Safaris in Botswana
Botswana - Safari Perfected
Venture into the True Wild
Botswana offers some of the finest safaris in Africa. While other countries may have invented the safari, Botswana has perfected it. Here, vast untouched wilderness, exceptional wildlife and extraordinary landscapes come together to create an experience that feels truly immersive.
From the shimmering waterways of the Okavango Delta and the wildlife-rich Moremi Game Reserve to the elephant-filled wilderness of Chobe National Park and the vast salt pans of Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pan, Botswana offers an incredible diversity of safari experiences. Game drives, walking safaris, mokoro excursions and water-based wildlife viewing allow you to experience the wilderness from completely different perspectives.
The wildlife is equally impressive. Botswana is home to the Big Five, alongside exceptional populations of elephant, lion, leopard, wild dog and buffalo, while its more remote landscapes can offer the chance to encounter some of Africa’s rarer species, including aardvark, aardwolf and, with luck, pangolin.
What makes Botswana safaris particularly special is its sense of space and wilderness. With low-density tourism in many areas and some wonderfully exclusive camps and concessions, you can spend your days surrounded by extraordinary wildlife and your nights beneath some of Africa’s most spectacular skies, often feeling as though you have the wilderness entirely to yourself.
Wild, beautiful and endlessly adventurous, Botswana deserves a place on every safari bucket list.

National Parks & Private Reserves
Central Kalahari Safaris
The Central Kalahari's harsh, sprawling terrain is dominated by grasslands, home to wildlife such as giraffes, cheetahs, hyenas & wild dogs. This is the home of Deception Valley and Passarge Valley and is an area which is less visited making for a remote, untouched and truly wild feeling.
Chobe & Linyanti Safaris
Chobe is in Northern Botswana neighbouring the Okavango. It is known for its large herds of elephants and cape buffalo. A haven for other spectacular wildlife, it is home to the great Chobe river and the numerous woods and lagoons forming the Linyanti Marsh and the floodable grasslands of the Savuti Marsh.
Makgadikgadi & Nxai Pan Safaris
The Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is situated south of the Nxai Pan, and is formed by huge salt pans creating an impressive surreal landscape. The name Makgadikgadi means "vast, lifeless land”. For those who prefer solitude and silence this is paradise, as even during the high season people are scarce here.
Okavango Delta, Moremi & Khwai Safaris
A vast inland river delta in Northern Botswana. Known for its sprawling grassy plains, which flood seasonally make it a lush animal habitat. Moremi & Khwai form a large part of the Okavango and offer unrivalled viewing from the water, horseback, vehicle or on foot where you'll find every safari species under the sun.
Tuli Block Safaris
Situated in the border triangle of Botswana, South Africa & Zimbabwe, the Tuli is perhaps Botswana's best kept secret. With the majority of land still owned privately, various concessions combine to provide spectacular game viewing along the Limpopo River and in the reserves of Mashatsu, Tuli and Nitani.
