Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see at Stevenford Gamereserve, and are there any unique sightings we should look out for?

We love Stevenford for its incredible elephant sightings, especially during the dry season when they congregate around the waterholes. While you'll certainly see the usual suspects like zebra, wildebeest, and giraffe, keep an eye out for the elusive wild dogs that sometimes patrol the area. The birdlife is also spectacular, a real treat for any keen ornithologist.

We're planning a trip in July. Is this a good time to visit Stevenford Gamereserve, and what should we pack for the weather?

July is absolutely one of our favorite times to visit Stevenford. The weather is dry and cool, making for comfortable game drives and stunningly clear nights. We recommend packing layers – warm jackets for early mornings and evenings, and lighter clothing for the daytime. Don't forget a good hat and sunscreen; the Botswana sun is intense even in winter.

What is the typical cost for a stay at Stevenford Gamereserve, and what is usually included in the rate?

While prices can vary depending on the season and accommodation type, expect Stevenford to offer excellent value for its prime location. We find that rates typically include your accommodation, all meals, and usually two game drives per day. It’s worth checking if park fees are included, as this can sometimes be an additional cost to factor in.

How safe is it to stay at Stevenford Gamereserve, particularly regarding wildlife encounters?

We’ve always felt incredibly safe at Stevenford. The lodge is well-managed with experienced guides who prioritize guest safety above all else. While you are in the wild, the camp itself is designed to keep you secure, and your guides will always brief you on any necessary precautions during game drives and walks.

Beyond game drives, what other activities does Stevenford Gamereserve offer, and are they worth the extra cost?

Stevenford excels at offering a truly immersive camp experience. We highly recommend the guided bush walks if they are available; it’s a completely different perspective on the bush, allowing you to appreciate the smaller details. While not always included, these walks offer incredible insights and are well worth the modest additional fee for a deeper connection with the environment.
