ITINERARY INSPIRATION
From the salt-crusted pans of the Kalahari to the shimmering channels of the Okavango Delta, our Africa specialists will craft a tailor-made journey through Botswana’s wildest corners in true safari style.
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. From here head to the famous Okavango Delta, where you can explore the wetlands by mokoro (a traditional dug-out canoe) and speedboat, explore the planes by 4×4 and fly over the delta in a small plane or helicopter, and 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, tailor-made Botswana safari & holidays.
