Botswana: Where the Wilds Roam Free
From the waterways of the Okvango Delta, Botswana is a land where the desert meets an oasis. A land where wildlife roams freely, and the Milky Way glitters in all its glory above.
With our deep love for the natural world, we embarked upon our latest adventure - taking our guests on a riding safari hosted by local experts, Ride Botswana.
Our base camp was the wonderfully romantic Cha Cha Metsi. Its six tents sit on the edge of a delta where the hippos wallow and grunt quite charmingly all night, and birdsong is in surround sound.
Designed and built especially for outdoor life like this, our Classic Heritage Boots played their part to perfection in the water-filled Delta, and it was wonderful to see the new collection come to life in such natural surroundings.
To commemorate the trip, we have launched a new collection of glazed canvas luggage, designed especially for light and easy travelling - a holdall, a washbag and a tote from the Wilderness Collection, embodying our mantra for enduring style and traditional craftmsnaship to take you wherever you may roam.
"It's fun to channel Meryl Streep and fill your suitcase with vintage camel and khaki, but you ultimately need quality pieces that can endure long, guided walks, riding safaris through wetlands and Africa's famous biblical storms. Penelope Chilvers' boots and shoes may be stylish, but they're cleverly designed with the elements and challenging landscapes in mind. They'll likely last longer than their owners too, so they really are an investment piece." Guest and Journalist, Rosalyn Wikeley gives an effortless elegance to the Tan Buttercup Sandals, Safari Boots and Wilderness Waxed Cotton Holdall.

"Penelope Chilvers is the perfect brand for safari - their shoes and boots are comfortable, effortlessly stylish, and designed to handle any terrain while looking timeless." - Eliza Manners

What an incredible adventure we have had at Cha Cha Metsi, the most beautiful safari camp in the wilderness of Botswana. Huge thanks to our riding experts Ride Botswana who have introduced us to the beauty of the African wilderness on horseback.
Our Heritage Collection designed for adventures outdoors and beyond has put us into action, accompanying our brave, adventurous, and stylish guests throughout our Safari journey, proving they really are boots to go anywhere and do anything.
