This experience is the perfect complement for any visitors to Botswana interested in conservation and culture. It combines a visit to two community coexistence projects located  in one of the most remote parts of the Okavango Delta.

The first stop will showcase the work of  CLAWS (Communities Living Among Wildlife Sustainably), which addresses the issue of human-wildlife conflict by helping farmers protect livestock through a herding program, veterinary support, and improved rangelands. The experience includes a talk with the head herdsman and a guided tour of the bomas used for confining and protecting cattle.

The second project offers a 2.5 hour guided tour in the traditional Hambukushu village of Eretsha, organised by conservation NGO, Ecoexist. This Life With Elephants (LWE) tour immerses guests in village life, addressing the challenges faced in coexisting with elephants, and includes traditional song and dance. Ecoexist is facilitating and supporting new elephant-themed enterprises like this one as part of its strategy to promote coexistence between people and elephants. 

These remote projects are accessible by helicopter whilst showcasing some of the most picturesque scenes of the panhandle enroute. Together we pride ourselves in offering an integrated, sustainable and people driven approach to empowering communities in Northern Botswana. By booking this experience you offer support to important issue for both villagers & wildlife in Botswana.
