Botswana
is Africa
at its very best - untamed, vast expanses of pristine
wilderness, teeming with wildlife, alive with expectancy
and an ultimate safari destination.
The
magnificent Okavango Delta and
neighboring Chobe National Park form
the nucleus of this ultimate African safari
destination, where great herds of grazers and browsers
- followed by predators - roam between the red sands of
the Kalahari – home to the San
Bushmen – prides perfect peace and solitude,
and the grand channels of the Okavango Delta,
Chobe National Park and
Linyanti Rivers.
Also
worth visiting are the searing thirst lands of the
Makgadikgadi Pans - a unique range of
ecosystems in which bird, plant and animal life
abound, and the Central Kalahari.Botswanais a land locked
country, dominated in geographical terms by the Kalahari Desert;
however it is probably more famous for its safari tours
in the spectacular inland Okavango Delta.
A Safari
in Botswana
offers travelers truly amazing and diverse experiences
in pristine environments.

the fascinating deserts, wetlands, savannahs, the delta
and wildlife-packed game reserves of one of the wildest
regions in Africa.

drives and walking safaris

at close, yet safe range. Botswana
prides itself of low volumes and high returns.
An
African safari
is truly an unforgettable experience - an event which
captures the imagination and evokes noble ideals of an
era of exploration and discovery.
Almost
every
safari experience
you have ever dreamed about can come true in
Botswana.
You can fly, drive, walk with Bushmen,
glide past Hippos in a dug-out canoe, horse ride or wade
through the delta on the back of an elephant.
Botswana
is renowned for understatedly stylish
accommodation in the heart of the breathtaking
Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park
and Moremi Wildlife Reserve areas. They
range from tented sites, to established
camps with permanently tented
camps, to chalets built from reeds or brick.
Throughout
Botswana,
camps are sited at prime locations and
strive to achieve the perfect balance between comfort
and ambiance with the enjoyment of the natural bush.
After your evening game-drive,
enjoy a delicious alfresco banquet of Pan-
African cuisine in the boma (outdoor)
illuminated by dozens of candles and lanterns.
Alternatively, your private deck provides a romantic
setting for intimate candlelit
dinners.
The best time to visit this beautiful area is
from May through to October, when the Okavango River floods the delta.
December to February is the wet season and is
not recommended.
The best time for game viewing in the delta is
during the May-October period, as the animal life is concentrated along the
flooded areas and the vegetation has dried out.
Birding and vegetation is wonderful to
experience during the rainy season (Nov - April) as the migrant bird populations
are returning and the plants are flowering and green.
