Okavango
Okavango Ubuntu Trail
Okavango Delta, Botswana
5 nights / 6 days
Personally guided by Alan
In association with the Ubuntu Society, Netherlands
I AM BECAUSE WE ARE. WE ARE BECAUSE THE PLANET IS. That is the essence of Ubuntu. An ancient African code of living that suggests the following: "I can only be the best possible version of myself, if you are the best possible version of yours. Therefore we will inter-be. However, we can only do this if we look after the earth."
The concept of Ubuntu is possibly the most relevant social/environmental keystone in the world. Empathetic ecological well-being, combined with, humility consciousness and community support for one another, is essential to navigate the existential crises we are facing with hope and healing.
These are the ethics that determined the dedicated public service of great African leaders such as Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Sir Seretse Khama. In order to actually feel and experience that essence, and discover how Ubuntu can be incorporated into modern leadership, we are proud ato host the trail in association with Annette Mul and www.ubuntusociety.nl.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Luxury, pure luxury .....
Space, time and a sense of belonging! This is what we all seek, whether we know it or not, we want to belong and be significant. Here in the splendour of the Okavango Delta one feels a unique blend of honestly humble and incredibly powerful. This landscape is the perfect platform for an exploration of self and of wilderness.
On day two we move out by dugout canoe to find an island and set up our home for the next three nights. With minimal impact and wholesome, conscious provisions, the essence of the camp is simplicity and connectedness. There is no pretence here, just humility and appreciation for the isolation and the desire to protect it!
We have plenty of quiet and time is ours to explore the Ubuntu philosophy that is so relevant and rich in Botswana. We explore how to integrate it into our lives both here and now and in every scape we find ourselves, be it the boardroom, our homes and with our neighbours.
A campfire overlooking the water and the plains beyond is the centrepiece of the camp. Facilities are shared 2 berth ripstop canvas dome tents with sewn in groundsheets. Mattresses, sleeping bags, pillows and towels are provided. There are shared compost toilets and bucket showers.
The local community benefits directly from the trail.
