Botswana's Top Experiences

1 Go on a World-class Safari in the Okavango Delta

Explore the legendary wetlands of the Okavango Delta on the back of an elephant, 4x4 vehicle or on foot, while boating and canoe trips offer the chance to discover remote lagoons and backwaters.

High concentrations of big game and excellent birding make the Okavango a naturalist's paradise and the accommodation ranges from bush camps to exclusive luxury lodges.

2 Take a Chobe River Boat Cruise

Drift lazily along the sparkling Chobe River sipping an afternoon ice-cold drink while hippos and crocodiles make way for hundreds of thirsty elephants crowding the river banks.

The bird watching is excellent and you can even throw a fishing line over the side to catch your supper. Superb accommodation is available on the river's edge.

3 Watch the Fittest Survive

Big game country beckons...as well as boasting the largest elephant population in Africa, huge herds of buffalo, a summer zebra migration and dense concentrations of other game species make Chobe a top area for predators. This is particularly true at Savuti, where lions and hyenas are locked in a brutal battle for supremacy.

Different habitats, from swamps to savannas, offer a diverse range of animals and birds. Camp out in the wilds or book yourself into a luxury lodge.

4 Go Birdwatching in the Kalahari

The summer rains (December to April) transform the burnt, dusty Kalahari into a verdant wildlife Eden.

The Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, Central Kalahari Game Reserve and Nxai Pan National Park come alive as they are inundated with migrant bird species - rarities and vagrants, raptors following termite swarms, and seas of pink flamingos are some of the highlights.

Excellent game viewing is an added bonus in some of Botswana's most remote destinations.

5 Discover Linyanti and Kwando

Hidden away in a remote corner of Botswana and sandwiched between the wetlands of the Okavango Delta and the dry woodlands of the Chobe National Park is a wilderness renowned for its wildlife and stunning scenery: the Linyanti Reserve and Kwando Private consession.

Some of Botswana's finest lodges give you the opportunity to fly in and explore this magical area by 4x4 vehicle or boat.
