Sango Safari Camp is situated in a peaceful location on the banks of the
Khwai River. It is an open camp which means that animals are free to
wander in at any time. The tented cabins have hardwood floors,
comfortable beds, outdoor solar showers and decks facing the river. The
sounds at night are spectacular. We were awakened one night by a chorus
of thousands of frogs. Another night we were sandwiched between two
hungry elephants.
We enjoyed the friendliness of the staff members. Led by Neo, they exuberantly sing the most beautiful welcome song every time new guests arrive. The food was plentiful and delicious. Unfortunately, our stomachs are getting into some very bad habits. It's like being on a cruise ship for a month. There were twelve guests in total, divided between two vehicles for our game drives. Meals were shared around a communal table so we were able to socialize with everyone.
Sango has the luxury of being situated between two parks. Moremi, which is a national park, and the Khwai Concession. We went into both for our game drives. The benefit of Khwai is that you can drive anywhere. In the national parks, you are required to stay on the designated roads. We saw lots of animals during our time at Sango. Leopards kept showing up everywhere! It was especially exciting to finally see some babies. We saw a leopard and her adorable cub, frisky African wild dog puppies and baby hyenas nursing at night.
We knew that Sango would be a different experience than Footsteps. For one, we were sharing the camp with other people. Secondly, Sango is located near a village and is popular with self drivers and mobile safaris. The greater volume of traffic means the scarcer animals like leopards and lions and hyenas seem to be scattered further out into the bush. We maximized our time there with game drives, night drives and a mokoro ride. Now we are more than ready to return to the bush and bucket showers at Selinda Explorer's Camp.
