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.

WHY CHOOSE US

Testimonial 4
“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Testimonal 9
“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”
The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!
