Travel Advice & Information
Botswana wildlife holidays are a safari spotters' paradise, with glimpses of the Big Five (lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and African buffalos) around every twisting riverbend and reed-covered path. It’s known as the big game hub of Africa for a reason, and it promises adventure, untamed wild beauty (that’s well worth snapping on your species-ticking tour) and so much more. From the soft-footed big cats and rhinos surrounding the watering hole to the 500 species of birds that flock overhead, there are countless creatures to witness in the wild.
If you want to experience the best that Botswana wildlife holidays have to offer, then a trip to the Kalahari Desert and Makgadikgadi Pans is a must. It’s a sprawling burnt orange mosaic in the dry seasons and thriving ecosystem in the rainier months. The Makgadikgadi Pans offers quad biking safaris for the thrill seekers, while the transformative changing seasons and areas touched by the waters of the Okavango River provide animal lovers with the chance to witness the annual wildebeest and zebra migration. With flocks of flamingo onlookers and expert guides on hand, navigating this haven couldn’t be easier.
A trip to Chobe National Park (easily one of Southern Africa’s best) can offer keen adventures everything from houseboat stays and cruises to picture-perfect photo opportunities and safari experiences. You can punt your way through the flowing Chobe River, as it weaves its way across the park, or find yourself spoilt for choice when it comes to all thing's wildlife and exploration, as countless species of animals and birds converge here. Plus, we know all the best lodges and viewing spots to enjoy this magnificent spot to the fullest.
The highlight of any Botswana holiday is undoubtably the Okavango Delta. It’s the centre for wildlife and traditional mokoro canoe safaris that offer a unique waterside perspective, with views of famous Big Five as they meander through this outrageously beautiful natural paradise. Not to mention our Africa specialists can recommend the best mobile camps, look out spots and guides to complete your trip.
