Everything went like clockwork. Nothing at all went wrong. Hotels and lodges were exceptional, as was the Blue Train. The whole experience far exceeded our expectations. Have already been encouraging our friends to try Webjet. We want them to see it for all sorts of reasons — for the adventure, for the sheer thrill of seeing wild animals in their natural habitat, for the wide open landscapes and the stars at night. We want them to be touched by it, to experience something of its magic — and unless we take them there, how can we expect them to understand why conservation and wilderness matter or how to care for it?
We want our offspring to feel close to the land, to meet its people, to feel its heat and dust, and although the plush lodges beckon seductively they serve as a barrier, too, between us and the harshness of the land, the heat of the day, the smell of the earth. And so last Easter, when I had the urge to take our daughter, her husband and their two sons Tom, then aged 15, and Ben, then 12 to Botswana, I turned to andBeyond for help.
Botswana is a country we all love, and which is deeply linked to our family. In the late Forties, my father, Laurens van der Post, went searching for some authentic Bushmen clans and made a BBC film about their way of life as well as writing two books about his expedition. But this time we were a family of five my football-loving husband opted out — there were still Chelsea matches to watch on a private holiday, so it was out of the question.
That is how we came to discover that besides its splendid lodges, andBeyond has a nine-night mobile camping option called andBeyond Explorer which is much more manageable. More importantly, we all found that as an experience it wound its way into our hearts more powerfully than any posh lodge could do. To start with, we travelled just as our little family group. Privacy on a safari is the great prize and hard to find, but from start to finish we were alone — just us, our wonderful Botswana guide, Mompati Aaron, who knew every bird and bush and spoor, and the camp staff whom we came to know and love.
This meant we could do as we pleased: From the moment we arrived in Nxabega in the Okavango Delta and saw our three little tents with their integral loos and hot-bucket showers beside the open-sided dining-tent, all set up in a clearing in the bush, we knew we were going to love it.
