Natural Selection has rolled out its six-night “Botswana Guided Cycling Safari,” designed for small groups. Travelers: Imagine exploring the ancient elephant paths that have shaped the Botswana landscape for centuries by bike, cycling alongside sightings of wildlife, passing acacia woodlands, wandering riverbanks, mopane forests and savannah grasslands.
Professional cycling safari guides will lead guests through off-road terrain, including single track game trails and jeep tracks, cycling three to five hours per day and revealing the secrets that pave the animal paths of the Okavango Delta. Later, guests will spend nights in a luxury mobile safari camp, pitched in different locations with a back-up vehicle nearby while riding.
The last two nights will be spent at Little Sable, the "stylish yet relaxed" safari camp. Guests will have the option of swapping one night at Skybeds, where stargazers will be accommodated atop a 16-foot-high wooden platform with only a mozzie net between guests and the night sky.
Natural Selection says it is devoted to the premise that safari tourism, when done right, can be a powerful tool for conserving and protecting Africa’s wilderness. The company partners with local communities and governments to help protect and even expand protected areas and critical wildlife habitat through the development of gold-standard ecotourism projects across Southern Africa. Natural Selection donates 1 percent of revenue annually to conservation.
