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.
