Discover Botswana. Experience the Wild, the Ace Way.

Ace Safaris is a Botswana-based safari operator headquartered in Maun, specialising in personalised safari experiences across some of the country’s most celebrated wilderness areas, including the Okavango Delta, Khwai and Moremi.

The company combines local knowledge, experienced Botswana guides, mobile safari camps, open 4×4 game drives, air safaris, boat cruises, mokoro experiences and transfers to create flexible ways for travellers to explore Botswana’s wildlife and landscapes.

Operating from opposite Maun International Airport, Ace Safaris is strategically positioned for travellers arriving in Maun and looking to access the Okavango Delta and surrounding wildlife areas.

Safari Experiences

Ace Safaris offers a range of experiences designed for travellers who want to explore Botswana by air, road and water.

Okavango Delta Day Trips

Travellers can fly from Maun into the Okavango Delta for a day of wildlife and wilderness experiences.

The excursions combine opportunities to experience the Delta’s waterways, islands, wildlife and birdlife, with activities such as game drives and time on the water depending on the itinerary.

The aerial journey also provides travellers with a different perspective of the Okavango’s intricate network of channels and floodplains.

Khwai Day Trips by Charter Flight

Ace Safaris offers charter-flight day trips into the Khwai area, providing access to an extensive wildlife environment without requiring travellers to commit to a multi-day safari.

Guests fly to Machaba Airstrip, where they can continue their safari by open 4×4 vehicle. Game viewing may include elephants, lions and African wild dogs, with opportunities to explore floodplains and woodland areas.

A mokoro experience may also be incorporated when water levels allow, before guests return to Maun by air later in the day.

Mobile Safaris in Khwai & Moremi

For travellers wanting a more immersive wilderness experience, Ace Safaris offers multi-day mobile safaris through areas including Khwai and Moremi.

Guests stay under canvas in comfortable mobile camps while Ace Safaris manages camp setup, cooking and logistics. The mobile approach allows itineraries to follow seasonal wildlife movements and changing conditions across the wilderness areas.

The experience is designed to place travellers closer to nature while maintaining the essential comforts of a professionally operated safari.

Okavango Boat Cruises

Ace Safaris also offers boat cruises on the Okavango Delta, departing from Maun and Khwai.

Depending on seasonal water levels, travellers can enjoy:

• Sunset boat trips
• Wildlife viewing from the water
• Photography opportunities
• Waterway exploration
• Small-group experiences
• Guided cruises with experienced skippers

Boat activities are seasonal and dependent on water conditions.

Mokoro Experiences

The traditional mokoro, a narrow canoe traditionally associated with the Okavango Delta, provides an intimate way to experience the waterways and surrounding wilderness.

Ace Safaris incorporates mokoro experiences into selected itineraries when water levels and conditions permit, giving visitors an opportunity to experience the Delta from water level.

Scenic Flights & Air Safaris

For travellers who want to experience Botswana from above, Ace Safaris provides air safari and scenic flight experiences.

Flights offer expansive views of the Okavango Delta, including its winding channels, islands, floodplains and wildlife.

The aerial experience can be particularly rewarding for photography and for appreciating the scale and distinctive geography of the Okavango ecosystem.

Ace Safaris works closely with Major Blue Air to facilitate air access and fly-in safari experiences.

Game Drives

Open 4×4 game drives form an important part of Ace Safaris’ safari experiences.

Experienced local guides lead travellers through wildlife areas such as Khwai and Moremi, helping guests search for and observe Botswana’s wildlife in its natural environment.

Depending on location, season and wildlife movements, guests may encounter elephants, big cats, African wild dogs, diverse birdlife and other species.

Ace Safaris highlights its guides’ local knowledge of wildlife, tracks, floodplains and changing water levels as an important part of the safari experience.

Custom Transfers & Day Tours

Ace Safaris also provides custom transfers and day-tour services around Maun and the Okavango region.

These services can include:

• Scenic flights
• Lodge transfers
• Camp transfers
• Day tours around Maun
• Okavango Delta transfers
• Safari-related transport arrangements

Travellers can discuss their dates and requirements with the Ace Safaris team to determine the most suitable routing and combination of services.

Local Expertise

One of Ace Safaris’ key strengths is its emphasis on local Botswana expertise.

The company states that its guides are Botswana natives with extensive field experience. Their knowledge extends beyond wildlife to include local plants, indigenous cultures, traditions and stories associated with the landscapes through which they guide visitors.

This local perspective adds cultural and environmental context to the safari experience rather than focusing solely on wildlife viewing.

Private Concessions

Ace Safaris operates in private concession areas including NG12 and Khwai, where fewer vehicles can contribute to a more intimate wildlife-viewing experience.

The company highlights these areas for their opportunities to encounter elephants, big cats, diverse birdlife and other wildlife away from the more heavily visited safari environments.

Private concession operations also form part of Ace Safaris’ approach to responsible and lower-impact tourism.

Year-Round Safari Experiences

Ace Safaris operates its safari experiences throughout the year, allowing visitors to experience Botswana during different seasons.

The character of the safari changes throughout the year, from the greener landscapes associated with the rainy months to the dry season, when wildlife viewing conditions can be particularly rewarding.

Seasonal water levels also influence activities such as boat cruises and mokoro excursions.

Mobile Safari Camps

Ace Safaris’ mobile camping experiences are designed to provide a balance between wilderness immersion and practical comfort.

The company describes its camps as low-impact mobile camps, with comfortable tents and on-site cooking. The safari team manages camp setup and logistics, allowing guests to focus on the experience.

Mobile camps are positioned as part of Ace Safaris’ eco-conscious approach, helping minimise the environmental footprint while supporting experiences in wilderness areas.

What to Expect at Mobile Camps

Travellers should be prepared for a genuine wilderness environment.

Ace Safaris notes that its campsites are unfenced, meaning guests must follow the instructions of their guides and camp staff at all times.

Mobile camps also have limited electricity, with charging opportunities available only occasionally, and Wi-Fi is not available at the mobile camps.

Guests are advised to bring suitable equipment and personal essentials for an outdoor safari environment.

Family-Friendly Safaris

Ace Safaris welcomes travellers of different ages and promotes family-friendly safari experiences.

The company states that children of all ages are welcome, with specific accommodation policies applying according to age.

Children aged 0–5 years can be accommodated free of charge when sharing with adults, while children aged 6–18 years are charged at a reduced rate when sharing with adults. Guests aged 19 and above are charged at the adult rate.

Families travelling with small children should request a private game vehicle.

Safari Destinations

Ace Safaris operates day trips and mobile safari experiences in the area, with opportunities for open-vehicle game drives and, when conditions permit, mokoro activities.
