ABOUT BRAVE AFRICA’S MOBILE LODGE
The Brave Africa mobile lodge is not your typical mobile safari. Everyone who has stayed with us has called us a mobile lodge, and for good reason. We have luxury tents with flushing toilets, plush mattresses, and large footprints. We also have a chef who prepares all meals and a full team of staff to take care of our guests’ every need. This is not camping. It’s staying in a lodge that moves from location to location while our guests enjoy all-day game drives! It’s how safaris were always meant to be.
ALL-INCLUSIVE ULTRA-LUXURY SAFARI
Brave Africa does ALL the heavy lifting while on safari. Our team of 12 full-time permanent staff have been trained to handle everything from guiding to camp management, waitering, hospitality, housekeeping, maintenance, and more.
Our safari services include:
- All-day game drives with Level 3 guides,
- Safari activities, such as: mokoro, walking safaris, boating safaris, village visits, etc.
- Moving our lodge from camp to camp,
- Setting up and tearing down tents,
- Providing environmentally-friendly amenities, including solar lights, personalized aluminum water bottles, a gas stove, and solar-powered energy,
- Providing daily cleaning and laundry service,
- Offering on-demand bucket showers,
- Serving chef-inspired and cooked meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
HOW DOES OUR MOBILE LODGE WORK?
When your guests choose Brave Africa, we take them on a luxury safari for 7 or 10 days to visit two or three locations (Moremi, Khwai, or Savuti) in the Okavango Delta every three days. They don’t have to pack and unpack between destinations, get on a bush plane to change camps, or compare the quality of their guides, accommodations, or customer service between operators.
On move days, guests leave camp early for an all-day game drive with a chef-cooked lunch—just like usual—while back at camp, our team dismantles the entire lodge and loads it into our two moving vehicles. Our team then drives to the next camp and sets up the entire lodge in time for dinner. When guests arrive, Brave Africa’s lodge looks exactly the same as when they started their game drive except it is in a brand-new location.
This means guests enjoy a consistent safari experience with Brave Africa. They can rely on our team, their guide, their luxury tent, and their meals day-in and day-out every minute of their safari.
Brave Africa offers all the convenience and comfort of a lodge with the mobility of a camp!
MOBILE LODGE AMENITIES
Brave Africa offers all the expected amenities and extras you’d find at a traditional lodge.
- 7 rooms/tents
- Maximum 12 guests
- 1 extra-large family tent
- En-suite bath w/ flushing toilet

Open year-round, our mobile lodge combines the authenticity of yester-year safaris with a sustainable, comfortable bush experience. Brave Africa is comprised of six luxury tents (6m x 3m x 2.25m) and an extra-large family tent (8.6m x 3.5m x 2.5m), all en-suite. Guests can watch the magic of the Okavango Delta from their private veranda or from the comfort of our main lodge area, where charging ports are available. Our main lodge is under canvas and offers our bar, cozy seating area, lively fire circle, and a dining area that spills out to under the stars (weather permitting).
ECO-CONSCIOUS LODGING
At harmony with nature, Brave Africa takes an eco-conscious approach to going on safari in Botswana.
- There are no permanent structures: we leave each campground exactly as we found it.
- We are solar-powered: our front and back of house batteries are hooked up to powerful solar panels.
- Plastic consumption is also kept to a minimum with reusable, personalized water bottles: these water bottles are a gift for guests to keep and take home!
- We purify our own water, using powerful Berkey Filters—the world leader in water filtration. It removes 200+ unsafe contaminants, 99.9999999% of pathogenic bacteria, and 99.999% of viruses. It exceeds all industry standards globally.
- We also use solar-powered lights to illuminate camp, tents, back-of-house, and more. These lights provide far more illumination than the typical lamps, are waterproof, and offer four different light settings (low, medium, high, and flashing) for guest convenience.
- Our gas-powered stove, which is solar-powered and used for all cooking, helps us cut back on firewood, and thus our impact on the environment.
We invite guests to share an authentic, warm Botswana safari experience with us.
GOURMET COOKING
At Brave Africa, we do not cook over the fire or serve basic fare like you would expect from a mobile safari. Instead, we have a full back-of-house kitchen that includes a large refrigerator, oven, and stovetop powered by our portable solar power battery and generator. This means that we can cook anything that a lodge can.
Chef Ragele came to us from a traditional lodge and brings her exceptional cooking experience to Brave Africa’s guests. Traditionally, we offer a cold breakfast of cereals, meats, cheeses, fruit, yogurt, and toast, in order to get our guests out of camp and on a game drive as quickly as possible. However, on special occasions, a hot breakfast of bacon, ham, sausage, eggs, and more is available.
For every lunch and dinner, Chef Ragele makes multi-course meals offering a mix of local and standard cuisine. Sample menu items, include:
- Lamb shanks
- Steak
- Pasta
- Burgers
- Fish
- Chicken
- Seswaa
- Stew
- Quiche
