Botswana

Botswana is one of Africa's greatest conservation success stories-a country that chose quality over quantity, prioritizing low-impact tourism and vast protected wilderness.

Since gaining independence in 1966, Botswana has remained politically stable and economically strong, largely through diamonds and environmental policies that safeguard its wild places.

Where to go

Botswana's diverse landscapes range from deltas to salt pans.

  • Chobe National Park: Famous for massive elephant herds, river cruises, and predator-rich areas along Chobe Riverfront and Savuti.
  • Moremi Game Reserve: Heart of the Okavango Delta with lagoons, forests, islands, and high wildlife concentrations.
  • Central Kalahari: Immense desert with black-maned lions and deep San cultural experiences.
  • Makgadikgadi Pans: Surreal salt flats offering stargazing, quad-biking, and walks with habituated meerkats.
  • The Okavango Delta (UNESCO site) features mirror-like lagoons and emerald floodplains surrounded by exclusive private concessions with strict guest limits, off-road driving, night drives, and walking safaris - unavailable in many national parks. Seasonal mokoro excursions and motorboat explorations thrive in the peak flood period (June-Sept).

When to travel

Botswana is a year-round destination with distinct experiences

  • Dry Season (May - October): Cooler, prime wildlife viewing as animals concentrate around water; peak in Chobe and Delta (July - October).
  • Green Season (November - April): Rains bring lush vegetation, newborns, migrant birds, and zebra migrations in Makgadikgadi; lower rates.
  • Okavango Flood (June - August): Delta waters peak during dry season, ideal for mokoro and boating.
