near Maun, where you'll unwind, take in the stunning surroundings, and receive a detailed briefing on the journey ahead. There’s even a chance to meet the camp’s resident giraffes up close. After making sure your bicycle is ready for the adventure (with plenty of assistance from our dedicated support team), set out for a leisurely 2-hour ride around the 250-hectare private reserve. Cycle along the scenic banks of the Thamalakane River, and wrap up the day with a sundowner as the sun sets over the bush, followed by a delicious dinner under the stars.

Next, pedal towards the iconic Meno A Kwena camp, perched high above the Boteti River. Here, you’ll have time to relax by the pool, taking in the serene atmosphere after a day of cycling. In the evening, immerse yourself in a fascinating Bushman experience, followed by another sundowner and a restful night before your next thrilling leg.

The following day, prepare for a deep dive into the heart of the Kalahari Desert. Pedal past towering Baobab trees, and track the wild zebra migration trails as you make your way to Camp Kalahari. On your final day, meet the mischievous Kalahari meerkats, watch for rare wildlife with your private game vehicle, and toast to your journey with a sundowner on the vast, sparkling Makgadikgadi Pans.

This thrilling cycling safari brings together the best of Botswana's wilderness—wildlife, luxury, and adventure—making for a once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll never forget.
