Botswana

Botswana is regarded as one of Africa’s premier luxury safari destinations. Renowned for its unspoiled wilderness areas; the famed Kalahari, Okavango, Makgadikgadi and Linyanti regions are easily accessible on fly-in safaris by plane or by helicopter. This allows for maximum time spent in the wilderness with the added benefit of a low-level scenic view of the landscape!

Botswana champions “low volume – high income” tourism as its chosen conservation model, ensuring privacy on safari. The are many options for both for the first-time safari-goer and the experienced traveler alike.

Botswana is chiefly known for the wildlife eden of the Okavango Delta, a World Heritage Site. The rhythm of the annual floodwaters influences the experience in the different seasons. Wildlife is always abundant as you traverse the waterways where the animals gather. The more adventurous may also travel away from the delta where Botswana is exceptionally dry, to look for desert-adapted wildlife.

Great safaris in Botswana can be had from neat and comfortable remote walking camps to some of the continent’s finest lodges.

Wildlife viewing of charismatic species like elephant, hippo and even big cats right from the lodge decks is in fact quite common. Even relaxing in camp can be exciting! The lodges and camps of Botswana are typically well-appointed, well designed and blend into the natural surroundings.

Botswana safaris connect seamlessly with other Southern African destinations, either through commercial flights or private charter operators. The diversity of Botswana can easily be paired with great attractions in neighboring South Africa, Namibia, Zambia or Zimbabwe.
