CYCLE SAFARI July 1-4 2007 Botswana

Cycle Safari in AfricaAfrican safari experience is the most awe-inspiring experience any traveler can have. The SEAL Cycle Safari is a unique and thrilling new look at interacting with the inhabitants of the wild bush on their level.

Cycle Safari in AfricaSee some of the largest herds of elephant in Africa. Enjoy authentic, professionally-catered African cuisine around a camp fire. Then fall asleep while listening to the unique sounds of the wild beneath the star-filled African sky. All the while under the attentive watch and care of the SEAL team.

The SEAL Cycle Safari is a unique and phenomenal new look at the African safari experience.

The expeditions take place in the Tuli region of Botswana, just over the South African border and run throughout the year, departing on fixed dates.

The perspective of the wild from a bicycle is completely different to the sedate and elevated view from a vehicle - the experience is invigorating and not comparable with traditional safari.

By day we cycle through the game reserve and by night we sleep under the African stars in SEAL Wilderness-camps in comfort and absolute safety, or in the semi-luxury tented camp of Mashatu Game Reserve.

Guard Duty

Sleeping in the open under the African stars is a very special experience - listening to the sounds of the bush so far removed from the noise of urban life. For this purpose we have the SEAL Wilderness-camps.

It is however necessary for a team member to be awake at all times to keep the fire going as wild animals will keep their distance from movement and firelight.

Both staff & guests take turns on the 1 hour long watch through the night.
