Botswana
Botswana is the heart of African wildlife safaris. It has a great reputation for being an ideal destination for holidaymakers looking for an extraordinary adventure. The Botswana safari experience features diverse ecosystems with a large variety of wildlife and extraordinary landscapes. From the floodplains and waterholes of the Okavango Delta to the woodlands and river of Chobe National Park and the deserts of the Central Kalahari, Botswana provides an idyllic setting for unparalleled African safari holidays.
The most popular Botswana safari tours always include the iconic Okavango Delta, the world’s biggest inland delta. The sheer volume and variety of wildlife in this region is staggering. Touring the delta waterways in a traditional mokoro (canoe) is a unique experience where you are likely to encounter everything from tiny frogs, hippos, blooming water lilies, crocodiles to countless bird species. If exploring Botswana’s unspoiled wilderness and plains by open safari vehicles or by foot is more your thing then you are bound to come across a large variety of land-based wildlife including apex predators.
North of the Okavango Delta is the Chobe National Park and the Chobe River. This is one of Africa’s most popular safari destinations due to the abundant elephant population which is amongst the highest in Africa.
The Central Kalahari is one of our favourites, large Black-Maned Lions, exceptional birdlife and many of natures unseen animals thrive here. Enjoying sighting of bat-eared fox, cape fox and the infamous honey-badger. Scarce waterholes bring in large numbers of wildlife and sightings of leopard, cheetah and plains game is some of Africa’s best.
