Botswana Safaris
Introduction
A land of contrasts, Botswana has it all – twinking waterways of the Okavango Delta, vast white expanses of the salt-pans of the Makgadikdi, to the huge elephant herds which throng the Chobe River, and the isolation of the Central Kalahari. The ideal destination for those looking for relaxed, intimate sightings of incredible wildlife and fantastic birding. Widely considered to be the very best safari destination, Botswana’s lodges cater for a wide range of interests – from wildlife enthusiasts, families, photographers, active explorers and those simply wanting to experience safari at its finest.
What makes Botswana different?
Trips to Botswana always feel off the beaten path and lodges are built with a light eco-footprint, strategically positioned in the very best of the wildlife rich wildernesses, to take safari to the next level in terms of sightings and exclusivity. Combine this with top-class guiding from guides who know every inch of the national parks and concessions, and you have all the ingredients for a trip which will be a talking point for years to come.
Safari style
Conservation has always been top of Botswana’s agenda, and this is combined with an increasing awareness of the importance of educating and working with the local communities to further protect the fragile eco-systems. Speak to us to find the best style of travel for you through this wonderful country, and to make the very best of your time there. We can also include Botswana as part of a longer itinerary to see the mighty Victoria Falls, South Africa or include a few days of relaxation on the beach after your exciting safari days. It’s worth pointing out that the vast majority of lodges and camps in Botswana are unfenced, and so wild animals can and do pass through regularly – for many travellers this is part of the excitement of travel to this destination. Guests will always be escorted to and from their rooms after dark by a member of staff (and you can request to be accompanied at any time). If you would prefer to stay at fenced properties let us know and we can recommend accommodation accordingly.
