Our Botswana safari holidays
Our Botswana safari holidays explore some of Africa’s most wildlife-rich landscapes, from the Okavango Delta to Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park. You can bask in luxurious safari lodges or immerse yourself in nature by wild camping, with thrilling and illuminating bush walks into the Kalahari led by San guides. Often combined with neighbouring Namibia, our Botswana holidays protect traditional lifestyles, for example by working with the ‘polers’ of the Okavango Delta. Your holiday can also make a difference by contributing to educational safaris for Botswana school children, or supporting wildlife protection initiatives including the Khama Rhino Sanctuary.

About our Botswana holidays & safaris
Must-see places on safari in Botswana
Our safaris know the must-see places to visit in Botswana. Join us on a trip to Chobe National Park, an oldie but a goodie. It was the first national park in Botswana, laying out rivers, marshes and deserts that are home to some of the most concentrated pockets of wildlife in Africa, including the largest population of elephants on the planet. Elsewhere, our holidays take you to see the zebra, giraffes and hippos of the Okavango Delta by mokoro canoe, discover how residents created the Moremi Game Reserve to fight back against hunting and uncontrolled farming, and see how rhino numbers are being boosted at Khama Rhino Sanctuary.
Okavango Delta in Botswana
The Okavango Delta is a wildlife refuge so vast that astronauts can see it from space. It’s the watery landscape that brings animals here; think of it as a giant desert waterhole pieced together by swampland, islands, forests and papyrus-lined rivers. Everything seems to grow to fill out the landscapes, so you’ll find the largest elephant herds in Africa – the giants among over 500 animal species. Our Okavango Delta safaris tend to tread gently, following guides on bushwalks and mokoro canoe trips that put you eye-to-eye with the BaTawana communities and wildlife on the ground.
Botswana & beyond
Make like a migrating buffalo and forgo country borders to explore a larger swathe of Southern Africa. Namibia, to the west, is a great pairing. Our holidays to Botswana and Namibia mean that you can compare the watery Okavango Delta with the mountainous dunes of the Namib desert, or the seal colonies of Cape Cross with the elephants of the Chobe National Park. Alternatively, let us plot a course north-east to Zimbabwe, where the Victoria Falls crashes tantalisingly close to the Botswana border and Hwange National Park is a mere extension of Chobe National Park to the 100,000-plus elephants that roam here. The long, hot overland drives are all part of the fun.
Families in Botswana
Our family holidays adapt safaris to children's legs and attention spans. Younger children will enjoy wildlife spotting from jeeps, while Botswana’s specialities – bushwalking, canoeing and inspiring community initiatives – mean that the older the child, the more they’ll get out of it. Teenagers in particular will love it, as well as being able to withstand any longer overland drives. The lodges we use in Botswana are well-prepped for families, with extra-large tents and ‘bush schools’ for children.
Real luxury
Traveller and bed numbers are restricted in Botswana, so you don’t have to worry about being just another face in the crowd. Our six-tent campsites are hidden away on private concessions, and our unobtrusive luxury lodges offer comfort and calm while living up to demanding environmental principles. The 47-room Chobe Game Lodge is one of the biggest, complete with electric safari vehicles and above-and-beyond benefits for local staff. This luxury accommodation invests your money where it makes a real, direct difference: you’ll help support communities, protect wildlife and preserve the environment. We reckon that’s money well spent.
Types of safaris & holidays
Since you can’t move for wildlife, all of our Botswana holidays are safaris at heart. You’ll stay in lodges and camps that invest deeply in their communities – and pitch up where you can sip a sundowner within roaring distance of the lions’ waterhole. Choose between a tailor made holiday or a small group holiday that places you with a gang of like-minded travellers; it’s often a case of the more eyes the merrier when seeking out wildlife on safari. As well as a set itinerary designed by experts who know and love Botswana, you’ll travel with local guides who can tell a coppery-tailed coucal from an African fish eagle at 100 paces.
