Hello from Scandinavia
Sun Destinations
Want to explore Africa? Then visit our website to view our portfolio of camps, lodges and walking trails.
During the course of last week, we launched a blog post outlining the details of the upcoming Sun Destinations travel trade shows. If you’re following us on social media, you’ll know that we’ve wrapped up our Scandinavian roadshow. To recap, Mallory joined the 3 day Africa Showcase Roadshow hosted by On Show Solutions in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm. Aside from the weather being somewhat icy, the shows were a success and opened up new business connections and insight into the Nordic market.
Mallory says, “The journey from Copenhagen to Oslo, culminating in Stockholm, has been an incredible one. Engaging with about 140 trade partners along the way provided invaluable market insights. Introducing Sun Destinations and presenting our properties sparked immense interest and great feedback and I look forward to engaging with them further in future. We’re thrilled to deepen our presence in the Nordic market, with hopes of further exploration ahead. A heartfelt appreciation to the fellow exhibitors for making this whirlwind experience enjoyable. Special gratitude to Jacqui, Amanda, and their team for orchestrating this remarkable roadshow. And a big thank you to Gerald for facilitating connections and enriching our journey with invaluable insights.”
And when is our next trade show?
Next on our agenda is Durban’s Travel Indaba, where we will be exhibiting at two stands in the ICC – the ATTA Stand and the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve stand. Indaba is one of THE travel trade shows to attend; and is the largest pan-African inbound show. Our directors, along with Mallory and Monique, are headed to Durban to showcase our Kruger and Botswana portfolio.
Again, we truly value the importance of face-to-face meetings and connecting with our agents on a more meaningful level.
Unable to join us at trade shows? No worries!

Boteti Tented Camp
Boteti Tented Camp is conveniently located on the outskirts of Maun, making it a fantastic stopover going to or coming from your safari destination.

A stay includes one activity per day, which can be anything from game drives into the Moremi Game Reserve to a trip to the famed Makgadikgadi Pans National Park.

Camp Savuti
Camp Savuti is situated in a remote corner of the Chobe National Park, right on the famed Savuti channel that floods and dries up without warning. The area is known for lion, African wild dog and other predator sightings; among other species. Twice-daily game drives take place in the Savute Marsh area.
There are five authentic canvas tents subtly hidden among the bush willows, raised on wooden stilts. Each unit has its own wooden deck, complete with chairs for two; carpeted floors inside; twin or king-size beds with headboards and pure cotton linen.

Mboma Island Expeditions
Frequently referred to as “magical Mboma’ because of its prime position on the waterways of the Godikwe Lagoo in the Okavango Delta, Mboma Island Expeditions is ideal for adventurers seeking a stylish glamping safari experience. This mobile safari set-up redefines camping excellence and offers the best of both land and water based safari activities.
Magical Mboma has 5 light Meru-style canvas tents equipped with twin beds and en suite, open-air bathrooms. Everything about this camp is eco-friendly, from the sole use of solar-power, to bucket showers, and chemical toilets. Tents are fully furnished using the finest linen and kitted out in the creature comforts from home. Lantern lined pathways lead the way from the rooms to the main camp.
The location of Mboma is key: it’s in a protected area of the Okavango Delta and is accessible by boat. Offering the ultimate Botswana safari experience, Mboma comes highly recommended for your Okavango Delta safari.
Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge
Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge, located in the lesser-explored Kasane Forest Reserve, borders the Zambezi National Park in the northern stretches of Botswana. The beautifully appointment lodge surrounds a waterhole that’s a major drawcard for high concentrations of elephant. It’s not uncommon to see the herds jostling and young bulls play fighting while enjoying a breakfast on the deck.
Boasting 20 bedrooms that all face the waterhole (two levels), this secluded hideaway ensures every need is met in terms of accommodation. Fans, mosquito nets, safes, private balconies with seating, and butler’s trays in each room provide a much needed sense of comfort. In addition to the standard bedroom options, there are also 2 luxury Meru style tents on raised platforms that cater for guests requiring something a little bit more luxurious.
Included in your safari experience are two activities per day, which can include sundowner drives to the Kazuma Pan; a full day into the Chobe National Park for game drives and a boat cruise; cultural village tours; and day trips to Victoria Falls.
Chobe Mopani Forest Lodge is a place to keep busy, while offering all the quintessential things expected of a stellar safari experience to Botswana.
Our Botswana camps and lodges can be booked separately, or our team can create the perfect Trails of Botswana route to ensure you see the signature safari hotspots of one of southern Africa’s most pristine destinations.
