“We have a longstanding history with the Australian market, making it essential for us to visit in person each year,” Frenkel said. “Our market position has grown significantly, moving from the 8th to the 4th largest source market in the past year. We are excited to see this momentum continue in the coming years.”

Frenkel also highlighted upcoming developments, including the much-anticipated reopening of Xugana Island Lodge in April 2025. Following a complete rebuild, this enhancement underscores the company’s dedication to maintaining its exceptional safari offerings, not only in the World Heritage site of the Okavango Delta but across the Botswana circuit.
