The Bushman safaris offer you an opportunity to learn about fascinating Bushman culture as well as how they manage their hunting and gathering to sustainably utilise their wildlife environment.Bushman portrait courtesy Catherine Raphaely

Uncharted Africa is unique in its pioneering efforts to work with the Bushman communities to provide a dignified and culturally sensitive experience. 

The company has worked closely with The First People of the Kalahari, the Bushman pressure group that has been affiliated to the United Nations for many years.

For many years, it has not been possible to offer a genuine non-patronising Bushman experience due to the threat of exploitation. 

Now, the Bushman people themselves in conjunction with Uncharted Africa Safari Company offers a fascinating insight into their unique way of life, now almost extinct. 

These are 4 to 7 night tailor made safaris

  • You will be flown into the nearest Airstrip and transferred by land cruiser to a remote mobile camp site on the Namibian border at Xai Xai in Botswana. Bushman with spear heads, courtesy Catherine Raphaely
  • The camp site comprises traditional style Bushman grass shelters designed to provide an authentic and non-intrusive interaction. 
  • You sleep on proper beds between pure cotton sheets and old-fashioned army blankets and duvets. 
  • Wooden ladder shelves for hanging and stacking clothing and a wooden trunk for a bedside table provides space for storage. 
  • Bucket showers and long-drop loos are private and situated adjacent to each shelter. 
  • Food is equal in style and standard to Jack's and San Camp. 
  • Guiding is undertaken by PhD Researcher Guides who have guided in the Kalahari for no less than three years in consultation with Community leaders to ensure a unique experience that combines both culture and wildlife in a sensitive and dignified fashion.
