Okavango to Tsodilo Ultra Trail
Set Departures and Private Departures Available in 2026 and 2027
From $5,110 per person
Follow a trail few have ever walked and discover Botswana beyond the traditional safari, where ancient landscapes, vibrant cultures, and untamed biodiversity reveal themselves step by step.
What to Expect
A 4-night, 100 km ultra-trail connecting two UNESCO World Heritage Sites -the Okavango Delta to the ancient Tsodilo Hills.
Botswana is one of the only places in the world where such a journey is possible, and we’ve spent a year planning and testing the route and the journey. We've partnered with specialist ultra- trail race experts, secured qualified medics, and mapped every refuelling station and overnight location.
Our dedication to history, culture and community makes this experience more than a challenge, it’s a complete immersion with the true Botswana - from the channels of the Okavango panhandle through remote fishing communities, across Kalahari scrubland alongside ancient megascale parallel dunes, culminating beneath the sacred “Mountains of the Gods” at Tsodilo Hills.
This isn't a race. It's an intimate expedition for the kind of travellers who don't just want to see Africa; they want to feel it underfoot, earn it with every kilometre, and share it with a handful of fellow adventurers doing something nobody else has done there.
