BOTSWANA

Luxury Safaris in Botswana

Botswana’s diverse lands rumble with the congregation of wildlife across hypnotic landscapes. Deserts, wetlands, savannahs, the world’s largest in-land delta and wildlife-rich game reserves create one of the wildest regions in Africa. 70% of the country’s land surface is dominated by the Kalahari Desert, an endless expanse of land that occupies the centre of Botswana where the San people live. However, it is perhaps even more renowned for the spectacular Okavango Delta, the largest inland delta on Earth, and the Moremi game reserve, known for its predators and big five game viewing. In the north is the Chobe National Park, home to the highest concentration of elephants in Africa, plus an immense collection of other game. With an incredibly strong commitment to conservation, luxury safaris in Botswana can include adventure tours along the waterways of the Okavango Delta, birdwatching and game-drive spotting for endangered species, such as the wild dog, as well as a host of other activities. Botswana truly offers some of the most varied and distinct safaris on the continent.

Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta is the largest inland delta in the world, and instead of flowing into the sea, the annual flood of fresh water flows inland, spreading over 15,000km of the Kalahari sand in a maze of lagoons and channels. The delta forms part of the Kalahari Basin, situated at the southern periphery of the Great Rift Valley and covers an area of 22,000 square kilometres. This is home to an estimated 9,000 species of flora and fauna – as such the delta is widely regarded as one of the premium destinations for game viewing. Although the periphery is semi-arid, the delta itself is a patchwork of cool clear streams, lagoons, floodplains and forested islands. In the dry winter season vast numbers of wildlife flock to where the floodwaters infiltrate the delta – providing one of the natural world’s most spectacular sights.

Moremi Game Reserve

The Moremi was the first wildlife sanctuary created by an African tribe, the Batawana, and is undoubtedly one of the world's most pristine wilderness areas. Consisting of a network of waterways surrounding two large islands, Moremi includes Chief's Island in the West and Mopane Tongue in the East. Chief ’s Island is the historical hunting grounds of the great Batawana chiefs. The area's diverse ecosystems, riverine woodland, flood plains, wetlands and reed beds, mopane forest and dry savannah woodland are all flourishing, interrupted only by the occasional jeep track. The foresight of the local community has ensured that nature's web has flourished undisturbed, offering a glimpse of the divine, a veritable Garden of Eden. Moremi is a place of lily-covered wetlands, grass plains and forests, where even at the busiest time of year you're likely to be the only spectator at the most dramatic animal sighting.

Chobe National Park

In Botswana’s northwest, immense teak forests grow where, within Chobe National Park, the largest population of elephants (estimated at 100,000) in the world live a secure, protected existence. Lions, leopards and rare wild dogs roam the broad plains that shrink and grow with the change of the seasons as the rivers and streams flood. The lush Chobe riverfront is noted for the large concentrations of mega fauna (elephant and buffalo) that gather on its banks in the dry season. During the dry season the Chobe is the only major source of water north of the Okavango, hence the number of game attracted from great distances. Like the Okavango, the river originates in the highlands of Angola and flows into the mighty Zambezi. The Chobe boasts Bushbuck and Puku antelope, as well as a variety of birds, in addition to elephant and buffalo. It is also famed for its majestic sunsets.
