Botswana

Botswana

Few places on earth honour wilderness as devotedly as Botswana. With endless tracts of land set aside for conservation and a deliberate low-volume, high-value tourism model, the country has become a sanctuary for wildlife and a benchmark for sustainable safari travel. From the floodwaters of the Okavango Delta to the salt-cracked expanse of Makgadikgadi, Botswana's landscapes shift dramatically across the country - each region offering its own character, climate and cast of creatures.

This diversity is what defines a Botswana safari. Travel from the elephant-thronged banks of the Chobe River to the private, predator-rich wilds of Linyanti, then on to the Okavango's labyrinth of channels and islands, where lions swim and leopards stalk the shallows. Venture further to witness the great zebra migration crossing the Makgadikgadi pans, or explore Moremi, the delta's protected heart, where conservation began with the BaTawana people over half a century ago. Wherever the journey leads, Botswana rewards with abundant, undisturbed wildlife and landscapes that feel genuinely untouched.
