BOTSWANA
Undoubtedly one of Southern Africa’s most iconic wilderness destinations, Botswana is a unique country with a vast array of spectacular lodges and equally beautiful landscapes. With some of the highest wildlife densities, Botswana lends itself to a classic safari experience.
Topographically, Botswana is flat with roughly 70% of its land being the Kalahari Desert. Playing home to just over 2 million people, most of its wilderness is largely undisturbed by man. The waters of the Okavango Delta are Botswana’s ultimate safari attraction. Other highlights include the rolling plains of the Savuti and the elephant-rich Chobe region. This makes Botswana number one on many safari bucket lists. Further south of the Delta lies the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. These stretch far and wide, whilst the grasslands of the Kalahari invite a new type of experience in contrast to the watery Delta.
Why not walk with Africa’s first people, the San? You could also canoe down the crystal-clear channels of the Okavango, go on 4x4 safaris or take a hot air balloon ride or private helicopter flip over the vast landscape. With some of the most stunning lodges, camps and mobile operations in the country, there is complete flexibility in designing your safari. Accessible by small charter flights or private planes, it is truly remote and untouched.
A wildlife Eden, birders paradise and photographer’s dream. Botswana is one of our favourite destinations to showcase to any and all guests.

OKAVANGO DELTA
An emerald-green paradise in the middle of the red Kalahari, the Okavango Delta forms the centrepiece of most Botswana safaris. One of the world's most mesmerising natural destinations, its labyrinthine channels, open floodplains and tangled woodlands really do teem with wildlife and it offers a wide range of safari activities including game drives, nature walks, boat rides and canoe safaris. Much of the Okavango Delta is protected by the legendary Moremi Game Reserve; privately managed conservation concessions take care of much of the rest.
