Botswana Safaris
Why You Should Visit Botswana
Embark on an extraordinary safari holiday in Botswana, home to some of Africa’s most pristine wilderness. Explore the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage site, teeming with wildlife. Enjoy mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) excursions and guided walks, offering close encounters with diverse fauna.
Visit Chobe National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and scenic boat cruises on the Chobe River. Discover the stunning landscapes of the Makgadikgadi Pans and the wildlife-rich Moremi Game Reserve. Luxurious lodges and intimate camps provide exceptional comfort and hospitality. A Botswana safari promises unparalleled adventure and unforgettable experiences in the heart of Africa.
​
To see the Delta at its watery finest, we recommend visiting between June and October, though as the amount of water in the Delta depends on rainfall in Angola in the preceding months, this can be a moveable feast. Days at this time of year should be hot and dry. This is also the best time to visit Chobe as the lack of rain brings the migrating wildlife down to the river.
