Luxury Safaris

Botswana offers one of the highest travel standards among African safari destinations. Luxury safari lodges and tour operators are abundant around the world’s largest inland delta. The rich water supply of the Okavango Delta feeds the full range of large African wildlife as well as a diversity of resident and migratory birds.

Areas in Botswana

The majority of Botswana is ruled by the extreme conditions of the Kalahari Desert. These vast and arid spaces nonetheless have abundant wildlife. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve are famous for their big cats. Southern and Central Botswana also allow experienced and self-reliant travellers to discover true wilderness. The Kalahari is a challenge to your survival- and 4×4 driving skills as you leave all amenities far behind.
