Discover Botswana


Botswana is Africa’s ultimate wilderness — a vast, untamed country where the Okavango Delta spills across the Kalahari sands and elephants gather in their thousands along the Chobe River. Its low-volume, high-value approach to tourism means private concessions offer some of the most exclusive and pristine safari experiences on the continent.

From mokoro glides through the Delta’s papyrus channels to walking safaris in the Linyanti and star-filled nights on the Makgadikgadi salt pans, Botswana rewards those seeking wild, crowd-free Africa at its most magnificent.

When to visit Botswana

May to October is the dry season — the best game viewing, as wildlife gathers around shrinking waterholes and the Delta floods to its peak. The green season from November to March brings dramatic skies, newborn wildlife and the Kalahari’s zebra migration, with fewer guests and lower rates.
