Botswana is one of Africa’s premier safari destinations, offering exclusive access to some of the continent’s most unspoiled wilderness. From the waterways of the Okavango Delta to the predator-rich Moremi Game Reserve, and the elephant herds of Chobe National Park to the surreal landscapes of the Makgadikgadi Pans, each region offers its own unique wildlife encounters.
Unlike busier safari destinations, Botswana focuses on low-impact, high-quality tourism, meaning fewer vehicles, more space, and a deeper connection to nature.
Whether you’re seeking a private safari in Botswana or a classic game drive experience, this is where to go for an authentic and luxurious African safari.
Chobe National Park is often frowned upon by African safari aficionados when compared alongside other wildlife viewing areas of Botswana. As a national park rather than a private concession, it is accessible via a variety of camps and lodges, rather than just the camps on the concession itself, hence it attracts larger crowns. In our opinion, however, Chobe along with Savute is worthy of consideration when planning your Botswana safari.
Standing in the middle of the largest salt pans on earth, a featureless terrain of white sand and salt, it would appear as though you are viewing the curvature of the earth as it meets the milky blue sky. A seemingly endless horizon and dramatic lunar expanse that stretches as far as the eye can see, this is a part of the Kalahari ecosystem, yet it could not be more different to the game reserve.
Moremi Reserve is in many respects the heart of the Okavango. The delta's central section is surrounded by private concessions which, along with other areas such as the Mopane Tongue, combine to form the Okavango Delta. Moremi was the first reserve in Africa to be established by local residents. As it is a public reserve, no night drives or walking safaris are permitted within the reserve.

Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, occupying a total area of 275,000 acres, is located on the southern banks of the Linyanti River where the landscape changes from marshland to lagoons and meandering waterways, leading to open grassland and riverine forest. This variety of scenery lends itself to some awe-inspiring views of the pristine reserve and the river itself forms a natural border between Namibia and Botswana, whilst across the river northwards lies Namibia's Caprivi Strip.
Encapsulating the heart of wild Africa with its evocative scenes of wildlife and natural beauty, a journey into the untouched Okavango Delta is one of jaw-dropping big game viewing, peace and tranquility.

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) offers a breathtaking expanse of open space, stretching endlessly in every direction. This vast reserve, with its undulating sand ridges and occasional flat-topped acacias, is a sanctuary of raw natural beauty and diverse wildlife.
Central Kalahari Game Reserve is the second largest wildlife reserve in the world, covering over 50,000 square kilometres, most of which is inaccessible. It is the sheer sense of desolate, pristine landscape and untouched isolation that gives it such appeal, and the area is only seen by only a handful of visitors every year, making it ideal for those looking for a very private and peaceful African safari experience.
Nxai Pan National Park in the Kalahari boasts expansive grassy plains, fossil beds, and sweet grasses, attracting diverse wildlife year-round. The landscape transforms during the rainy season, offering lush vegetation and a thriving habitat for exceptional game viewing. This dynamic environment makes it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts seeking an immersive wildlife experience.
