Botswana Safari Holidays

Introduction

A Botswana safari is unique. Take a Botswana holiday and discover a country of stark contrasts, where the endless semi-desert of the Kalahari is relieved by one of the greatest natural wonders of the world, the Okavango Delta.




Client Viewpoint

"Botswana and the Okavango were amazing. We thank you for looking after us so well and all the little extras that made the trip so special - but above all personal service from Katie."

Mrs P, Oxfordshire.

Where To Go

One of the greatest natural wonders of the world, the Okavango Delta. Drawing its water from the rainy season in the Angolan highlands, this extraordinary area becomes a haven for a multitude of birds as sparkling, life-giving water fills the flood plains and trickles through reed filled channels.


To the south east, your Botswana safari might include the Makgadikgadi Pans, once a magnificent lake, are now dry and covered with a startlingly white saline crust which stretches for mile upon endless mile, relieved only by palm tree islands and huge baobabs.




In the dry season, the Chobe River and Chobe Park attract elephant in their hundreds, while the Savuti Channel is well known for its black maned lion.



In the eastern corner of Botswana, where the legendary Limpopo and Shashe rivers meet, lies one of the world's largest private game reserves. Some 71,000 hectares in extent The Northern Tuli Game Reserve was once a part of a vast ecosystem. The reserve has spectacular scenery, an incredible diversity of wildlife and some 350 bird species.
