An inland delta in the desert, the world's largest elephant population, and a conservation model that has set the standard for the continent.
The world’s largest inland delta — 15,000 km² of channels, islands and floodplains, traversed by mokoro (dug-out canoe) and small aircraft.
More elephants than any other country on earth. Chobe National Park’s riverfront sees breeding herds drink at sunset.
Botswana’s high-cost low-volume policy means private concessions with 5-10 guests per camp. Wilderness without the crowds.
Two vast salt pans — the remnants of an ancient super-lake. Walk with meerkats, ride quad-bikes across the cracked white surface, sleep under the stars.
Pitch camp in a different unfenced wilderness each night. The classic Botswana experience — and our specialty.
Africa’s longest-running multi-party democracy. English widely spoken. Easy from Jo’burg, easy from SADC, easy for first-time safari travellers.
Dry season concentrates wildlife around water. Delta floods peak Jul–Sep. October is hot but the very best for predator action.
Green season at its lushest. Dramatic skies, low rates, fewer guests. Bird life at its peak — over 500 species in residence.
Wet season makes some camps inaccessible and the lush bush hides wildlife. Heat is intense. We’d suggest waiting.
15,000 km² UNESCO site — explored by mokoro, light aircraft and on foot.
World’s largest concentration — Chobe riverfront at sunset is unforgettable.
Red sand, ancient riverbeds, San bushmen tracking experiences.
Vast salt flats, habituated meerkats, baobabs older than Christianity.
Roving fully-serviced camps in private concessions. The classic Botswana way.
Quiet northern reserves — wild dogs, lions, hippo-filled lagoons.
The ‘Land of Giants’ — eastern Botswana’s elephant and baobab country.
Macatoo and Limpopo Horse Safaris — gallop alongside zebra and giraffe.
Light aircraft between remote camps in the Delta, Linyanti and Chobe. The classic Botswana experience — fully bespoke.
A fully-equipped mobile camp that moves with you between unfenced wilderness areas. Small groups, full crew, no fences.
Botswana pairs beautifully with Victoria Falls, Cape Town or the Namibian desert. We design multi-country itineraries.
Botswana went from one of Africa’s poorest nations at independence (1966) to upper-middle-income status — funded by responsible diamond revenue and reinvested in conservation.
And it’s not really a delta — the Okavango never reaches the sea. It empties into the Kalahari and evaporates, sustaining a world of life on the way.
Today most are fibreglass for conservation reasons, but the poling technique used by your guide (a ‘poler’) goes back centuries.
Every camp, every transfer, every concession decision matters. Tell us your dates, budget and what kind of safari you imagine — we'll build something extraordinary.
