Safari Overview
Botswana is a top destination for luxury safaris, known for its unique landscapes that differ from typical vast savannas. The iconic Okavango Delta winds through the Kalahari Desert, creating a lush oasis teeming with wildlife, including wildebeests, lions, flamingos, and hippos. A highlight is silently navigating this paradise in a mokoro, a traditional canoe. With over 25% of its land designated as national parks, Botswana offers low-impact, high-end tourism. Luxury safari camps provide semi-permanent, eco-friendly accommodations, ensuring personalized and sustainable experiences. Although Botswana safaris can be costly, the focus on conservation is evident, with revenues supporting wildlife protection. Many packages include flights between lodges due to the country’s remote areas. Known for predator sightings, Botswana also protects endangered species like the African wild dog and rare antelopes such as the sitatunga. Near the Chobe River, visitors can see large elephant herds, hippos, and rare birds, making Botswana a premier safari destination.
