About Botswana

Botswana chose low-volume, high-value tourism decades ago, and it shows: vast concessions, few vehicles, and some of the most pristine wilderness left in Africa. We focus on three areas, each with its own character.

Chobe, just 80 km from Victoria Falls, is famous for the elephant-crowded Chobe River and its boat safaris. The Okavango Delta is a 15,000 km² inland flood plain explored by mokoro dugout and on foot. Moremi Game Reserve, on the eastern Delta, combines water and dry land for superb predator viewing.

Highlights

  • Chobe River boat safaris

    Watch elephant swimming, buffalo on the flood plain and crocodile on the banks from water level.

  • Mokoro through the Delta

    Glide silently between papyrus and water lilies, poled by a local guide — the essential Okavango experience.

  • Moremi predators

    Lion, leopard and wild dog hunt the islands and mopane woodland of the Delta's eastern edge.

  • Scenic light-aircraft flights

    Seen from 500 feet, the Delta's channels and islands are one of the great views on Earth.

  • Birdlife

    Over 450 species, from African fish eagle and Pel's fishing owl to carmine bee-eater colonies.
