Botswana

Botswana safari travel options offer a wilderness destination in one of the great African success stories. Botswana is completely landlocked but manages to have one of the most spectacular water features in the world – the Okavango Delta! Botswana safari tours also include the largest elephant population in Africa at Chobe National Park and some of the last remaining Bushman in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. There are huge salt pans visible from space at Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pan National Parks, prolific game viewing in the protected Moremi Reserve and rich wildlife and beauty in the Linyanti and Savute Regions. Botswana safari options are offered in a nation that has enjoyed independence since 1966.

Botswana has non-racial policies, and standards of health & education unequalled in Sub-Saharan Africa. 38% of its land is devoted to national parks, reserves and wildlife management areas. Most of these areas are unfenced, allowing animals to roam wild and free.

You get a rare feeling of travelling through an immense Nature Wonderland. Botswana safari travel options offer varied nature and wildlife environments. Vast expanses of uninhabited wilderness and limitless space. A rare experience in today’s world!

The country offers a wide selection of accommodation for your Botswana Safari. With the number of lodges built constantly monitored so as not to impact the natural environment, you should book in advance for your African Safari.

Remote island retreats, luxury wilderness experiences, open decks onto waterways and lagoons, exclusive Botswana Safari lodges, isolated wild expansive views, game viewing from your private plunge pool on your Honeymoon, or educational and family friendly – if you chat to one of our expert consultants they will help you decide what is best for your Botswana Safari vacation.

Climate

Summer is from November until the end of March, and usually brings very high temperatures. It is also the rainy season, and cloud coverage and rain can cool things down, although only usually for a short period of time.

The winter season begins in May and ends in August. This is also the dry season when virtually no rainfall occurs.

Winter days are invariably sunny and cool to warm; however, evening and night temperatures can drop below freezing point in some areas.

The in-between periods - April/early May and September/October - still tend to be dry, but the days are cooler than in summer and the nights are warmer than in winter.
