Our Story

For over 40 years, Roger Dugmore Safaris has been crafting extraordinary private safari experiences in Botswana. Our deep knowledge of this remarkable country allows us to create unforgettable, tailor-made adventures just for you.

The concept of mobile safaris is rooted in the traditional way of exploring the wild, a practice that has evolved over the past 60 years. The word “safari” means “journey,” and this perfectly captures our philosophy. We are passionate about providing life-changing experiences in some of the last truly wild places on earth.

Our legacy began with John Dugmore, who passed his love for nature and safaris to his son, Roger. Today, this passion continues through Roger’s cousin, Justin Everingham. As a family-run business, we value our deep connections with the natural world, enriching lives through shared journeys of discovery.

With decades of intimate knowledge of Botswana's landscapes, wildlife, and cultural richness, we ensure sustainability and consistency in every personalised safari experience. Each journey reflects our commitment to excellence and our profound love for the wild.

We are dedicated to sharing our insights and creating engaging learning experiences. Our personalised approach fosters meaningful connections, not only to the land but also to the incredible people you’ll meet along the way. We believe the true essence of a journey lies in the relationships formed during your adventure.

Service excellence and the well-being of our dedicated team are our top priorities. Together, we create the perfect foundation for you to embrace your private safari adventure, exploring the magical landscapes and unique biodiversity of the Okavango Delta and the Kalahari Desert in search of solitude and wonder.

Join us in discovering the unparalleled beauty of Botswana, where every journey is an invitation to connect with nature and create lasting memories.

“You guys are amazing! Justin, you did an amazing job sharing your knowledge & passion of the bush. You truly filled the bucket on my bucket list trip! Team, thank you for all you did to make our camp feel like home.”

Francisco & Lola, Puerto Rico - September 2026

“To say this has been the best trip of our lives is an understatement. Who would’ve thought that sleeping in a tent without air conditioning/internet or electricity and going to the bathroom in a knee-deep hole would change our lives forever. I have felt more connected to myself, my surroundings and to the most amazing people that surrounded me these couple of days, then any other day with all the signal in the world. Thank you for respecting and taking such good care of your lands, for sharing your passion with wildlife, the delta and life itself with such ease that is contagious. We will always carry this place in our hearts forever and the memories we have created with you.’’

Liz & David, England, United Kingdom - October 2025

“What a totally wonderful week! In fact, it is to be considered life changing. Everyday full of amazing visions, ringing laughs, delicious food and the deepest joy. All our needs anticipated and all our expectations and hopes exceeded. The only sadness is leaving too soon. But as we shall leave a part of our hearts with you in the delta, we look forward to the next time – for the 3rd time. Until then Thank you Thank you Thank you for the most magical experience in the Okavango paradise.’’

“I am truly thankful to Justin and Roger for their love of the Delta – sharing their magical place and teaching us so much about the area and all the inhabitants. Whether plants, trees, birds, wildlife. Your passion and commitment is so evident and you have truly built an amazing team that helps make everything possible. Thank you. I will need to process and reflect on this adventure in the days and weeks to come … truly a special place and has encouraged me to return and experience more.”
