Classic Botswana Safari
With around a week to spend in Botswana we suggest combining Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta, staying in both a 'wet' camp and 'dry' camp in the Delta to really get a feel for the iconic landscapes of Botswana. You'll get to explore this vast area that includes wide-open floodplains, waterways, marshes and lagoons. This may also include an example of what you may do on days, like two or three nights in Chobe National Park, two or three nights in the Okavango Delta, and two nights in another camp in the Okavango Delta.
Wildlife interactions in Botswana
- Elephant herds by Chobe River.

Client Reviews
- —Lauren Tiley
I had the most amazing time with NWS in Svalbard; the expedition leaders Mats and Hadleigh were great and got us really close to the wildlife and landscapes - the bear encounters were incredible (close and were able to watch them for literal hours demonstrating all sorts of behaviours), as were the opportunities to see walruses, seals, foxes and all sorts of birdlife. The ship was awesome, the open bridge policy was great and the crew were all lovely to chat to. The regular app updates on flight information, being able to see the travel docs etc. whilst on the boat (i.e. with no wifi) was also really useful.
