Botswana

Why Choose a Botswana Safari?

• The Okavango Delta: a UNESCO World Heritage inland delta explored by mokoro (dugout canoe), boat and on foot.
• Elephant country: Botswana has one of the largest elephant populations in Africa, especially around Chobe.
• Fewer crowds: Botswana’s low-volume tourism means quieter sightings and a true wilderness feel.
• Varied landscapes: waterways, floodplains, salt pans and the Kalahari desert.

Best Time to Go on a Botswana Safari

• June to October (dry season): the best game viewing, as wildlife gathers around permanent water. The Okavango’s floodwaters are usually at their highest in the middle of the year.
• November to April (green season): lush scenery, newborn animals, excellent birding and lower rates. Some areas are harder to reach after heavy rain.

How Much Does a Botswana Safari Cost?

Botswana focuses on low-impact, high-quality tourism, so safaris are generally priced higher than in East Africa. The cost depends on the season, the camps you choose and whether you travel by road or light aircraft. Request a free proposal and we will match the trip to your budget.

Botswana Safari FAQs

How many days do I need for a Botswana safari?

Five to eight days is ideal for combining the Okavango Delta with Moremi or Chobe. Shorter trips work well if you focus on one area.

What is a mokoro safari?

A mokoro is a traditional dugout-style canoe, poled by a local guide through the Okavango’s shallow channels. It is a quiet, close-to-nature way to see the delta.

Can I combine Botswana with Victoria Falls or Namibia?

Yes. Chobe is close to Victoria Falls, and many guests combine Botswana with a Namibia safari.

Do I need a visa for Botswana?

Many nationalities can visit Botswana without a visa for short stays, but rules vary. Check the official requirements for your nationality before travelling.

Is Botswana good for a first safari?

Yes, especially if you want a quieter, wilder experience. If you prefer shorter transfers and more affordable options, a Kenya safari is also a great first choice.
