Luxury safari in Botswana
Safaris to Botswana offer some of the best game viewing opportunities in Africa. In addition to game drives your ideal African safari might include walking with Bushmen, gliding past Hippos in a dug-out canoe, horse riding or splashing through the Okavango delta on the back of an Elephant. Botswana is a country renowned for safaris in a pristine wilderness. Almost every African safari experience you have envisaged becomes reality in Botswana.
Okavango Delta Safari
The Okavango Delta is one of Botswana's charms, one of the most beautiful and tranquil places on earth. Here crystal clear shallow water channels of the delta create an oasis of rich savannah and woodland, supporting millions of plains game, elephant, giraffe, dozens of graceful antelope species and of course the big cats. The Okavango Delta is a unique part of Africa since it is formed by the Okavango River flowing inland rather than out to sea as the majority of rivers do, and then fanning out into a delta before disappearing into the sands of the Kalahari Desert.
The Desert regions - Kalahari safari
The semi desert regions of the Kalahari such as Chobe and Savuti are famous for their big breeding elephant herds and prides of lion.
In Botswana we recommend you a fly in safari. From your light aircraft you can enjoy the scenic views of the Okavango delta below as you transfer to your first safari camp. Camps such Vumbura and Duba Plains are very comfortable and are set on vast private game reserves where you can enjoy game viewing by open vehicle, on foot and by traditional dug out canoe in the company of expert guides. We will design a Botswana safari which takes account of the seasonal movement of water, and wildlife, with the chance to enjoy prime game viewing in contrasting scenic settings.
Why take a safari in Botswana?
Because of the convenience of travel, Botswana is ideal for a short break, but to see Botswana in any depth requires around two weeks. Your safari to this beautiful country can easily be combined with the Cape or Mauritius.
A Botswana safari is ideal for a very comfortable and relaxing, yet adventurous safari, with the minimum travel time between game lodges and camps. You can expect to see a large number and good variety of game in really remote and beautiful scenery. A safari in Botswana can be enjoyed at any time of year but, as with any African safari, you have to take care to visit the right places during the right months.
Botswana is a complex part of Africa with various safari seasons. Call us to create the ideal safari itinerary to suit your needs for the time of year you want to travel.Read about honeymoon safaris to Africa
