Botswana offers some of the best safaris in Africa! Extraordinary habitats, amazing scenery and of course, staggering wildlife – where in private concessions, you have viewings all to yourself!

Add to this the quality of accommodation (some of the best in Africa) which is always small and intimate in size and one has all the right ingredients for the perfect safari!

But there are other aspects too – and that is the variety of activities on offer on a safari botswana. For example, it is the only country in Africa to offer proper, elephant back safaris – where you can go out with the elephant herd into the Okavango delta, and become part of the herd, watching at close quarters how the matriarch interacts with her youngsters. This is an incredibly privileged experience and I often wonder why not more people want to do this. Then, there are horse riding safaris – both in the Okavango Delta and in the Kalahari Desert – and finally – the more conventional vehicle safaris, game viewing by open 4 x 4 specially adapted safari vehicles.

Add to this the fact that one can have a private vehicle to make your safari more private and exclusive, and you can even have a private tented mobile camp or luxury lodge to yourself – which is the ultimate – together with your own private guide and vehicle.

The contrast of the desert with the delta is breathtaking – and with a team of specialists who come from Botswana, and with over 22 years experience of tailor making extraordinary safaris, we have the expertise to create a safari of a lifetime for you!

Botswana is very close to my heart, having lived in the Okavango Delta for some time. Nothing can quite prepare you for the beauty of the delta itself, this bejewelled crown that lies in this largely desert country. Botswana is different from many other countries in Africa, in that so much of the land has been reserved for wildlife in the form of private concessions. This means that huge tracts of land can be traversed upon by one camp only – for its guests to walk and game view in alarge, game rich area which you have completely to yourselves. This makes what we call a pristine game viewing experience!

In addition you have the contrast of the Kalahari desert which is fascinating in itself, as it it home to desert dwelling species such as the brown hyaena, meerkat, black maned lion and antelope that can only be found in the desert. Safari botswana can only mean one thing – a very private safari in a country which has a huge wildlife population (in Chobe, the elephant population can get to 70 000).

You can game view by vehicle, on elephant back, by canoe, on horseback, on foot – and that is what makes it so special – the sheer variety available to you! You can then end off at Victoria Falls or on the coast in Mozambique – it is perfectly located and with direct flights to Cape Town, you can end off in a city if you wish!
