LUXURY BOTSWANA SAFARIS

A MYRIAD OF WILDLIFE WAITING TO BE EXPLORED ON SAFARI

With more than 25 percent of its land set aside for national parks and game reserves, Botswana is a place of low-volume tourism, promising an exclusive safari holiday that is rich in diverse wildlife. From the infamous meerkats of the Makgadikgadi Pans to the Big Five roaming the winding waterways of the Okavango Delta, a Botswana safari is a must for those seeking a variety of contrasting habitats, epic wildlife and stunning scenery.

Between the months of July and October, the best time for Botswana safaris, you can travel to the banks of the Boteti River to see the end of the zebra migration and head to Botswana’s Okavango Delta, where you can explore the wetlands by traditional mokoro trips, cruise along the lands with 4×4 game drives and fly over the delta in a small plane or helicopter to witness the wildlife congregating around the floodwater sources.

In the north eastern region of the arid plains of the Kalahari Desert lies the Makgadikgadi Pans. Here you can quad bike across the white-crusted salt landscapes, sleep under the star-filled skies and encounter an array of wildlife, including the inquisitive meerkats and the spectacular flamingos.

There are countless luxury Botswana safari lodges including Duba Plains Camp, where you will have the most intimate and up-close viewing of Botswana’s epic wildlife from the comfort of your own room. Speak to our Africa travel specialists and they will start planning your luxury Botswana holiday packages in 2025, 2026 and 2027.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.

“FABULOUS FIRST VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA”
Excellent advice received regarding our first trip to South Africa. We were given very personalised recommendations based on what we hoped to experience during our holiday, and the suggested lodges were absolutely fabulous. All transfers ran like clockwork, with polite and friendly drivers. From the beautifully printed, detailed itinerary to the elegant document case, luggage tags, and the informative app, every detail contributed to a sense of luxurious, premium service.
