A landlock country boasting Deserts, Deltas & stunning landscapes makes Botswana a country high in diversity. Botswana has a high commitment to protecting and conserving its environment, wildlife and cultural heritage, making this great for the pristine wilderness, fantastic game viewing & birding all year round – this magnificent country is not to be missed.
As the planet’s largest inland deltas, this makes the Okavango Delta it the most sought after wilderness destination in the world.
With its combination of wetlands, drylands, palm and papyrus lined-waterways, as well as remote islands and thick woodlands, the Okavango Delta is lush in vegetation and rich in wildlife. In addition to boasting large predator numbers, the Delta also represents one of the world’s best birding and wildlife photography opportunities.
The Okavango Delta’s breathtaking vistas are best viewed by air, and on guided Mokoro boat trips through the many channels, bringing you closer to the river networks’ ecosystem.
Chobe National Park was Botswana’s first National Park, and is also the country’s most biologically diverse whilst enjoying one of the largest concentrations of game in Africa.
The Chobe River flows North of the Park and is great for Game Viewing – breeding herds of elephants, families of giraffe, sable and cape buffalo, especially in the drier season. The Park is well-known for its huge population of Elephant.
Chobe National Park is easily accessible by road or flight, with its nearest town being Kasane.
DID YOU KNOW: The park contains an estimated 50,000 elephants, perhaps the highest elephant concentration of Africa?
Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is part of the Kalahari Basin and is one of the largest salt pans in the world.
Humans have been among this area since the Stone Age – with the history visible to us at various archaeological sites. During the rainy season, many herds of game can be viewed, with accompanying predators (as well as many not-so-common animals.)
Birdlife is magnificent throughout most of the year. The area is vast and remote as well as it being a great location for the all-rounder traveller. The Park is well located and can be easily accessed from the towns of Nata and Maun.
DID YOU KNOW: The Pans are home to one of the continent’s largest zebra populations?

With its wild and beautiful natural surroundings – nothing can prepare your expectations! The best way to experience the Kalahari would be to camp under the magnificent stars, awaiting what nature has to unfold.
The area is easily accessible from Maun (Central) or Gaborone (Southern).

Nxai Pan National Park was originally state land. This area of 1676 square kilometres was declared a game reserve in 1970 and then in 1992 the boundaries were extended to include Baines Baobabs to give the total area of 2578 square kilometres and National Park status was granted.
The Nxai Pan National Park is basically a salt pan. After a good rainfall water flows into the pan and on the grass country. The way into the pan should be travelled only by a all-wheel-driven vehicle. In the park there are two Campsites.
In Nxai Pan National Park there are two small public camping grounds with ablution facilities; one in the south on the edge of the plain, less than 2 kilometres from the entrance gate, and the other in the north, 8 kilometres from the gate, within mopane woodland. In addition to this, informal camping is permitted at Baines Baobabs, although no facilities are available and the nearest water supply is at the Game Scout Camp situated near the entrance gate.
