More About Botswana
Embark on an extraordinary self-drive odyssey or fly-in safari through Botswana, a true haven of unspoiled wilderness. Begin your journey in the renowned Chobe National Park, where the majestic Chobe River and the Savute Marsh create an unrivaled haven for diverse wildlife. During the peak of the dry season, the Chobe River offers the best elephant encounters across the African continent, while the Savute Marsh is a sanctuary for large prides of lions and other predators, providing a truly wild safari encounter.
From Chobe National Park, head south into the heart of the Okavango Delta, a wetland wonder protected by the Moremi Game Reserve and the adjacent Khwai Game Reserve. Immerse yourself in this unique ecosystem where water channels and lush expanses offer an exclusive encounter with nature’s wonders. For a truly unique perspective on this water wilderness, we recommend a mokoro and walking safari.
Venturing into the drier landscapes of Botswana, explore the enchanting Nxai Pan, Nata Game Reserve, and the expansive Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, where surreal landscapes beckon you to witness the vastness and tranquility of this remarkable region. Follow the Boteti River, a lifeline for wildlife in an otherwise arid landscape, and witness the awe-inspiring annual zebra migration, a spectacle that defines the natural rhythm of Botswana.
On the eastern side of the Okavango Panhandle, discover Tsodilo Hills, Botswana’s second UNESCO World Heritage site, where cultural richness intertwines with natural beauty. Explore the ancient rock art of Tsodilo Hills and cruise along the winding waterways of the Okavango Panhandle, each offering a unique perspective on Botswana’s cultural and natural diversity.
